The Russians withdrew their forces from some places where we were threatened with difficulties, because we did not have enough weapons, the president noted.

The war in Ukraine continues , and the Russians have transferred about 60,000 troops to the Kursk region. The idea of ​​the Kurshchyna operation was to draw the Russian forces back to their own territory.

This was stated by President Volodymyr Zelenskyi in an interview with NBC News. “We did not increase the number of troops for the Kursk operation. There was a different idea. That is, this idea is one of the goals in the Kursk region. It is the withdrawal of Russian troops to their point, to their territory. Now I can already communicate this, because they about 60,000 have been charged there so far,” the head of state said.

According to him, the Russians withdrew their forces from some places where we were threatened with difficulties, because we did not have enough weapons. “At some point in this “hole” in the supply (of weapons), we had one to 12 weapons use. It was in the artillery that we had one shell for every 12 Russian shells. They withdrew forces from Zaporizhia Oblast, Kherson Oblast, but they did not withdraw forces from Pokrovsk Yes, it is very difficult in Pokrovsk, not one to 12, but has the number of weapons increased? – the president explained.
