The statement made by the dictator of the Russian Federation, Vladimir Putin, at the BRICS summit regarding the encirclement of Ukrainian troops in the Kursk region is untrue.
As reported by Ukrinform, this was stated on Facebook by the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Oleksandr Syrskyi.
“This is blatant disinformation that does not reflect the real situation. Ukrainian forces continue active operations on the Kursk front, for the third consecutive month, depleting the enemy’s combat potential. Despite intense pressure from the enemy in this direction, the occupiers are sustaining significant losses in personnel and military equipment”, said Syrskyi.
On 24 October, Russian leader Vladimir Putin claimed at a press conference following the BRICS summit that approximately 2,000 Ukrainian soldiers were allegedly encircled in Kursk Oblast. Putin asserted that Russian forces were “taking action to eliminate” the Ukrainian defenders.
