Ukrainian President Zelensky said on the 13th that the Ukrainian army's offensive in Russia's Kursk Oblast is still continuing.

Zelensky had a video call with Ukrainian Armed Forces Commander-in-Chief Sersky on the same day. Zelensky later posted on social media that despite the difficult and fierce fighting, the Ukrainian army continued to advance in the Kursk region and Ukraine's "bargaining chips" were increasing.

Zelensky said Ukraine has taken control of 74 settlements in the Kursk region and carried out inspection and stabilization measures in these settlements. Work on developing a humanitarian solution for the Ukrainian-controlled areas is still ongoing. Preparations for Ukraine's next move are also underway.

Serski informed Zelensky that the Ukrainian army had controlled 40 square kilometers of territory in the Kursk region in the past 24 hours. As of the 12th, the Ukrainian army had controlled about 1,000 square kilometers of Russian territory.

The Ukrainian army raided Russia's Kursk region on the 6th, and then the two sides broke out in fierce conflict in the region. Russian President Vladimir Putin held a meeting on the situation on Russia's southern border on the 12th and said that Russia will resolutely respond to a series of provocations from Ukraine in the border area.
