Today, General Syrsky also reported on the continuation of our movement in the Kursk region. The operation is proceeding exactly as we expected. The bravery of Ukrainians is doing great things.

"The Security Service of Ukraine, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Armed Forces, and the Foreign Intelligence Service have joined on an equal footing. The presence of the Ombudsman's infrastructure in the regions of Ukraine will also be strengthened to ensure transparent and high-quality work with relatives of prisoners and with civil society activists who are ready to help. This is our absolute priority - one of the ten points of the Peace Formula. And we will definitely do everything to ensure that Ukraine receives a just peace," Zelensky said.
