Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has told NBC News that Ukraine intends to hold Russian territory captured during its multi-week incursion into the Kursk Oblast "indefinitely", as it tries to force Russia into negotiations to end the war.

  • NBC reports that Zelenskyy said: "We don’t need their land. We don’t want to bring our Ukrainian way of life there," but Ukraine will hold the territory as it is integral to his “victory plan” to end the war. Zelenskyy said: “For now, we need it,” adding that he will present the proposal to international partners like the United States."
  • Zelenskyy added in the interview that he couldn't discuss whether Ukraine plans to try and seize more Russian territory and confirmed again that the Biden administration was not aware of the operation, as it was kept as a close-guarded secret even inside Ukraine.
  • Zelenskyy's comments come as the war endures a period of intense fighting on the eastern front that could re-shape the battlefield ahead of an expected lull during the autumn and winter.
  • The New York Times notes that the death toll in the Ukrainian town of Poltava, from a Russian ballistic missile attack earlier today, "has climbed to 51, according to Ukraine’s prosecutor general’s office," making it one of the deadliest attacks of the war.
