Russia says its forces are close to recapturing the Kursk region in Ukraine, as US negotiators head to Moscow to propose a ceasefire. The Russian Defense Ministry stated that its troops were pounding remaining Ukrainian positions after capturing three more settlements, including the town of Sudzha. President Vladimir Putin visited Kursk and ordered his commanders to swiftly finish the job. The renewed Russian military push comes as the US lifts its suspension of military aid for Ukraine and presses Moscow to agree to the ceasefire proposal.
