Zelenskyy visits Sumy region
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has toured the northeastern Ukrainian region of Sumy on Thursday in his first visit since Kyiv’s forces entered Russian territory.
Zelenskyy said Ukrainian forces had claimed control of another settlement in the Russian region of Kursk and taken more Russian prisoners of war.
“Another settlement in the Kursk region is now under Ukrainian control, and we have replenished the exchange fund,” Zelenskyy wrote on the social media platform X, formerly Twitter after hearing a report from the military commander, Colonel General Oleksandr Syrskyi.
The Ukrainian president hopes Kyiv can exchange the detainees for captured Ukrainians.
