According to a VNA correspondent in Moscow, on August 20, the Russian military said it had stopped Ukrainian attacks on settlements in Kursk province and taken control of what it described as the New York strategic logistics center in eastern Ukraine.
The Russian Defense Ministry said that reconnaissance and search operations continued to identify and destroy what Moscow called “sabotage groups” trying to penetrate deep into Russian territory. In addition, Russian warplanes also attacked areas where Ukrainian personnel and equipment were concentrated on the Ukrainian side of the border.
Meanwhile, also on August 20, speaking on national television, Commander-in-Chief of the Ukrainian Armed Forces Oleksandr Syrskyi said that the country's army had advanced 28-35km into Russia's Kursk province. However, President Volodymyr Zelensky on the same day acknowledged the "difficult" situation on Ukraine's eastern frontline, near the strategic logistics center of Pokrovsk, and also near the Toretsk region.
Ukraine launched an offensive operation in Russia's Kursk province on August 6. President Zelensky said the military operation was aimed at establishing a buffer zone to protect Ukraine's territory. However, Russian President Vladimir Putin warned that he would "respond adequately" to Ukraine's attack on the Russian border, and declared that there would be no peace talks after Kiev's new moves.
