Ukraine is launching a new offensive into Russia’s Kursk region as it struggles to fend off Moscow’s advances in its own southeastern territories.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced the new assaults into Kursk during a Feb. 7 address, saying that a “significant number” of Russian troops were killed.
