“I visited our soldiers participating in the Kursk operation – the 82nd brigade. I awarded them state awards. I am proud of the courage of all our guys, our soldiers! And it is very important to understand that the Kursk operation is a really strategic thing, something that adds motivation to partners, adds motivation to be with Ukraine, to be more decisive and to put pressure on Russia – to put pressure in a way that can help us end the war in a fair way,” Zelensky stressed.
