Afghan Voice Agency (AVA) - International Service: "Alexander Sirsky", the commander of the Ukrainian armed forces, told the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky on Friday that the Ukrainian forces have advanced one to three kilometers in some areas of the Kursk region.
According to ISNA, the Washington-based Institute of War Studies had previously denied the Ukrainians' claim of a large-scale advance on Russian soil.
"In general, the situation is under control," Sirsky said regarding Ukraine's attack on Russia's Kursk region. "All activities are being carried out according to the plan and the logistics system is working well."
According to this senior Ukrainian commander, the fighting is going on near the village of Malaya Lukina.
Sirisky also said, "I hope many will be captured there."
Meanwhile, Ukraine has refused to announce the full number of Russian prisoners.
Meanwhile, the British media wrote that the Ukrainian soldiers involved in the attack on the Russian "Kursk" region were trained by British military experts just a few weeks before this invasion.
The Times writes that Kiev used "some of the hard-nosed Ukrainian troops" recruited from other front-line sectors during the Kursk offensive.
A member of the Ukrainian army, who was injured in a clash with Russian forces in the border town of Sodzha and was hospitalized, said that the unit he was in, and the soldiers were told to "be ready to attack Russia today", from the city Volchansk was defending in Kharkiv region.
