Ukrainian forces are pushing further into the Kursk region of Russia, in a cross-border incursion that surprised even American officials, multiple US and Ukrainian officials tell CNN.
Ukrainian forces are comprised of a mix of Ukrainian regular and special operations units, unlike previous Ukrainian operations inside Russia that often involved undercover units and local sympathizers.
The intention, say US and Ukrainian officials, is multifaceted, in part to disrupt and demoralize Russian forces and in part to divert Russian forces away from other parts of the eastern front.
Russia claimed on Thursday to have halted a Ukrainian incursion into its territory, but later said that some battles are ongoing in the Kursk region. According to the Russian Ministry of Defense, units of the “North” group of its forces, together with the Russian Federal Security Service, the FSB, “continue to destroy Ukrainian armed forces formations in the Sudzhensky and Korenevsky districts of the Kursk region, which are directly adjacent to the Russian-Ukrainian border.” CNN cannot independently verify these claims.
Kursk residents, who live in the Sudzhansky District, recorded a video address to Russian President Vladimir Putin on Thursday asking for his help, saying he has been misinformed about the situation on the ground and the Russian Defense Ministry’s statements about things being under control are untrue.
The address was published on a local Telegram channel that is dedicated to covering the latest news out of the town of Sudzha in Kursk region, which has been under Ukrainian attack for several days.
“These lies enable the local residents to die. The Chief of the General staff recently told you that the situation is under control, but today huge furious battles are underway in the Sudzhansky and Korenevsky districts,” one of the residents said.
“Sudzha was attacked, turned into ruins in hours."

Nor did I.
Really suspicious that you take insults against Putin so personally. Almost like you feel an affinity for him. Pretty odd for someone who is ostensibly a patriot, or so I am assuming.
Criticism of Vladimir Putin does not make one into a Chuck Schumer.
VP is a murderous psychotic pos enemy of the United States.
Chuck Schumer is a pos who can go F himself.
I don’t have to love the chaotic Shole called Russia in order to be a patriotic conservative American.
Oh come on. Half of FR was certain this war would be over in a month, and it wasn’t the ones on Ukraine’s side. Putin’s brigades on FR have been so blindsided that it isn’t funny. Your comment is pretty much gaslighting.
How about a link?
#Lukashenko on February, the 6th: If there would be war with #Ukraine, we would take it in 3-4 days!
Lukashenko 3-4 days after the start of the war with Ukraine: Please come and negotiate, we’re not getting anywhere.

If only Democrats actually cared about America and American citizens
That is crazy. Their country is being demolished, bit by bit, its population fleeing to safer environs and yet, these Western-inspired freaks and degenerates think its OK to waltz around in their clown costumes, wearing their feces-flecked, gross behaviors on their sleeves like a badge of honor. WTF?
Putin: Crossing a border with hostile intent is one of the worst things I could imagine anyone doing, unless of course it’s me, then it’s okay, actually quite good. Very good in fact. I will award myself Order of Putin. I deserve it.
and according to the Russians, HIMARS were used to destroy a column of Wagners: 100 dead and 112 wounded in clinics.

“So much for Putin’s red lines. He looks weak before the whole world.”
As Trump said, he can end the war in 24 hours. I believe Ukraine went into Russia to take land that can be exchanged for Russia returning the land it took from Ukraine.
It is a brilliant strategy and I believe Trump had a hand in this.
How about back to what they were prior to the Vicky Nuland color revolution?
Weak? He looks like a foolish leader who has no generals capable of fighting a war.
To allow the defenseless Kurst flank to be turned so easily is command failure at the highest level.
I can’t think of anything more degenerate than mocking a people who have been attacked, and are fighting to survive.
Used to be only leftists talked like that.

Or its a prelude to taking back all the rest of UKR, since the UKR is planning to run a referendum in the seized territory: stay in Russia/join UKR. Just looking out for the regional native UKR speakers - what good for the goose in good for the gender.
Ukraine sent a thousand men in.
