Ukraine's military 'preserving maximum of lives of our soldiers' in Kursk Oblast, Zelensky says

Ukrainian troops operating in Russia’s Kursk Oblast continue in their tasks despite intense Russian pressure, President Volodymyr Zelensky said during a briefing on March 12. “The military command is doing what it should do, preserving the maximum of lives of our soldiers,” Zelensky said, urging a "sober" assessment of the battlefield situation rather than reacting to Russian information warfare. His remarks come as multiple Ukrainian and Russian sources claimed that Russian troops had entered Sudzha, a key Ukrainian-held stronghold in the Russian border region of Kursk.
