Ukraine\u2019s operation in Russia\u2019s Kursk region is part of a broader military, political and diplomatic effort aimed at making Russia accept a \u201cfair peace,\u201d said President Volodymyr Zelenskiy.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cEverything we do is for the purpose of forcing Russia be ready for fair peace,\u201d Zelenskiy told Indian journalists in Kyiv on Sunday, according to his Telegram. Ukraine took under its control two more settlements in Kursk region, he said in a daily video statement.<\/p>\n

Ukraine\u2019s leader also discussed with the visiting media Ukraine\u2019s planned second peace summit, his\u00a0meeting with\u00a0<\/a>Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday, and Kyiv\u2019s hoped-for integration into the European Union.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Ukrainian forces launched a surprise incursion into Russia\u2019s Kursk region this month. On Saturday, Zelenskiy said the move was done to protect the northeastern Sumy region and to capture Russian soldiers who could be used for\u00a0prisoner-of-war<\/a>\u00a0swaps.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Putin on Saturday night received reports from at least five commanders involved in combat missions in Russian territories bordering Ukraine, the Kremlin said on Sunday.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Ukrainian forces claim to have control of more than 1,250 square kilometers (483 square miles) of territory in the first foreign military offensive inside Russia since World War II.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In an operational update, Russia\u2019s defense ministry said its troops continue to repel Ukrainian efforts in several settlements in the Kursk region, from which thousands of residents have fled in recent weeks.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cReconnaissance and search operations continue to identify and destroy enemy sabotage groups in forested areas that were attempting to penetrate deep into Russian territory,\u201d the ministry said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Kremlin on Saturday released video of Putin meeting with Valery Gerasimov, chief of the Russian Armed Forces General Staff. It was unclear when the meeting took place. \u00a0<\/p>\n

Ukrainian intelligence also observed a significant concentration of Belarusian military personnel, artillery and air defense in its Gomel region near Ukraine\u2019s northern border under the disguise of military drill, Ukrainian Foreign Ministry said in emailed statement.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Ukraine urged Belarus to avoid \u201ctragic mistakes under Moscow\u2019s pressure\u201d and withdraw the forces to a distance unreachable for Belarusian systems.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
