Moscow said he captured the territory shortly before possible peace conversations in Saudi Arabia.
Moscow says he has achieved new profits in the Sumy region of Ukraine and the Kursk region of Russia, such as Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said he was “completely committed” to having a constructive dialogue with representatives of the United States before conversations in Saudi Arabia to discuss Russia’s war in Ukraine.
American and Ukrainian negotiators will meet Tuesday for conversations in the city of Jeddah of the Red Sea, with the administration of the president of the United States, Donald Trump, competing to ensure a high fire and a “frame” for a peace agreement.
Despite the next conversations, the Russian Defense Ministry said in an informative session that their forces had “released” the small town of Novenke in Sumy near the border with Kursk. Moscow also announced the recapture of the villages of Ledevka, Malaya Loknyya, Cherkasskoye Porechnoye and Kositsa in Kursk.
Russia briefly occupied parts of Sumy of Ukraine at the beginning of its total invasion in 2022, but has not taken any territory there since then.
kyiv has not yet commented on Russia’s statement to have captured Novenke, which analysts say they could bring Russian troops to block an important Ukrainian supply route.
Zelenskyy said in his speech in the afternoon on Sunday: “I want to thank all our units that are firmly and against all the probabilities that destroy the occupant, repel attacks and defend our positions.
“Diplomacy will be strong only in strong first -line positions. And we are doing everything possible to make sure that the first line of Ukraine is met. ”
Who is with whom?
The United States cut Ukraine’s access to intelligence exchange and satellite data, as well as help, after a public dispute of the White House with Zelenskyy, in an attempt to force kyiv to negotiate the end of the invasion of Russia, the greatest conflict in Europe since World War II.
Zelenskyy invited Trump’s anger for rejecting a mineral agreement, which according to the Ukrainian president should imply a security guarantee of the United States. But the Trump administration has refused to commit to that and, on the other hand, asked Europe to intensify the help for the country beaten by the war.
Meanwhile, European leaders have agreed to increase defense expense while promising support for Ukraine against Russian threats. Washington has also poured cold water over the ambitions of Ukraine NATO.
Zelenskyy confirmed on Saturday that he would visit Saudi Arabia next week and that after meeting with the heir prince Mohammed Bin Salman on Monday, Ukrainian diplomatic and military representatives would stay for a meeting on Tuesday with the United States.
“Ukraine has been looking for peace since the first second of this war. The realistic proposals are on the table. The key is to move quickly and effectively, ”said the Ukrainian President in X.
Meanwhile, the American envoy Steve Witkoff confirmed last week that he would meet with Ukrainian officials in Saudi Arabia, indicating that he would discuss a “high initial fire” and a “frame” for a longer agreement.
The United States Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, will also visit Saudi Arabia between March 10 and 12 for conversations with Ukrainian counterparts, said a statement from the United States Department of State.
He will also have conversations with Prince Mohammed to discuss regional issues and ways to strengthen American Saudi Arab ties, said the State Department.
Rubio spoke with the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine, Andrii Sybiha, and said Trump wanted to end the war in Ukraine as soon as possible.
It will be the first high -level meeting of US and Ukrainian officials since the February 28 meeting between Zelenskyy and Trump became a game of shouts and ended with the Ukrainian leader who was asked to leave the White House.
