On August 6, units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine went on the offensive in order to capture territory in the Kursk region. According to Valery Gerasimov, Chief of the General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces, their advance was stopped. He stressed that the operation in the Kursk region will end with the defeat of the enemy and access to the state border.
