At least 1,000 Ukrainian troops, supported by tanks and armoured vehicles, crossed the border on Tuesday, Russia has said.
Some 3,000 people have had to evacuate the region, as ongoing military altercations have killed at least four people, Kursk's deputy Governor Andrei Belostotsky said.
Ukraine's military is yet to directly comment on the reports, but President Volodymyr Zelensky said, without referencing the assault: “Everyone can see that the Ukrainian army knows how to surprise [and] achieve results.”

Maybe hold a referendum on Ukrainian sovereignty in Kursk.

I have no idea how Ukraine is still going in Kursk or how long it will last, but do be aware that Russia already said they were “stopped” before they (we now know) continued to advance. It’s not even worth reporting a word that comes from Russian officials.

Another of dozens of humiliations of Russia by Ukraine.
