In addition, the Russian military losses amounted to several dozen people. The rest of the Russian soldiers left the battlefield.

During the Kursk operation, Ukrainian forces captured two more settlements on the territory of the aggressor state.

On September 14, it became known that Ukrainian troops successfully broke through the Russian defense on another section of the border in the Kursk region and penetrated several kilometers into Russian territory.

According to President Zelensky, Ukraine anticipated the actions of the Russians in the Kursk region. He also noted that the Russians began counteroffensive actions, implementing the Ukrainian plan.

Vladimir Putin ordered the expulsion of the Ukrainian army from the Kursk region of the Russian Federation by October 1.
