Trump has to wait until the fall of Kursk. It is going to happen within a month but Ukraine has not stopped fighting yet. Trump described Ukrainian defensive positions around Kursk as a “cauldron”. There are only a few villages or settlements to take back from Ukraine as it was
reported a week ago. Until that time, Putin is still buying time.
MOSCOW, April 8 (Reuters) - Russia is close to regaining full control of its western Kursk region after pushing Ukrainian forces from one of their last footholds there, the regional governor and state media said on Tuesday.
Russia's Defence Ministry released video of what it said was the recapture of the settlement of Guyevo set to dramatic music, showing smoke rising into the air from various buildings, a soldier waving the Russian flag from the window of a heavily damaged Orthodox church, and Russian troops carrying out house-to-house checks in case any Ukrainian soldiers were hiding.
