recently, ukrainian president zelensky said in an interview with the us media that he would "hold on" to the russian territories he occupied indefinitely. in response, russian president's press secretary peskov said on september 4 local time that this statement "exposed the nature of the kiev regime" and "we need to go our own way and complete the task of the special military operation."

according to a report by nbc on september 3, zelensky said in an interview with the media that ukraine is planning to "hold" the russian territory it occupied indefinitely in an attempt to force russia to sit at the negotiation table. he also said that he could not discuss whether ukraine planned to seize more russian territory.

according to the russian media "life.ru", in response to zelensky's remarks, peskov told the media during the eastern economic forum on september 4 local time that the kiev regime has exposed its nature and plans to gain a foothold in the kursk region. "they are going their own way, and we also need to go our own way to complete the tasks of the special military operation."

peskov stressed that russia will definitely achieve its goals.

according to nbc, in the past month, ukrainian armed forces invaded russia's kursk region, claiming to have taken control of thousands of square kilometers of russian territory.

zelensky claimed that one of the goals of the invasion of russia was to force russia to withdraw its troops from ukraine, especially in eastern ukraine. he pointed out that russia had transferred 60,000 troops from ukraine to kursk, but the number of troops around pokrovsk in eastern ukraine had not been significantly reduced.

nbc reported that as the ukrainian army continues to shrink in eastern ukraine, the russian army is gradually seizing the key hubs of pokrovsk and the neighboring toretsk in the donetsk region.

the russian ministry of defense announced on the 4th local time that the russian "central" group of troops completely controlled the karlovka settlement in the donetsk region through "active actions". the "eastern" group of troops controlled the plechistovka settlement in the donetsk region.

russian president vladimir putin said on the 2nd that the russian army is advancing faster than ever in eastern ukraine.
