Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says Ukraine will exchange the territory of Russia's Kursk Oblast currently controlled by the Armed Forces of Ukraine for Russian-occupied Ukrainian territories during potential negotiations.
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy declared martial law early on Feb. 24, 2022, under Kyiv skies still tinged black by the smoke from Russian missile strikes.

"We have not observed them in our part of the front," a spokesperson for the 80th Air Assault Brigade said.
Amid tensions between NATO allies, with several European members at odds with Washington’s perspective, the Danish Defence Intelligence Service (DDIS) released a report on Tuesday warning that Russia could launch a war with “one or more European NATO countries if it perceives NATO as militarily weakened or politically divided”.
