According to him, this is important, because the fighting is taking place precisely on Russian territory, in order to prevent tension from increasing against Ukrainian cities.

And we have 60,000 Russian soldiers on our territory, on the front, in the Kursk region. These are 60,000 who have not been added to the already significant forces of the occupier in Pokrovskoye and other areas in the Donetsk region. I am grateful to all our soldiers for their resilience, to each brigade for the result.

According to the General Staff, the losses of North Korean troops in Kursk already amount to 4 thousand people.
