Ukrainian forces have responded to Russian efforts to expel them from one part of Russian territory by launching a large number of attacks on another border area, using drones, artillery and troops.
More than 20 villages in Russia’s Belgorod region – which are located in a 150-kilometer stretch of land along the Ukrainian border – have come under attack, according to the region’s governor, Vyacheslav Gladkov. The Ukrainian military has not officially acknowledged the operation. The assault by Ukrainian forces appears to be in response to their recent losses in the Russian region of Kursk, adjacent to Belgorod, where they seized more than 1,000 square kilometers last August.
Earlier this week, Russian television reporter Anna Prokofieva was killed in the same area. Elsewhere, Ukrainian forces appear very much on the backfoot. In the east of Ukraine, Russian troops continue sustained attacks in the Pokrovsk area of Donetsk – at the highest intensity yet this year, according to the unofficial Ukrainian blog Deep State. But Deep State said the Ukrainians had reduced the rate of their territorial losses since January.
