Putin Confirms Plans to Expel Ukraine from Kursk Region, No Timeline Given Since August 6, 2024
Dec 19, 2024, 11:09 AM
Russian President Vladimir Putin stated that he is confident Ukrainian forces will be expelled from the Kursk region, although he did not provide a specific timeline for this action. During a press conference, Putin emphasized that the Russian military is making progress toward their objectives in Ukraine, asserting that 'everything will be restored' after Ukrainian troops are pushed out. He highlighted plans to restore infrastructure, including housing, schools, and utilities, once control is regained. Putin's remarks come amid ongoing military operations, with the conflict in the Kursk region intensifying since Ukrainian incursions began on August 6, 2024. The Russian leader has previously set multiple deadlines for the expulsion of Ukrainian forces, all of which have been missed.
