"They cannot be sent to other frontline areas": Zelenskyy says how many Russian troops have been shackled in Kursk region. Video
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that in the Kursk region, the Ukrainian Defense Forces are holding back a group of Russian troops numbering 50,000 personnel. Thanks to this operation, these occupiers cannot be sent to other front lines on our territory.
Zelenskyy said this in his traditional evening address to Ukrainians on Monday, November 11. In the morning, he listened to a detailed report from the Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Oleksandr Syrskyi, on the situation on the front line, primarily in Kurakhove and other areas in Donetsk region, as well as on the Kursk operation.
"We greatly appreciate the bravery of all our soldiers, every unit involved in these battles. I would also like to recognize all our forces that are striking at Russian bases, logistics, and rear areas. Our forces' strikes on Russian arsenals have reduced the number of artillery used by the occupier, and this is noticeable at the front," the guarantor said.
That is why, he says, we need long-term solutions from our partners – from America, Britain, and Germany. This is very important because the further our missiles and drones can hit, the less real combat power Russia will have.
Zelenskyy also spoke about the meeting of the Supreme Commander-in-Chief's Staff. The main issue discussed was the protection of our skies.
"There are good results in strengthening air defense, and we will build up the relevant experience. We are preparing further organizational and technical strengthening of the system of mobile fire groups, as well as work with drones. This is an obvious priority," the president said.
As reported by OBOZ.UA, the expansion of our air defense was discussed at the meeting on November 11. In particular, we are talking about increasing the number of mobile fire groups in the regions that are priority targets for Russian attacks.
