Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy visited the Sumy region's border areas after Ukrainian forces launched an offensive into Russia’s Kursk region earlier this month. The incursion, which began on August 6, resulted in Ukraine capturing dozens of settlements and taking hundreds of prisoners. Zelenskyy met with military leaders, discussing the operational situation and the impact of the Kursk operation, which has reduced shelling in Sumy. Meanwhile, Ukrainian forces face ongoing challenges in the Donbas region, where Russian troops are making gains. Russian President Vladimir Putin has promised a strong response to the Kursk incursion.
