Zelenskyy spoke about the situation on the battlefield
According to the president, on December 15, he listened to a report by the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Oleksandr Syrsky.
The situation at the front and in the areas where the Kursk operation was conducted was discussed in detail.
The situation is difficult in the Pokrovsky direction, and with Kurakhov. I am grateful to all the units that are destroying the occupier there. Also, special gratitude to our soldiers in Kursk — there is a need for strength to achieve the right results for Ukraine, for Ukrainians — in diplomacy.
Volodymyr Zelenskyy
President of Ukraine
The Head of State once again reminded that Ukraine needs a reliable and guaranteed peace.
Syrsky revealed new details of the Kursk operation
According to the Commander-in-Chief, the command of the Ukrainian army was carefully preparing to launch a counteroffensive on enemy territory.
We had a minimum and maximum task. Of course, we took into account the experience of conducting the Kharkiv operation (in 2022 — ed.). This is not an exaggeration, we really took into account this experience, taking into account the fact that the terrain was similar.
Oleksandr Syrsky
Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine
Syrsky also added that 2 days before the start of the offensive, he toured all the units, explained the main goal to everyone, and wished the Ukrainian soldiers success.
According to his data, the aggressor country Russia very carefully prepared its territory for defense.
For example, in the Kursk region there was a powerful defensive line, including minefields of various configurations, but this did not save the Russians.
