One sequence shows Russian FSB security service border guards along with army conscripts emerging with white flags from the blitzed ruins of the Sudzha border checkpoint
Ukraine has finally revealed footage capturing the first hours of their dramatic thrust into Russia 's Kursk region last week.
Highlighted in the videos are 'de-mining, the border breakthrough, destruction of enemy defensive lines, air force and artillery operations, and taking prisoners', the official channel of the Air Assault Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine said. The AFU footage shows 'the first hours of the offensive operation by the defence forces in the Kursk region of the Russian Federation on 6 August 2024'.
It comes as Aleksei Zhivov, a Russian military volunteer and political analyst, demanded that Putin quizzes his top brass over why they ignored clear advance intelligence about the Ukrainian incursion.'Everything was reported in a timely manner, multiple times.'

'Foreign troops with NATO equipment entered our land,' they complained, upset that they are facing the same foreign occupation that Putin has inflicted on large regions of Ukraine. Meanwhile, Ukrainian officers fighting in the Kursk offensive have implored Britain to green-light the use of Storm Shadow missiles to strike targets deep into Russia.
Several Challenger-2 tanks are believed to have forged across the border as part of the invasion force - though Russian military bloggers gloated yesterday that drones had successfully destroyed one of the British-made vehicles used in the offensive. Newest NATO member Sweden declared yesterday morning that Ukraine has the right to defend itself both inside and outside its territory, with Kyiv's Western allies seemingly supportive of the incursion in Kursk.
