Heavy fighting in Russia’s Kursk region has entered a third day, with efforts “ongoing” to expel Ukrainian forces from the country, Moscow’s defence ministry has said.
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.”

Russia is now in the process of joining , NATO,sadc and Au for protection
It's already old News
So stupid… What for?
В США обвалился рынок акций и тут же Украинцы захватывают газовую станцую под Суджей. Цены на СПГ взлетают США в плюсе, так что не надо говорить что это украинская операция, когда все эти военные были подготовлены в НАТО. Прокси война шайки НАТО против России руками украинцев, поляков, французов и грузинского легиона. Но эти террористы, русофобы и бандеровцы либо умрут на русской земле, либо попадут в плен и ответят за свои преступления. Курской и Белгородской области стойкости, берегите родных и близких.
Blah 😡. It's only kursk 😡. What's next 😡
THE KIEV REGIME IS UNRAVELING BEFORE OUR VERY EYES
The edifice of lies, corruption and criminality that is the Kiev regime, along with their unholy western sponsors… is about to collapse in ignominy.
With the harebrained Kursk operation we are seeing the latest and very probably last desperate attempt of Zelensky’s minions to stay relevant. It has very much the look of a slow-motion suicide about it. Multiple expert commentators across the western world are remarking upon the folly involved, many pointing out the complete lack of any strategic or tactical goal of any importance within this act of desperation.
To send forces into a small portion of the Russian Federation when you are being beaten hollow elsewhere, ultimately to be surrounded and beaten back with major losses makes no operational, tactical or strategic sense. It is an exercise in complete futility, throwing away lives and military machines with no significant benefit. The only target of any significance is the nuclear power plant in the Kursk region which was always going to be out of reach to the relatively puny force sent in.
Now, with the only possible goal of any merit being unattained, the purpose of staying in position or attempting to move further is simply compounding an already dire situation. Russian forces sent to the Kursk region are now closing in on the remaining Ukrainian forces and their mercenary sidekicks. Just a few days into Kiev’s brain-addled operation already more than one thousand of the incursion force is dead or wounded. Many more are destined to add to this total the longer this misbegotten op continues.
The Kiev regime is running out of hapless young and old men to grab off the street and force to the front lines. It is losing, on average, some 60,000 of its troops per month to the better equipped, better resourced and better trained Russians. Obviously this is unsustainable. The days when Ukrainians volunteered with foolish enthusiasm to join the fight are long gone. Now they rush with all the energy they can muster toward the borders of Ukraine hoping to escape their certain fate, to be sent to their deaths with a minimum of training.
The baleful state of the Ukrainian army, facing an extremely battle-hardened and determined Russian army has begun to show with utmost clarity over the last few weeks. Russian territorial gains have been quickening in the number of villages liberated from Ukrainian troops more likely to run away than stand and fight. More and more are making the wise decision to surrender. Meanwhile back in western Ukraine hundreds of vehicles used by the hated security forces who grab men off the street and send them to the front, have been torched. And the number of street protests against this lost war are mounting.
Ever since it became clear that the economic and financial sanctions against Russia mounted by the western powers had failed and had indeed been counterproductive (economic growth in Russia appears unstoppable) it was clear that the Kiev regime was doomed along with their unfortunate army. Now, at this stage with Russia pushing relentlessly forward meeting ever-lessening resistance the regime is reduced to even greater levels of public relations gimmickry and theatrical displays bringing them nothing but obsequious and soon redundant western mainstream headlines.
Zelensky has been able to play western populations like a fiddle up to quite recently, aided to the hilt by a western mass media that has been 100% compliant in channel every lie he has spoken as if it was Holy Writ. Zelensky has been compared to Winston Churchill and feted across Europe as a hero. Unfortunately for him however western audiences that fell for such twaddle have increasingly realized how they were mercilessly deceived by those they trusted to provide their news and are extremely angry to have been so brazenly misled.
Multiple power plays have been seen occurring within the corrupt hierarchy of Zelensky’s court. Intrigue and murder feature as keynote signs that the facade of probity so desperately manufactured to dupe western populations is fast crumbling. The ridiculous assertion concerning Ukraine as a ‘democratic nation’ when its president has banned all opposition and all media that might support it is sounding increasingly hollow. The corruption at the heart of Kiev is being exposed for all to see.
Zelensky’s days as Ukraine’s president without a mandate (presidential elections should have been held months ago) are surely numbered. As soon as the penny drops sufficiently across the collective west that he is a certain loser he is certain to be persona non grata, an embarrassment to those who once lauded him in order to deceive their populations. Already mentions of his name are fewer and fewer, not only among western populations but even more obviously across western mass media. Soon he (and Ukraine) will enter the same memory hole that Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria and Libya were delivered into by western media after the West lost so publicly.
A great silence is about to befall almost everything to do with Ukraine. The ‘next big thing’, China will consume news anchors and newspaper/internet headlines very soon after the latest distraction, Iran. All that happened in Ukraine will move quickly to a couple of paragraphs on the equivalent of the sixth page of the NYT before getting lost entirely. Only those of us who have followed this regime change gone wrong insanity from the beginning will retain anything of significance from this most egregious, murderous and unholy western elite failures.

The Russian words for karma and boomerang are the same as in English and many other languages.
Occupying Russian-held territory as a counter-move by Ukraine involves significant risks and potential benefits: In short, with strong allied support, Ukraine could use the occupation of Russian territory as leverage in negotiations, potentially putting significant pressure on Russia. Allies can enhance Ukraine's military capabilities and increase diplomatic pressure on Russia. However, this approach also risks escalating the conflict and provoking a severe Russian response.
Potential Benefits:
1. Strategic Advantage: Gaining territory can provide a stronger negotiating position in any potential peace talks.
2. Morale Boost: Success on the battlefield can enhance national morale and international support.
Risks and Challenges:
1. Escalation: Aggressive moves might escalate the conflict and lead to increased Russian retaliation.
2. Humanitarian Impact: Occupation and warfare can result in civilian casualties and displacement, complicating humanitarian efforts.
3. International Reactions: Such actions might provoke negative responses from the international community and impact diplomatic relations.
Strategic Considerations:
1. Objectives: Any move to occupy territory should align with clear military and political objectives.
2. Diplomatic Context: Coordinating with allies and understanding the broader diplomatic landscape is crucial to mitigate negative repercussions.
3. Long-Term Stability: Ensuring that any newly occupied territory can be sustainably managed and integrated is vital for long-term success.
In summary, while occupying Russian-held territory might offer tactical advantages, it must be carefully weighed against the risks and broader strategic goals.

Now the invaded, invade!! Kursk is seeing armoured warfare once again…
Not ukraine, say it nato armies
UK is a Natzi state
Losers…
Awww. The poor Russians complaining about an aggressive Ukrainian incursion into their territory. New heights of hypocrisy me thinks.
I don't know, the Belarusian-Ukrainian border is suddenly strangely boiling and escalating. It looks like a plan. Could it be that Medvedev knows what he is talking about when he talks about an extraterritorial strike in Ukraine and continuation throughout Ukraine? I think that Zelensky's puppeteers from Britain have fallen for the bacon. Lukashenko withdrew troops, which made the British happy, and withdrew Ukrainian troops from the border with Belarus, and they were already rubbing their hands at how Putin would easily heat up at Kursk. Well, and now, when Zelensky's withdrawn troops under British command are rotting near Kursk, Lukashenko feels attacked by Ukrainian drones and threatens a retaliatory strike on Kyiv. There is a void without much counterforce, which is surrounded near Kursk. Britum's balls stand on end at the unprecedented mistake they have made. Will British-Ukrainian diarrhoea follow? 🤣
Já nevím, na Běloruskoukrajinské hranici to najednou podivuhodně vře a eskaluje. Vypadá to na plán. Že by Medvěděv věděl o čem mluví, když mluvi o extrateritorialním úderu na Ukrajině a pokračování po celé Ukrajině ? Si myslím, že Zelenského loutkaři z Británie skočili na špek. Lukašenko stáhl vojska, čimž se Britové zaradovali, a stáhli Ukrajinská vojska z hranic s Běloruskem, a už si mnuli ruce jak Putinovi snadno zatopí u Kurska. No, a teť, když stažené Zelenského jednotky pod Britským velením hnijí u Kurska, Lukašenko se cítí napaden ukrajinskými drony a vyhrožuje odvetným úderem na Kyjev. Tam je prázdno bez větší protisíly, která se nachází u Kurska v obklíčení. Britum se ježí chlupy na koulích z bezprecedentní chyby, kterou způsobili. Bude následovat Britskoukrajinský průjem ?🤣
We know all of the things that this Russian proporgander is playing down…why is the BBC employing him? More terrible journalism from the BBC
