- Ukraine's General Staff disputed Russia's claim Saturday, stating their forces continue defensive operations and hold positions in the Kursk sector.
- Reports indicated 10,000 to 12,000 North Korean troops were sent to fight in Russia, while Putin claimed Kyiv's incursion "completely failed."
- If Russia's claim holds true, Ukraine loses a potential bargaining chip for peace talks and Moscow gains a symbolic victory.
