Kyiv claims to have seized more than a thousand square kilometres in the Kursk region and intends to continue its offensive despite Russia’s recent efforts to counter it. The incursion has led Moscow to evacuate at least 200,000 people, mobilise reserves, and impose a security lockdown.

He termed it a “shock” rather than an intelligence failure, attributing it to the extensive border with Ukraine and vulnerabilities exploited by Ukrainian forces. Federov added […]
