Ukrainian Forces Push Further into Russian Territory
Cross-Border Incursion Marks Third Significant Ground Assault
Ukrainian troops have pushed further into the Kursk region of Russia in a cross-border incursion, marking the third significant Ukrainian ground assault on Russian territory.
The incursion, which began on Tuesday, has seen Ukrainian forces penetrate several miles into Russia's Kursk region, according to reports. Russian President Vladimir Putin has declared a federal-level emergency in the region, and Russian forces have been battling Ukrainian troops for a third day.
The raid follows several incursions by Russian nationals fighting for Ukraine who briefly raided Kursk. However, this is the first time that Ukrainian forces have launched a large-scale ground assault on Russian territory.
The incursion is a sign of the growing confidence of the Ukrainian military, which has been pushing back against Russian forces in recent weeks. It is also a sign of the growing desperation of the Russian military, which is struggling to contain the Ukrainian advance.
The incursion is likely to further escalate tensions between Russia and Ukraine, and it could lead to a wider conflict.
