Zelenskiy visits Sumy region, bordering Russia's Kursk region

(Reuters) - President Volodymyr Zelenskiy on Thursday visited Ukraine's northern Sumy region across the border from Russia's Kursk region, where Kyiv's troops still hold small swathes of land.

"We are working to protect our positions. We are aware of what the enemy is counting on. In any case, we will protect our state, our independence, our people," Zelenskiy said in a video address.
