President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy informed Polish media about this in an interview.

"By the way, on the Kursk front, all the world’s intelligence agencies will tell you: Russia has lost 30,000-35,000. Imagine being willing to sacrifice 30,000 of your people’s lives just to pressure us for five months without any result," Zelenskyy noted.

At the same time, he emphasized that such Russian losses on the Kursk front did not happen "for no reason."

"The long-range firepower delivered results," added the President of Ukraine.

  • Servicemen of the 67th Separate Mechanized Brigade shared information about Russian attacks on the border of Ukraine with the Kursk region.
