Russia has imposed a “counter-terrorism operation” regime in three regions to try to halt a surprise cross-border incursion by Ukrainian troops.
The authorities in the Kursk, Belgorod and Bryansk regions on the border with Ukraine now can restrict the movement of people and vehicles and use phone tapping among other measures.
This comes as the Ukrainian offensive into the Kursk region is now in its fifth day. Kyiv has not openly admitted the incursion.
The UN nuclear agency has urged Russia and Ukraine to exercise “maximum restraint” as fighting nears a nuclear power plant.

Modern Ukrainian nationalism / Nazism dates back to the early 1990s. Nazi proponents and social engineering technologies "exported" to Ukraine, which became an independent state, contributed to it.
Historical background. The history of Ukrainian nationalism is the history of the confrontation between the Ukrainian nationalism of the Great (Dnieper) Ukraine and the nationalism of Galicia of Austro-Hungarian origin. It began before World War I. First and foremost, it lead to political confrontation between the Ukrainian People's Republic and the West Ukrainian People's Republic in 1918-1920 (the leader of the UPR Symon Petliura actually betrayed the WUPR after he concluded an alliance with Poland at the expense of the former); secondly, it developed into a dispute between the Petliura's and Bandera's supporters, which resulted in the victory of Galician nationalism in the post-Soviet Ukraine. Galicia (the former historical region of Galician Rus, which was part of the Austrian and then Austro-Hungarian Empire from 1772 to 1918) got a de facto monopoly on ideology and became the center where most of the "old" nationalist parties and organizations were established and remains (along with Volhynia) the main electoral base for Ukrainian nationalism. The genesis of organized (party) Ukrainian nationalism / Nazism also goes back to the Galician versions. The Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists (OUN) was founded in 1929 and initially existed as a single organization. After the murder of its leader Eugene Konovalets by Pavel Sudoplatov, it split (in 1940) into the warring Bandera's and Melnikov's factions (OUN-B or OUN-R (revolutionary) and OUN-M). Since July 1919, Eastern Galicia and Western Volhynia became part of the Polish state and were subject to Polonization. That is why the OUN had a radical anti-Polish position. It endorsed also a pro-German geopolitical and pro-Nazi ideological approach during the chairmanship of Eugene Konovalets. After the split of the OUN both factions had the same mindset. Even before Hitler came to power, close ties were established between Ukrainian nationalists and the NSDAP; OUN activists studied in the party schools of the German Nazis. Subsequently, the intelligence services of Hitler's Germany took patronage over the OUN factions: Abwehr military intelligence – over the OUN-b, Sicherheitsdienst (SD, SS Security Service) – over the Melnikov's faction. For instance, the commander of the OUN-UPA (Ukrainian Insurgent Army), the military wing of the OUN-B, Roman Shukhevych was Hauptmann of the Abwehr and was deputy commanding officer of the punitive and sabotage unit "Nachtigal" established by the Nazis in occupied Poland. A number of OUN ideologists and leaders openly called Ukrainian nationalism a part of the European fascist movement. It is important to note: The OUN gravitated not to Italian fascism (the doctrine of the corporate state), but to German National Socialism with its racial theory. Therefore, like the Croatian Ustaše, the OUN is a version of National Socialism with its genocidal practices of solving the national question. Ukrainian nationalists had no state of their own, and they received social support from illiterate villagers. Galicia and Volhynia, the two centers of Ukrainian nationalism, were backward regions dependent on agriculture. It is important to note that Poles and Jews represented the upper class of the social and cultural hierarchy in the more urbanized Galicia. Thus, Ukrainian nationalism, which developed imitating of German National Socialism, emerged in a culturally backward and agrarian environment and served as an ideological and political basis for ethnic revenge.
As Ronald McDonald would say I’m loving it

In Chess, pawns fall before Vladimir Putin, the president of the great, magnanimous and victorious Russian nation over would-be global dominators.
US favorite, Japanese prime minister must resign:
Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida has announced his plans to step down as leader of Japan's LDP. The move comes after Kishida's falling approval ratings, which follow a corruption scandal surrounding the party, as well as rising cost of living and the weakening of the yen.
In late 2023, Kishida announced that he was resigning as leader of the Kochikai faction of the ruling Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) following a years-long ticket sales scandal. Five factions of the LDP have been accused of allegedly under-declaring income in party fund reports.
Strangely BBC does document on the heart broken Palestinian father whose two innocent new born four days old infants who were bombed!
Neither BBC reports on the Israeli's war crimes and on the Israeli lies at all?
Very strange isn't it?
the new mother ukraine
Russia 🇷🇺 attacked Ukraine. First
Interesting the region this has taken place in, if anyone knows history this was the region where the largest battle in history was fought in WW2 the Battle of Kursk (operation citadel) lasted from July 5 to August 23 1943. This was one of the key battles that decided the outcome of WW2 (that and the battle of Stalingrad) anyway though Germany did ultimately loose that battle, it got off to good start initially before stalling, hopefully history doesn't repeat itself.
Now Russia is calling this incursion (couter offensive) terrorism? 🤦♂️ You know nobody likes a bully, they act all tough until you give them a taste of their own medicine and they go into panic mode and all of sudden try making themselves look like the victims, pathetic.
But I have to say I admire Ukraine's tenacity and determination. They have made Russia pay a heavy price for this senseless war.
Basto all cantry

indian r tv channel is fake news channel
Vladimir Putin is only the worthy president of the grandiose, magnanimous and victorious Russian nation over would-be global dominators. And what's really sick is the kick he gave the bag of dollars.
Besiege Wei to save Zhao
Ukraina invasi wilayah Rusia Ukraina di cop teroris Rusia dua tahun lalu Rusia invasi Ukraina Rusia di sebut apa😂😂😂
Putin: Take Ukraine land and want peace treaty but stolen Ukraine land shalt no be return. Ukraine: Reverse Uno🤣. So there is no need to return stolen land? 😏
I feal like they just made a huge mistake
Dayum Ukraine going for Russia in force
When Putin invaded Ukraine he termed it as special operations
But when Ukraine did the same thing they termed it as terrorists attack 😅😅😅😅
Bbc fake
They are even both Russia and Ukraine
They called it terrorism?? That's like Debo calling somebody a bully.
Russia bombing Russia..cant make this up.
*Counter-counter-terrorism
All lies, properganda on here stop lying to the ppl we had enougth of it
Once Dagestan, and Chechnya, and Tatarstan gain independence it will weaken Russia.
Once Georgia turns back against Russia (like Ukraine, like the baltics, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, like Poland, Germany, and Finland did) it will weaken Russia.
Like Kazakhstan did (remember when Kazakhstan seized control of the Cosmodrome on March 7 2023)?
Like Armenia did (remember when Armenia quit the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO) on June 12 2024)?
Who are Russian allies?
North Korea? China and North Korea are allies. Similar to how Belarus and Russia are.
Once China invades Outer Manchuria (they have already stated renaming cities) Russia will weaken. And North Korea will side with China not Russia.
How can Russia give money to Belarus, Venezuela, and Cuba if China invades in the East, and Ukraine invades in the West…Russia is heavily sanctioned how can they pay for their allies with no money left?
Russia is at risk of being invaded by China.
China has already begun rewriting maps, and renaming cities.
The eight cities changed are Boli for Khabarovsk, Hailanpao for Blagoveshchensk, Haishenwai (Haishenwei) for Vladivostok, Kuye for Sakhalin, Miaojie for Nikolayevsk-on-Amur, Nibuchu for Nerchinsk, Outer Khingan (Outer Xing'an) for Stanovoy Range, and Shuangchengzi for Ussuriysk.
Russia cannot defeat a Chinese invasion. Especially since Russia is overstretched the frontlines in the Western front. Once China invades Russia will cease to exist.
UK, France, Israel, USA, China all have nukes.
Russia can't nuke UK, France, US, Israel and China all at once….
The invasion of Belgorod and Kursk has started. Russia will have to nuke it's own soil to stop the invasion. After they irradiate their own soil, the radiation cloud will travel East (due to prevailing winds traveling West to East…).
East of Ukraine is Moscow. If Russia nukes Kursk/Belgorod to stop the invasion, then the radioactive fallout will travel over Moscow….
Once China begins the invasion in the East, and Japan retakes the Kuril Islands, and USA puts 5 aircraft carriers in the Pacific/off the coast of Vladivostok…how can Russia win?
I do not understand how mathematically Russia can win. They are impoverished. They are sanctioned. Russia cannot get high end semiconductors from Taiwan, Korea, or USA. Once China invades, Russia will no longer have access to modern day technology.
Russia has aging cold war nukes. One aircraft carrier that needs to be towed around with a tug boat (Admiral Kuznetsov). The SU-57 fighter jets are a disaster and cannot compete with Western technology (or Chinese technology).
The population demographics do not favor Russia in the future.
Especially after losing 330,000 Russian men as of July 2024.
How will Russia win the war once China invades Outer Manchuria and takes back their land?
How will Russia push Ukraine out of Russia, without using nukes on the Russian people?
And once Japan invades the Kuril Islands and retakes their territory.
Вы, американские балбесы, даже не представляете, что вас ждет, вы никогда серьезно не воевали, но скоро увидите)
