We Will Maintain Defense as Long as Necessary: Syrski

The Supreme Commander of the Ukrainian Armed Forces has promised to "maintain the defense in the Kursk region for as long as it is appropriate and necessary," reports Meduza. Aleksandr Syrski stated that Russian forces are attempting to push the Ukrainian armed forces out of the Kursk region and shift military operations into Ukraine's Sumy and Kharkiv regions.

"Despite the intensified pressure from the Russian-North Korean army, we will maintain our defense in Kursk for as long as it is necessary and appropriate," Syrski said.
