In one of the biggest Ukrainian attacks on Russia of the two-year war, around 1,000 Ukrainian troops crossed the Russian border in the early hours of Tuesday with tanks and armoured vehicles, covered in the air by swarms of drones and pounding artillery, according to Russian officials. Russia's most senior general, Valery Gerasimov, told Mr Putin on Wednesday that the Ukrainian offensive had been halted in the border area, while the defence ministry added on Thursday that the army and the Federal Security Service were battling Ukrainian units in the Kursk region.
"The enemy passed through our line of defence quite easily," said Yuri Podolyaka, a popular Ukrainian-born pro-Russian military blogger.The battles around Sudzha come at a crucial juncture in the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, which has become the biggest land war in Europe since World War II. Former Russian president Dmitry Medvedev said the Ukrainian attack was an attempt to force Russia to divert resources from the front in Ukraine and to show the West that Ukraine could still fight.
