(Bloomberg) -- Ukrainian forces are continuing to fight in Russia’s Kursk region and have advanced in some areas by as much as three kilometers (1.9 miles), Ukrainian Army Chief Oleksandr Syrskyi told President Volodymyr Zelenskiy in a video posted on the president’s Telegram on Friday.
The operation in Kursk proceeded as planned, Syrskyi said, adding the Ukrainian army expects to take more Russian soldiers prisoner in Malaya Loknyato to be exchanged for captured Ukrainian troops.
