On Tuesday, Ukraine assured that it “does not intend to remain on Russian territory” and that the invasion of the Kursk region is aimed only at protecting its territory from attacks by Russian troops and easing pressure from the front line.
“Unlike Russia, Ukraine does not want to seize the territory of other countries. We are not interested in seizing the Kursk region, but we want to protect our population,” said a representative of the Ukrainian MNE, adding that Ukraine’s invasion of Russian territory also helps ease the pressure on the front and prevents Russia from sending reinforcements to the Donetsk region.
Russia’s Defense Ministry on Tuesday guaranteed that Ukraine’s offensive had been halted, but the Ukrainian General Staff assured that its troops had advanced about three kilometers in the past 24 hours and captured about 40 square kilometers of territory. President Volodymyr Zelensky, for his part, said that Kyiv forces already control a total of 74 Russian facilities and insisted that the invasion was aimed at protecting the Ukrainian population from constant attacks by Russian troops from the Kursk region.
