Ukraine claims full control of Russian town of Sudzha in Kursk region

There have been reports of a rapid Russian advance on the city of Pokrovsk, a key base for the Ukrainian defense in Donetsk province. The situation remains fluid, and it is unclear how the conflict will unfold.
1 / 2
Let's sit down and end this fight. Neither Ukrainian people, nor Russians or Belarusians need it.
What's happening in Kursk is the incursion of terrorist sabotage groups, so there is no frontline as such … There is an incursion because there are forests that are very difficult to control.
This incursion into Russian territory is a gamble by the Ukrainians to regain control. Everyone realises that the coming months, before winter, are going to be crucial. The Ukrainians therefore have every interest in trying to reshuffle the cards now to put themselves back in a more favourable situation by weakening the Russian army on the eastern front.
Ukraine is not interested in occupying Russian territories.
In the Kursk region, we can clearly see how the military tool is being used objectively to persuade Russia to enter a fair negotiation process.
We have taken control of 1,150 square kilometers of territory and 82 settlements.
We are moving forward in Kursk region. A military commandant's office has been created which must ensure order and also all the needs of the local population.
The main efforts are focused on preventing the enemy from advancing in the directions of Toretsk and Pokrovsk, inflicting maximum losses, and creating favourable conditions for further actions.
Give them weapons they need to win the war they can't afford to lose.
What do I think of Kursk? Bold, brilliant, beautiful. Keep it up.
Nothing about our policy has changed, and with the actions that they are taking today, they're not in violation of our policy.
We provide them with equipment, we provide them with advice, but when it comes to the kind of day-by-day tactics that they carry out, the day-by-day strikes that they take, sometimes we're in communication about them, sometimes we're not.
Smart people in Kyiv have calculated that they should take over this hub, in order that the Russian army will have to destroy it [to take it back].
