Moscow's counteroffensive in Russian Kursk has been stopped, claims a spokesperson for Ukraine's military in the area.
They tried to attack from the flank, but they were stopped. The situation has stabilized and today everything is under control. They are not successful, says the spokesperson.
On Tuesday, Russia claimed to have retaken the villages of Uspenovka and Borki in Kursk, where Ukraine launched a surprise offensive in August.
Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyj recently said that the offensive in Kursk has slowed down the Russian attacks in eastern Ukraine. Russia's large-scale invasion of its neighboring country began in February 2022.
