Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated that the new offensive aims to establish a buffer zone that would restrict Russia's capability for long-range attacks against Ukraine.
Ukrainian forces reportedly control over 1,250 square kilometers of land and 92 settlements within the Kursk region, reflecting significant territorial gains in the latest military engagements.
The ongoing combat intensity is highlighted by the Ukrainian military's report of 63 skirmishes around Pokrovsk on a single day, indicative of fierce fighting in the area.
As advancements continue, Ukrainian authorities ordered the immediate evacuation of families with children from Pokrovsk due to the approaching Russian troops, signaling heightened military urgency.
