Intelligence agencies have supplied details to the White House stating that Ukrainian forces are not encircled in Russia’s Kursk area, contrary to assertions made by Donald Trump.
According to Reuters , citing American and European officials familiar with the intelligence, the Ukrainian forces are under pressure but are not encircled.
During last summer, Ukrainian troops rapidly pushed into Russian territory, achieving an unexpected advancement of multiple dozens of kilometers that stunned Moscow.
Recently, the US president repeated the Kremlin's statement that Ukrainian forces were encircled in Kursk, but this claim has been contradicted by intelligence agencies.
" TENS OF THOUSANDS OF UKRAINIAN SOLDIERS ARE NOW ENCIRCLED BY RUSSIAN FORCES AND FIND THEMSELVES IN A PRECARIOUS AND EXPOSED SITUATION. », wrote Trump last week on Truth Social .
He added: " I have emphatically asked President Putin to spare their lives. Such an event would constitute a terrible slaughter, unseen since World War II. May God bless them all!!! "
