Russian President Vladimir Putin made a surprise visit to the Kursk region, dressed in military fatigues, where he ordered his forces to swiftly defeat Ukrainian troops still present in the area. His visit comes as the U.S. urges Russia to consider a 30-day ceasefire, which Ukraine has already agreed to. However, Putin appears determined to press forward with military gains, emphasizing the need to fully reclaim Kursk and potentially establish a buffer zone in Ukraine’s Sumy region. The Kremlin is reportedly close to ejecting Ukrainian forces from the area, while Ukraine vows to continue fighting. The situation raises questions about whether Russia will accept a ceasefire or push for its own terms.
