Kyiv's surprise offensive left Vladimir Putin's army scrambling to control Russia's own territory. Follow live updates here.
Ukraine launched a surprise counteroffensive inside Russia, putting Vladimir Putin's troops on the back foot on their home soil. Clashes erupted on Tuesday in the region bordering Ukraine's northeastern Sumy region. While anti-Kremlin militia groups have previously carried out surprise raids into the border region of Belgorod, this incursion increasingly appears to be on a different scale, reportedly involving multiple Ukrainian units and armored convoys.
Meanwhile, Russian war analysts and the 'z-blogger' community have grown increasingly frustrated with and furious at Putin military's response to the attack. Ukraine troops reportedly control up to 130 square miles of Russian territory as of Thursday morning. On Wednesday president Vladimir Putin convened an emergency security council meeting to address the threat.
