Ukraine's surprise incursion into Russia's Kursk region is continuing, with battles raging into a fourth day. Ukraine has made territorial gains, with some suggestions it could have control of Sudzha - the last operational trans-shipping point for Russian gas to Europe via Ukraine.
Ukraine's incursion into Russia is 'big' and represents much more than just a raid, our security and defence analyst Professor Michael Clarke says. 'It began at dawn on Tuesday, and it looked like one of these freedom for Russia legion attacks,' he says, referencing previous incursions by anti-Kremlin groups .'It looked like one of those attacks - a sort of pinprick attack - to embarrass the Russians and cause a bit of a problem,' he adds.
and within about 48 hours they were backing it up with apparently some quite big units,' he adds, noting reports that American and German-supplied tanks and armoured vehicles have been on the ground. Sky News is seeking to clarify whether any British military equipment has been used in the attack. 'They look as if they've taken over at least a dozen settlements,' he says.
