Zelensky confirms Russian counteroffensive in Ukrainian-controlled Kursk
Briefly

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky confirmed that Russian troops are launching counteroffensive actions to reclaim the Kursk region, occupied by Ukraine last month.
Zelensky emphasized that the Russian counteroffensive aligns with Ukraine's strategic plan, clarifying the situation will evolve as both forces engage in combat.
The British Defense Secretary noted that holding the Kursk region is vital for Ukraine, asserting that its retention would weaken Putin and strengthen Ukrainian defenses.
