Ukrainian President Zelenskyy reported a successful military incursion into Russia's Kursk region, taking control of settlements and forcing tens of thousands to evacuate.
Zelenskyy stated that the objectives of the Ukrainian offensive included establishing a buffer zone, seeking a peaceful resolution to the war, and compelling Russian forces to stretch.
Despite the success in Kursk, Ukrainian troops continue to face challenges in eastern Donbas, where the Russian army is advancing steadily, particularly around strategic hubs.
President Putin responded to Ukraine's actions with a call for a significant retaliatory measure, indicating the escalating tension and potential consequences of the conflict.
