Russia accused Ukraine on Tuesday of mounting an attack on its southern border and said it had moved in reserves to help repel hundreds of fighters backed by tanks.
Hours after a Russian regional governor said the attackers had been pushed back, the defence ministry issued a statement saying that fighting was still going on.
"Troops covering the state border, together with units of the border troops of the FSB (security service) of Russia, are repelling attacks and inflicting fire on the enemy in the area of the state border and on (Ukrainian) reserves in the Sumy region," the statement said.
It said Russia was using warplanes to strike Ukrainian armoured vehicles, and had moved its own reserves into the area of the fighting.
Ukraine's general staff, in a regular update on Tuesday, reported Russian strikes on border villages but did not mention any Ukrainian offensive operation at the border.

What reserves?
The retreat of the Chechen blocking troops today has been epic.
Ukraine just shot down a Russian attack helicopter that was sent in to help stop the incursion.

This could hint towards a lost Russian combat helicopter.
Waiting for confirmation.

I said the “latest”. Anyways, will keep you informed when the videos come out.
Did you see the videos of all the captured Russian POWs being marched across the border to Ukraine?
Update: TWO Russian attack helicopters shot down.
Nor yet, I’m watching the Ukrainians rebelling against their government right now.
