Zelensky: Russia Tried to Recapture Kursk Region.

The Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Oleksandr Syrsky, reported to the President on the situation on all fronts. This was announced by Volodymyr Zelensky in an evening address on October 12.

Pokrovsky direction - well done. Every soldier, every sergeant, every officer who ensures the protection of our positions.

In general, Donetsk region and Zaporizhzhia direction - these are very difficult conditions, harsh actions of the enemy. But the resilience of our units is crucial. Everything depends on our resilience. As for the Kursk operation: there were attempts by Russia to push back our positions, but we hold certain lines," Zelensky said.

The President also reported that this week Ukraine has added new arms agreements, and this is not only about deliveries - also production. "Every foreign visit is always a conversation about investments in Ukraine's industry," explained the head of state.

Earlier, the head of the Center for Counteracting Disinformation spoke about the progress of the AFU operation in the Kursk region.

As is known, Russian forces aim to push Ukrainian troops out of the Kursk region before adverse weather conditions in autumn and early winter begin to limit maneuverability on the battlefield.

Ukrainian officials previously noted that Russian troops are intensifying offensive operations in Ukraine, especially mechanized offensive operations, to take advantage of dry roads and terrain before the rainy season makes the ground swampy.

It is quite likely that this Russian operational calculation also extends to Russian efforts to reclaim the entire Kursk region. Several Russian sources reported the beginning of a period of limited swampy conditions starting on October 11.

It should be noted that Russia deployed about 50,000 troops to the Kursk region, weakening its positions on the front in Ukraine. As the event unfolded, Russian forces also intensified their efforts to reclaim the entire Kursk region. Several Russian sources reported the beginning of a period of limited swampy conditions starting on October 11.

As reported, a strong explosion occurred on October 12 in the Russian city of Kurchatov. According to preliminary data, this happened as a result of drone strikes, leading to the detonation of ammunition near the Kursk NPP.
