3mZelenskyy confirms Ukraine’s offensive inside Russia’s Kursk region
The Kursk region of Russia is no stranger to war. Some of the fiercest battles of World War Two were fought on its dark soil. President Zelensky has confirmed for the first time that it is the Ukrainian military advancing there.
It appears the incursion by Ukraine is aimed at destabilising Putin and his military command. For its part Russia is promising a “tough response” to an incursion it says makes “no sense” from a military point of view.
