The Russian military must defeat the Ukrainian forces that invaded Kursk Region “as soon as possible,” President Vladimir Putin said on Wednesday. He visited a command post in the region as Moscow’s forces continue a major counteroffensive against Kiev’s remaining troops in the area.
The president held a meeting with Russian military commanders during his visit and listened to a report by the Chief of the General Staff, Gen. Valery Gerasimov. Putin thanked the General Staff and the units fighting in the region for their efforts.
