Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine
More than 940 people were taken prisoner by Ukrainian forces.
My respect to the soldiers on the Kursk front for their efficiency and resilience. Thanks to you, we are maintaining a "sanitary zone" on the territory of the aggressor country, blocking the enemy on the northern border of Sumy region. I am sure that new offensives and new victories are ahead of us.
He reported that due to the increase in the intensity of enemy actions and the enemy's attempts to displace and transfer hostilities to the territory of the Sumy region, he worked in the Sumy region in brigades of airborne assault troops, marines, territorial defense, mechanized and some other units.
According to Syrsky, during the work, he studied in detail the problematic issues related to the organization of combat operations, and also made a decision to replenish ammunition, drones, and move reserves.
