Ukraine launched a significant offensive into Russian territory, marking the largest foreign incursion in decades. Thousands of Ukrainian troops breached the Russian border at Kursk, aiming to strengthen Kyiv's stance in future ceasefire negotiations. President Putin condemned the move as a major provocation.
Despite intense battles, Ukraine has carved out a section of Kursk, embarrassing Russian forces. Russia reported the destruction of 117 Ukrainian drones in various regions and displayed military actions against Ukrainian positions. However, Ukrainian forces continue to advance, with President Zelenskiy directing further key steps in the operation.
The offensive has altered the war's narrative, demonstrating Ukraine's ability to conduct large-scale operations. The incursion has pressured Russia to reallocate troops, complicating Putin's strategy. U.S. officials stated they were not involved in the operation, though the White House acknowledged its significance in the ongoing conflict.
