Ukrainian forces have reportedly advanced further into Russian territory, specifically up to two kilometers into the Kursk region. This development comes after Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced that discussions are underway to establish a military administration in Kursk in order to facilitate the evacuation of civilians. Interior Minister Ihor Klymenko also confirmed that a buffer zone is being created to protect border communities from shelling.
The Ukrainian military has implemented movement restrictions in the Sumy region, which borders Kursk. This measure is said to be in response to intense fighting in the area, as well as the increased presence of Russian reconnaissance and sabotage units.
The situation in the region remains tense, with ongoing conflict and the threat of further escalation. The advancement of Ukrainian forces into Russian territory marks a significant development in the conflict between the two countries.
