Russian war of attack: Putin in Kursk: Last Ukrainian should be expelled

Russia’s President Vladimir Putin surprisingly visited a command center in the war zone in view of the successful counter -offensive of his troops in the border region of Kursk. He gave the command to drive away the remaining Ukrainian units from Kursk, as the state news agency reported TASS. Pictures of the meeting with chief of staff Waleri Gerassimow showed Putin in camouflage uniform. The exact place was not mentioned.

According to Tass, it was the first visit to this part of the front for the Kremlin chief. Ukrainian units surprisingly entered Russia in August 2024 and had thus shifted the war to the opponent’s field for the first time.

After the Ukrainians could hold this bridge head for a long time, they have had to withdraw faster and faster under Russian pressure in the past few days. According to Moscow, Russian troops occupied the district town of Sudscha on Wednesday, which was the backbone of the Ukrainian push for seven months. However, the area has not yet been completely cleared.

Russian general staff: the last Ukrainian troops circled

The last Ukrainian troops are circled, said Gerassimow, without this being independently checked. The Kiev leadership occupied the area as a exchange object for possible negotiations with Russia, said the chief of staff. In addition, the seven -month push was supposed to bind Russian forces. “But these intentions of the opponent failed completely.”

At Kursk, 430 Ukrainian soldiers were to have been captured, reported Gerassimow. Putin said that prisoners should be treated human. Foreign mercenaries did not fall under the law of war. He also said that Ukrainian soldiers in Kursk are also considered terrorists under Russian law. Criminal proceedings have been initiated. Ukraine has been defending itself against a Russian invasion for more than three years.
