Ukraine’s top military commander says his forces now control 386 square miles of Russia’s bordering Kursk region.
Ukraine's top military commander says his forces now control 386 square miles of Russia's neighboring Kursk region, the first time a Ukrainian military official has publicly commented on the gains of the lightning incursion that has embarrassed the Kremlin. Gen. Oleksandr Syrskyi made the statement in a video posted Monday to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s Telegram channel. In the video, he briefed the president on the front-line situation.
Tracking down all the Ukrainian units that are roaming the region and creating diversions is difficult, Smirnov said, adding that some are using fake Russian IDs. The governor of the Belgorod region adjacent to Kursk also announced the evacuation of people from a district near the Ukrainian border. Ukrainian forces swiftly rolled into the town of Sudzha about six miles over the border after launching the attack.
