President Volodymyr Zelensky assured Sunday that the Ukrainian army continues its operations in the Russian region of Koursk, contradicting the announcement the day before by Moscow about the total “liberation” of this border area by Russian troops.

Our forces continue their defensive operations active in the designated areas of the (Russian) regions of Koursk and Belgorodhe said on social networks.

Ukrainian military officials also rejected the false claims of the Russian army staff, denouncing propaganda of Moscow on this subject.

Since Saturday, several Russian telegram channels specializing in the monitoring of fights have also brought back fights still in progress between Russians and Ukrainians in the Koursk region.

However, the chief of staff of the Russian army, Valeri Guerassimov, announced on Saturday to President Vladimir Putin that this Russian border region of Ukraine had been entirely released Ukrainian troops.

The forces of kyiv had entered there in August 2024, still occupying a few pockets until then.

However, Vladimir Putin had in the past made it clear that he was not ready to negotiate on the outcome of the conflict launched by the assault of his forces against Ukraine in 2022 as long as the Ukrainian forces were not entirely hunted of this region.
