Ukrainian troops and armored fighting vehicles crossed into Russia’s western Kursk region on Tuesday, marking one of the largest Ukrainian incursions onto Russian soil in over two years of war. The assault has led to intense fighting, with images from the battlefield verified by independent analysts and Russian statements confirming the clashes.
Videos showed Ukrainian armored vehicles being struck several miles inside Russia, and Moscow reported deploying troops and fighter jets to respond. General Valery Gerasimov, the commander of Russian forces in Ukraine, stated that the Ukrainian advance had been halted by Tuesday evening. However, pro-Kremlin military bloggers reported that Ukrainian forces had captured several settlements near the border.
