Russia has accused Ukraine of crossing the border into its Kursk region, a rarity, which if confirmed will be the first incursion of its kind from Ukraine putting pressure on Moscow in an area largely unaffected by the two-year Russia-Ukraine war..
The Russian Ministry of Defense, the Russian Investigative Committee and the Russian Ombudsman for Children all said Ukrainian forces had launched a “massive attack” on Tuesday, August 6 attempting to break through the Russian defences on the borders of the Kursk region, which sits just north of Ukraine’s Sumy region.
Russian military bloggers said Ukrainian forces attacked by land and air to enter Russia near the town of Sudzha, about 6 miles (10 kilometres) from the border.
