Ukraine has dismissed reports from Russia claiming that it has fully recaptured the Kursk region, insisting that Ukrainian forces are still active there. Russian military chief Valery Gerasimov announced the recapture during a video meeting with President Putin, declaring a complete liberation of the area. Ukraine's military chief refuted these claims, describing them as propaganda. Although the situation remains challenging for Ukraine, it aims to leverage its territorial control in Kursk for future negotiations amid ongoing conflict and Russian advancements in the region.
Statements by the enemy leadership about the defeat of the Ukrainian troops are nothing more than propaganda tricks, said Ukraine's chief of staff in a post on Telegram.
The Kyiv regime's adventure has completely failed, Putin told Gerasimov.
He praised the heroism of North Korean soldiers in Kursk, saying they provided significant assistance in defeating the group of Ukrainian armed forces.
Kyiv has sought to use its hold on land in Kursk as leverage in future peace talks with Russia.
