Ukraine seizes nearly 400 square miles in Russia’s Kursk region: top commander

Ukraine’s top military commander says his forces are now in control of nearly 400 square miles in the Kursk border region, while an embarrassed Vladimir Putin vowed to “kick the enemy out.”

Gen. Oleksandr Syrskyi announced the progress in Kursk Monday in a video posted on social media by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy — the first time Kyiv has commented on the days-long fighting on Russian soil.

“The troops are fulfilling their tasks,” Syrskyi said. “Fighting continues actually along the entire front line. The situation is under our control.”

Zelenskyy praised Syrskyi and his troops “for their steadfastness and decisive actions” in Kursk, where the Ukrainian army has reportedly seized dozens of Russian villages in the surprise cross-border incursion that has left Putin scrambling to respond.

Aleksey Smirnov, the acting chief of the Kursk region, told the Kremlin that at least 28 settlements have been captured by Ukraine, with their forces now operating as deep as 7.5 miles into Russia.

Putin, who condemned the attack that began on Aug. 6, suggested the assault was a means for Ukraine to gain leverage in possible peace talks.

“But what kind of negotiations can we even talk about with people who indiscriminately strike at civilians, at civilian infrastructure, or try to create threats to nuclear power facilities. What can we even talk about with them?” Putin told his defense officials on Monday.

The Russian president’s claims could not be independently verified.

“It’s obvious that the enemy will keep trying to destabilize the situation in the border zone to try to destabilize the domestic political situation in our country,” Putin said, vowing to “kick the enemy out” of Russia. --->READ MORE HERE
