Russia says it will take back Kursk territory captured by Ukraine in 'timely manner'

Russia said on Friday that its army would regain control of its Kursk region "in a timely manner," declining to say how soon this could be achieved.

"Our military is doing its job. They will accomplish it. Control will be restored," Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said, adding that the army would not discuss publicly how it planned to achieve that.

"The situation, of course, in those areas that are under the control of Ukrainian fighters - well, of course, it is extreme. This situation will be corrected in a timely manner," he added.
