Ukrainian Troops Advance 30 Km Into Russia
Over 1,000 Ukrainian troops have advanced 30 kilometers into Russian territory from Sumy Oblast to Kursk Oblast. This significant development in the ongoing war has led Russia to declare a federal emergency and scramble troops. The U.S. is seeking more information but maintains its policy stance.
Over 1,000 Ukrainian ground and mechanized troops have crossed the international border, advancing over 30 kilometers into Russian territory from the Sumy Oblast region of north-east Ukraine to Kursk Oblast in Russia.
This rapid advance, as tracked by the Institute for Study of War (ISW) through open-source videos and pictures, marks one of the most significant developments since the war began in February 2022.
Russia has declared a 'federal emergency' and is scrambling troops, including Chechen 'Akhmat' units, to counter the incursion.
Ukrainian drones have also targeted residential buildings in the border regions of Kursk, Voronezh, and Belgorod.
The situation follows Russia’s artillery strikes on a supermarket in Eastern Ukraine's Kostyantynivka, killing ten people and wounding 35.
The U.S. has reached out to Ukraine for more information but maintains its current policy stance.
