Ukraine's military commander, Oleksandr Syrsky, confirmed that Ukrainian forces still control approximately 90 sq km of Russian territory within the Kursk region, despite a year-long Russian counteroffensive involving 10,000 troops. Syrsky vowed to continue strikes on Russian military targets, emphasizing that civilian areas are not targeted. While Ukraine initially captured over 1,000 sq km in August 2024, they've since retreated due to heavy Russian reinforcements, including troops from North Korea.
