    1. We have the situation under control. Yesterday was a very difficult day, there were several waves of attacks from the enemy. Most of the enemy that attacked yesterday has been destroyed. Some of their equipment has been destroyed. Today we feel that the enemy is redeploying in order to try to come in from the other side.

    1. It is now our primary task in defensive operations overall to destroy as much Russian war potential as possible and conduct maximum counteroffensive actions. This includes creating a buffer zone on the aggressor's territory – our operation in the Kursk region.

    1. I don't know yet whether this is a great idea or a suicidal move.
    2. What I do know is that there are many risks, and one is that it has weakened defense of the Donetsk province by diverting Ukrainian forces to Kursk.
    3. The whole naïve, illusory concept of so-called red lines regarding Russia, which dominated the assessment of the war by some partners, has crumbled these days somewhere near Sudzha.
