Ukraine still holds ground inside Russia’s Kursk, commander says
Ukrainian forces remain entrenched inside Russia’s Kursk region, according to a recent statement by a Ukrainian military commander. The incursion reportedly took place last week, with Ukrainian troops claiming control over several key checkpoints and strategic positions within the disputed territory.
The Ukrainian commander asserted that the incursion was a defensive move in response to alleged Russian aggression along the border. He emphasized that Ukrainian forces have no intention of further escalating tensions and are prepared to engage in diplomacy to resolve the situation peacefully.
Meanwhile, Russian officials have denied the presence of Ukrainian troops within the Kursk region, labeling the reports as false propaganda aimed at discrediting Russia. They have called for an immediate withdrawal of Ukrainian forces and have warned of potential consequences if the situation is not resolved swiftly.
The incident has further strained the already tense relations between Ukraine and Russia, with both sides accusing each other of violating sovereignty and territorial integrity. The international community has called for restraint and dialogue to prevent any escalation into a full-fledged conflict.
The situation in the Kursk region remains fluid, with uncertainties about the true extent of Ukrainian presence and the potential for de-escalation efforts to take effect.
