Russia’s Defense Ministry announced on Monday that its troops have made significant advances in recapturing three villages in the Ukrainian-occupied Kursk region. This comes as former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev claimed that Ukrainian soldiers in Kursk are nearly surrounded by Russian forces.
These developments are occurring just days before a crucial meeting between US and Ukrainian delegates in Saudi Arabia. The purpose of this meeting is to negotiate a ceasefire and potentially end the ongoing conflict in the region.
The situation in Kursk is tense, with reports of heavy fighting and increasing casualties on both sides. The capture of these villages marks a strategic victory for Russian forces and could potentially shift the balance of power in the region.
The international community is closely watching these latest developments, as tensions continue to escalate between Russia and Ukraine. The outcome of the upcoming talks in Saudi Arabia will be crucial in determining the future of the conflict and the stability of the region.
