Putin said that the Kursk region will be cleared of the Ukrainian Armed Forces
President Vladimir Putin expressed confidence that the Kursk region will be completely liberated from the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU). With these words, the Russian leader addressed activists of the regional military-patriotic center "Vympel".
According to the president, after Ukrainian troops leave Russian territory, the demand for volunteer work there will increase.
"Now that we have cleared the enemy's territory, you have a lot of work ahead of you," President Putin said.
Military clashes with Ukrainian forces in the Kursk region have been ongoing since August 6. For this reason, a federal state of emergency has been declared in the region and a counter-terrorist operation regime is in effect.
At the same time, during the entire period of military operations in this direction, the Ukrainian army lost more than 29.6 thousand servicemen. In addition, the losses of the Ukrainian Armed Forces amounted to 184 tanks, 106 infantry fighting vehicles, 107 armored personnel carriers, 1078 armored fighting vehicles, 808 vehicles, 259 artillery pieces and 40 MLRS.
