During his evening address, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy praised the Ukrainian military for holding back the enemy in Kursk Region.
‘I'm talking about the Kursk operation. There, our guys are holding back a fairly large grouping of Russian troops - 50,000 personnel of the occupier's army, who, thanks to the Kursk operation, cannot be sent to other areas of Russia's attacks on our territory. We greatly appreciate the bravery of all our soldiers, every unit involved in these battles,’ the President said.
Zelenskyy also noted the strikes of Ukrainian forces on Russian bases and logistics in the rear.
‘The strikes of our forces on Russian arsenals have reduced the number of artillery used by the occupier, and this is noticeable at the front. That's why we need long-range solutions from our partners - from America, from Britain, from Germany. This is something that is vital. The further our missiles and drones can hit, the less real combat power Russia will have,’ Zelenskyy said.
