Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has confirmed that Ukrainian troops are currently engaged in fighting inside Russia's Kursk region. This surprise cross-border incursion has proven to be a major embarrassment for the Kremlin. Zelensky praised Ukraine's armed forces for their efforts in pushing the war into the aggressor's territory, stating that Ukraine is committed to restoring justice and applying necessary pressure on the aggressor.
The incursion into Kursk, which marks a significant development in the ongoing conflict, caught both Russia and Ukraine's allies off guard. Ukrainian forces have been targeting the border region of Belgorod with airstrikes, but the Kursk operation represents the first time that regular Ukrainian and special operations units have entered Russian territory.
