According to Zelensky, Russia has lost “up to a battalion” of North Korean and Russian Soldiers in the last 48 hours.
In the Kursk area of the Russian border, Ukraine has unexpectedly launched a counterattack, hitting “at least three” separate frontline points in that direction.
War trackers report that Ukrainian forces, who partially seized the area in August of last year, launched a second day of numerous attacks on Sunday on the eastern and western flank of what they already control in Kursk.
Ukraine has advanced into the southern fringes of the village of Berdin, according to the Institute for the Study of War, a US-based think tank that maps the battlefield. The most important region that Ukraine has controlled over the past five months is northeast of the city of Sudzha.
Russian military bloggers also reported fighting around Korenevo, on the other side of the attack, to the west, and towards a settlement just east of Sudzha.
Andriy Yermak, the chief advisor to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, called the attack “good news.”
On Sunday, he posted on the Telegram messaging service, saying, “Russia is getting what it deserves.”
