Russian strikes from Kursk region deserved 'fair' response, says Zelenskyy

He said Russia deserved a "fair" response after it launched nearly 2,000 cross-border strikes at Ukraine's Sumy region over the summer.

"Artillery, mortars, drones. We also record missile strikes, and each such strike deserves a fair response," he said.

Reports have suggested that as many as 6,000 troops have crossed the border, and Ukrainian media outlets suggested today that Kyiv's forces have also entered Russia's Belgorod region.

Now six days into the invasion, US -based thinktank The Institute for the Study of War has said Ukrainian forces are largely holding their position in the Sudzha area of Kursk.
