Territory controlled by the Defense Forces began to increase in the direction of Kursk - Leshchenko

The territory controlled by the Ukrainian military has begun to increase in the direction of the Russian city of Kursk. This was stated by Advisor to the Head of the Presidential Office Serhiy Leshchenko during a telethon on Monday, UNN reports.

The most capable brigades, airborne assault and ground troops of Ukraine, equipped with advanced Western weapons, are located in the Kursk region, and they are implementing all the tasks that can be implemented in these circumstances as efficiently as possible. The territory controlled by, for example, Ukraine or Russia can change on the map quite quickly, because this territory is controlled by the presence of the Ukrainian military at certain points, and not in a way that it is completely controlled by us

He noted that the Kursk region should be treated as a resource.

This is our resource for exchanging the territories of the Kursk region for the territories Ukraine needs - our lands that are currently occupied. Of course, this territory can grow in one direction or another. Now it has begun to grow in the direction of the city of Kursk, which is much more painful for Putin because it is a regional center
