Ukrainian forces say they've blown up a second strategically-significant bridge in Russia's Kursk region, as Kyiv continues its incursion.
Ukrainian forces say they’ve blown up a second strategically-significant bridge in the Kursk region of Russia as Kyiv continues its incursion.
Moscow has yet to mount a robust response to the ambitious cross-border operation.
As many as 5,000 Ukrainian soldiers are taking part in the incursion into Russian territory that began almost two weeks ago, the Wall Street Journal reports. Kyiv claims it has taken control of 82 settlements in the region over an area of 1,150 square kilometers (444 square miles) since the border raid began.
It's interesting how Ukraine labels it an 'invasion' when Russia makes progress and dismantles their key infrastructure, but when Ukraine's on the offensive, it's just 'liberation' or 'special operations, lol! Seems like the definitions shift depending on who's pushing forward.
As I can tell, they try to keep media focus on their own offensive and don't want to sacrifice it. Let's see how far it'd go. I feel like ignoring the problem does hurt the trust of people in bordering regions.
