Zelenskyy says surprise Ukrainian attack in Russia puts 'necessary pressure on the aggressor' | CBC News LoadedPresident Volodymyr Zelenskyy acknowledged for the first time on Saturday that Ukrainian forces were fighting in the surprise offensive in Russia's Kursk, as attacks on the border region continued with authorities rushing to evacuate people.
In a sign of the gravity of the situation, Russia imposed a sweeping security regime in three border regions on Saturday, while Belarus — a staunch ally of Moscow — sent more troops to its border with Ukraine, accusing Kyiv of violating its air space. "Ukraine is proving that it can indeed restore justice and ensure the necessary pressure on the aggressor."
Russia's top general, Valery Gerasimov, said on Wednesday the attacks had been halted, but Russia has not pushed the Ukrainian forces back over the border. Residents of an apartment building damaged after shelling leave the area in Kursk, Russia, on Sunday. Kyiv and Moscow deny targeting civilians in their attacks in the war, which has killed thousands of people and displaced millions of Ukrainians, and has no end in sight.
