Ukraine confirms withdrawal from Sudzha in Russia's Kursk Oblast ・Ukraine appoints Andrii Hnatov as new chief of General Staff ・Russia readying to attack Sumy as Donbas front stabilizes, Zelensky says ・Trump-Putin phone call expected this week,

President Zelenskiy said his troops in Kursk were not surrounded, but said there might be a new Russian attack on Ukraine's northeastern Sumy region.

Ukrainian troops are still fending off Russian and North Korean forces in the Kursk region but face a potential new attack on Ukraine's northeast Sumy region, President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said on Saturday.

Ukrainian forces have pulled almost entirely out of the Kursk region of Russia, ending an offensive that had stunned the Kremlin over the summer with its speed and audacity.

The daring campaign Ukraine launched last summer to seize and occupy Russian territory appears to be nearing an end.
