Details

The operation is complicated, but it is important that it is going according to our plan. There are several results of this transaction, I can't talk about all of them. First of all, it is the exchange fund. It is being replenished, which is positive. The second is the cessation of the operation in the north of Russia. It was a preventive strike, and our operation fulfilled this task. We have prevented the encirclement of our part of the Sumy region and the desire to occupy the capital of the region, the city of Sumy. Someone said that we were playing the card for a dialog. What dialog? That someone was Putin. We are not playing any cards. We are very open with our partners. We told them how diplomatically we are moving towards a just peace and the end of the war. And everyone was invited to the platform of the peace formula or peace summit, supporting it or just talking about it

He also stated that he believes the goals of the operation in the Kursk region will be achieved.

There are more than the ones I told you about publicly. Now, how does this affect the fact that the troops on the territory of Ukraine will be reduced, that Putin will move these troops to the Kursk region. I think this is a very important conclusion. This is one of the goals of this operation - to show the reality of who Putin is and those states that have not yet understood why he came to occupy the territory of our country. I think they have already realized. To show their society what is more expensive for Putin - the occupation of the territory of Ukraine or the protection of his population. And I am very glad that everything I told our partners about, we have now shown it in practice. He is still thinking about how to keep the occupied territories, and he is not thinking about how to protect his people. He is now bombing his villages. This is just bravo. There is no reaction except for applause. Just bravo. His people there say they are shocked that they believed in this demon. You can just see the face he is showing to his society now. Our guys have to keep their heads up, they are good. The only negative thing about this operation is that I cannot name and thank all the teams. I know them all

Recall

President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that the world media portray the events in the Kursk region as Ukraine once again surprising, and Russia once again using its repertoire to show how the aggressor state treats its citizens, whom it calls "the population," how Russia "does not abandon" its own, how its soldiers loot their own stores.
