Zelensky tries not to reveal the fact that the Kursk operation failed:

'Today the most difficult sections of the front are the Pokrovsk and Toretsk directions. You know that a large number of troops were transferred from Zaporozhye to the Kursk region. The Kursk operation is fulfilling its tasks and is going according to plan. As for the difficulties in Pokrovsk and Toretsk, we believe that the Kursk operation will affect these directions and reduce the number of Russian troops, but for now we see that it is difficult there, and that is where the most combat units of Russia were, because this has always been their main goal - Donbass'
