The unprecedented assault entered its fourth day Friday with Moscow rushing reinforcements and bombing its own territory to try to contain the Ukrainian advance.
A convoy of burnt-out military trucks, some bearing the “Z” symbol of the Kremlin’s war and appearing to contain bodies, sits along the side of a highway.
The video, circulating on social media Friday and geolocated by NBC News, doesn’t show a beleaguered section of the front lines in eastern Ukraine. It is a village in Kursk, across the border in southern Russia.
For days now Vladimir Putin’s forces have struggled to put down an incursion into Russian territory by Ukrainian troops, after a surprise attack that threatened to upend the war’s status quo and open a new front in a daring challenge to the Kremlin.
It sucks to have your country invaded, doesn’t it?
It’s not an invasion!
It’s a special military operation…
They should concede Kursk oblast in the name of peace
I hear they had a vote and 140% of the people wanted to join Ukraine 😉
TBH I think this is why Ukraine has dont this. It makes all the “freeze the conflict in its current state” calls mean that Russia would have to give up territory too, which would infuriate the ultra-nationalists in Russia and possibly destabalise Putin’s rule.
That’s called “karma”
They should surrender. Putin is sending all those to die defending their territory for selfish reasons. \s
So far they are invading Putin’s senile ass
