Russian forces have reportedly regained control of key locations in the Kursk region, including Sudzha, Zaoleshenka, and Rubanschina, following intense battles with Ukrainian troops. Moscow claims Ukrainian forces in the area are now encircled, urging them to surrender.
However, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky denies these reports, calling them Russian propaganda. Fighting continues, with both sides conducting airstrikes and sustaining casualties. Diplomatic efforts remain stalled, and the possibility of a ceasefire appears uncertain as hostilities escalate.
