Kyiv • UNN
The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine reported that fighting in the Kursk region continues, Ukrainian troops are holding positions and inflicting losses on the enemy. The statements of the Russian Federation about the defeat are propaganda.

The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine reported that the defensive operation of the Defense Forces of Ukraine in certain areas of the Kursk region continues, there is no threat of encirclement of our units, and the statements of the Russian Federation are propaganda, writes UNN.
Reports from representatives of the highest command of the aggressor country about the alleged completion of hostilities on the territory of the Kursk region of the Russian Federation do not correspond to reality. The defensive operation of the Defense Forces of Ukraine in certain areas of the Kursk region continues. The operational situation is difficult, but our units continue to hold certain positions and perform tasks as intended, while inflicting effective fire damage on the enemy from all types of weapons, including the use of active defense tactics.

The General Staff indicated that "since the beginning of the day, in the operational zone of the "Kursk" group of troops, five assault actions of the enemy have been repelled, and another such combat engagement is currently ongoing."
"There is no threat of encirclement of our units," the General Staff said in a statement.
"Statements by the enemy leadership about the "defeat" of the Ukrainian group of troops are nothing more than a propaganda trick and a desire to pass off wishful thinking as reality. Active actions of our troops in certain areas of the Belgorod region of the Russian Federation are also ongoing," the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine said.
