Zelenski thanked the Ukrainian military, including soldiers carrying out tasks in the Kursk Oblast in the west of Russia, and defending the Sumsk Oblast “from the Russians' constant desire to enter Ukraine from these directions”.
“I want to thank all our soldiers... who have been fighting in these directions absolutely heroically since August last year,” stressed the president of Ukraine.

Ukrainians have been conducting an offensive in the Russian Kursk Oblast since August 2024, but in March they practically lost their base there. The army of Ukraine then attempted an offensive on the Russian region of Belarus.
According to Zelenski, Ukrainian operation in the Kursk Oblast is 1 of the main Ukrainian “results” during the war. “ It is perfectly fair to decision the war back to where it came from,” he noted.
