Zelensky said- Ukrainian army is advancing 2-3 km every day
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said on Wednesday that Ukrainian forces are advancing 2 to 3 km into Russian territory every day. We have achieved a very strong position in Kursk. He also said that the Ukrainian army has shot down a Russian SU-34 jet in Kursk.

Zelensky claimed on Tuesday that Ukraine has captured 74 Russian villages. Along with this, 100 Russian soldiers have also been taken hostage. Ukraine claims that it has carried out a major drone attack on 4 Russian airbases (Voronezh, Kursk, Savasleka and Borisoglebsk).

2 lakh Russian people left their homes
On Wednesday, the Ukrainian Air Force claimed that it had shot down 17 Russian drones. According to the BBC, after Ukraine’s sudden attack, 2 lakh Russian citizens have been forced to flee from their homes. They have been sent to safe places.

Ukraine launched an attack on Russia’s Kursk region on 6 August. It captured 1000 square km of territory by 13 August. According to the New York Times, this is the first time since the Second World War that a country has intruded into Russia’s border.

According to CNN, Ukraine has captured as much territory in just 7 days as Russia has captured this year. According to the US-based Institute for the Study of War (ISW), Russia has captured 1,175 square kilometers of Ukrainian territory in 2024.

Russia claims to have killed 2,300 Ukrainian soldiers
Russia has occupied 1 lakh square km of Ukraine’s territory in the two and a half years since the war began. This is 18% of Ukraine’s total land. Meanwhile, Russia has claimed that 2,300 of its soldiers have been killed in this action of Ukraine. 37 of its tanks and many military vans have been destroyed.

Putin held a meeting with local leaders and officials in Kursk on Monday. He described the Ukrainian attack as a provocative act. He has ordered his defense officials to expel the Ukrainian army from Russian territory.

The attack was planned 3 days ago, the soldiers came to know about it 1 day before
According to the New York Times, Ukraine kept preparations for its operation extremely secret. They hid heavy weapons among the dense summer foliage in oak and maple forests. Military activities were concealed in mock training exercises.

Lieutenant Colonel Artem, a deputy Ukrainian brigade commander, said that three days before the attack, officers announced at a meeting on the side of a road in the forest that they would invade Russia. The soldiers learned this information only a day before. Officers did not take the soldiers’ phones because they trusted them to keep it secret.
