Zelenskyy visits border area for first time since Ukraine’s incursion in Russia’s Kursk region

Kyiv: Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy visited the northeastern border region of Sumy on Thursday, marking his first visit to the bordering area since his forces launched a large-scale incursion in Russia’s Kursk region over two weeks ago. Zelenskyy said his forces have claimed control of another settlement in the Russian region of Kursk and taken more Russian prisoners of war whom he hopes to exchange for captured Ukrainians.
