Quote: "Our advance in Kursk Oblast is going well today – we are reaching our strategic goal. Our stock of prisoners for exchange has also been significantly replenished.

Today, I also held a meeting with members of the government – the Prime Minister, the Deputy Prime Minister and the Minister of Internal Affairs, and the Human Rights Commissioner of the Verkhovna Rada (Ukrainian Parliament) was also present – to discuss support for our military actions in Kursk Oblast. It is important that Ukraine fights by the rules, and the humanitarian needs that exist in this area must be met."

Details: Zelenskyy also thanked the servicemen of the Security Service of Ukraine, the defence forces of Ukraine, Ukraine’s Defence Intelligence and all agencies for the timely and effective strikes on Russian airfields.

Quote: "Our Ukrainian drones are working exactly as they should. But there are some things that cannot be done with drones alone, unfortunately. We need other weapons – missile weapons. And we continue working with our partners on long-range decisions for Ukraine – because these are forward-looking decisions for our victory. It has to be done."
