Turin, March 14 (LaPresse) – "Reports of the alleged encirclement of Ukrainian units by the enemy in the Kursk region are not true and have been fabricated by the Russians for political purposes and to pressure Ukraine and its partners."

This was stated by the General Staff of the Ukrainian army, as cited by RBC-Ukraine, in response to statements made by Donald Trump.

"Our soldiers are repelling enemy offensive actions and inflicting effective fire damage using all types of weapons. Since the beginning of the day, there have been 13 clashes in the Kursk direction. There is no threat of our units being encircled," the General Staff of the Ukrainian army added.
