Russian President Vladimir Putin stated on Thursday that Moscow’s primary goal in Ukraine is to capture the eastern Donbas region, claiming recent Ukrainian actions in Kursk have expedited Russian advances. Putin argued that Ukraine's push into Kursk, which aimed to distract Russian forces, has actually accelerated Moscow’s offensive in the Donbas. Despite setbacks, he asserted that Russian troops are making progress, nearing key logistics hubs. Meanwhile, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky emphasized Ukraine’s commitment to holding its ground and suggested a readiness for negotiations, albeit under specific conditions.
