“For Putin, the most important thing is to oust us from the Kursk region. And all these stories, all these demonstrative strikes with new missiles – all this is not for nothing. He set this task. I am sure that he wants to oust us by January 20 next year. For him, it is very it is important to demonstrate that he controls a situation that he does not control,” Zelenskyy said.
The president emphasized that Ukraine’s operation in the Kursk region demonstrated Moscow’s inability to defend its own territories, as all resources were directed at the occupation of Ukrainian lands.
“And that is why the most difficult situation is where it has to be held, the most difficult situation is in Donbas, in the east of our country. He (Putin — ed.) wants to show that he will fulfill, as he said, the tasks of the so-called “special military operation”, occupy the whole of Donbas, and he needs to push us out of the Kursk area. That is why he has these two tasks: the difficulties in the east. Yes, there is an insufficient number of armed forces. Yes, there is an understaffing of Ukrainian units due to various reasons, including the slow delivery of aid,” he said.
Zelensky noted that the most important thing is that the Ukrainian Defense Forces are present in the Kursk region and continue to defend their Motherland.
According to him, the Russian army will suffer significant losses in this direction, which had not happened before. In addition, he reported that, according to the intercepted data, Putin transmits personal requests through the command, stressing that the success of the so-called “svo” depends on the results of the Kursk operation.
