"Russia brought war to others, and now it is coming home," Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said last night, APA reports citing BBC.
In his regular evening address yesterday, Zelenskyy said it was "only fair to destroy Russian terrorists where they are, where they launch their strikes from".
"We see how useful this can be for bringing peace closer. Russia must be forced into peace if Putin wants to continue waging war so badly,” he added.
Zelenskyy said he had been briefed by Commander-in-Chief Olesksandr Syrskyy on "the operation in Kursk Region", and that 1,000 sq km of Russian territory was now under Ukrainian control.
The remarks by Syrskyy and Zelenskyy were the first time that any senior Ukrainian official had explicitly mentioned the Kursk incursion by name.
