“Ukrainian forces struck a Russian Zemledeliye remote minelaying system northeast of Stepove (roughly seven kilometers from the frontline), according to geolocated footage published on September 24.”
“Ukrainian forces struck the Lukoil-Permnefteorgsintez Oil Refinery, which has an annual processing capacity of approximately 13 million tons of oil, in Perm City, Perm Krai (roughly 1,449 kilometers from the Ukrainian border)”
The term has multiple meanings in the Russian language. Outside of political terminology, krai and oblast have a very similar general meaning ("region" or "area" in English) and can often be used interchangeably. The Russian term for a homeland is also "Krai", as seen in "Rodnoi Krai" (homeland) or "Krayevedenie" (Regional studies). When a distinction is desirable, "krai" is sometimes translated into English as "territory", (closer to "edge" in literal translation, what is more related with the March meaning as a "borderland") while "oblast" can variously be translated to "province" or "region", but both of these translations are also reasonable interpretations of "krai". The term is highly politicized, particularly since Ukraine has the term in its name, in the context of controlling Ukrainian territory by justifying it as the outskirts of a bigger nation.
The term krai or kray is derived from the Russian word for an edge, and can be translated into English as 'frontier' or 'territory'.
