Russian President Vladimir Putin told a meeting of defense and security officials broadcast on state television Monday that Ukraine’s recent incursions into the region of Kursk was an attempt to “destabilize the situation in the border zone.”

Putin added that Ukraine would receive a “worthy response,” and vowed to “dislodge” Ukrainian forces from Russian territory, insisting that Russian forces would prevail.

Russian forces are still scrambling to fight back the surprise Ukrainian incursion into the Kursk region after almost a week of fighting. More than 100,000 civilians have fled or been evacuated.

Putin also characterized the Ukrainian operation as an attempt to create public unrest and instability within Russia.

He claimed that rather than marking a military defeat, Kyiv’s offense had actually had the opposite effect by driving new recruitment into the Russian military.

Putin added that the fighting in Kursk was little more than Ukraine attempting to get leverage for future peace negotiations and that Russia’s ongoing campaign in Ukraine’s eastern region of Donbas was unaffected.
