Ukrainian Army’s Incursion Advanced 30 km Inside Russia 

In a dramatic turn of events the Ukrainian troop’s incursion above 30km in the Russian land has turned out to be the largest and most profound assault since Moscow started its full-blown incursion of Ukraine in February 2022.  

According to the Russian defense ministry, the Kursk region invasion reached its sixth day. The forces of Russia had now fought against the Ukrainian army close to the villages of Tolpino and Obshchy Kolodez.

The back-and-forth word fight continued as Russian spokeswoman for the foreign ministry Maria Zakharova charged that the Ukrainian army is deliberately harassing creating chaos in the “peaceful population of Russia”. 

To address this statement on Friday night, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, directly acknowledged the fact of the invasion for the first time. He continued with the statements that Russians had carried out more than 2000 cross-border incursions from the very place of Kursk in the summer. 

Thousand of Russian army troops, significantly larger than the modest invasion the first time were notified by the Russian Border guards. They were involved in the operation as per a statement given by a senior official to AFP.  Throughout the years Ukraine has backed several cross-border attacks in Russia by the sabotage groups. However, this type of planned and coordinated attack on Russian territory surely marked an event by the Kyiv’s conventional soldiers. The Urakian attack movement for the Kursk has surely shaken the whole world.
