It has been said by the President of Ukraine that the offensive is part of an effort to restore justice following the invasion by Russia in 2022.
After Russia invaded Ukraine in 2022, the Ukrainian president stated that the attack was part of an effort to restore justice to the country.
The Russian government said that Ukrainian soldiers had advanced into the Kursk region on Tuesday, and Russian military bloggers stated that they had made some progress. However, they asserted that the situation has subsequently become more stable.
Valery Gerasimov, the top general of Moscow, stated on Wednesday that the strikes had been stopped, but Russia has not been successful in driving the Ukrainian soldiers off its land as of yet.
According to statements made by officials in Kursk on Sunday, thirteen people were injured in the city as a result of debris from a damaged Ukrainian missile falling on a residential structure that included nine stories.
The Ukrainians are “in charge” of the Russian town,
During the Kursk region, Russia’s air defence units were responsible for the destruction of 14 drones launched from Ukraine and four Tochka-U tactical ballistic missiles, according to the Russian Ministry of Defence.
Additionally, drones were shot down over the districts of Voronezh, Belgorod, Bryansk, and Orlov, according to the report.
As part of its response to Ukraine’s surprise invasion of Kursk, Russia stated on Saturday that it had used a thermobaric bomb on Ukrainian forces. This announcement was made in conjunction with the announcement of a “counter-terrorism” operation.
Increasing the level of security measures in the border regions of Kursk, Belgorod, and Bryansk is something that Russia has announced and made public. Through the implementation of these procedures, the government is able to move residents, exercise control over phone communications, and request cars.
The acting governor of Kursk, Alexei Smirnov, has given orders to the local authorities to expedite the evacuation of citizens from locations that are considered to be dangerous.
As of Saturday, the Russian state news agency TASS reported that more than 76,000 people had been evacuated from their homes.
In a video that was shared on social media on Friday, it looked like soldiers who claimed to be from the 61st Brigade were standing outside of a Gazprom plant in the Russian town of Sudzha while holding a Ukrainian flag.
“Everything is calm in the town,” according to the soldiers, adding: “All the buildings are safe; the strategic object of Gazprom in Sudzha is under the control of the 99th Mechanised Battalion.”
The promise of Zelenskyy to bring back justice
In the video speech that he gives every night, Mr. Zelenskyy makes a commitment to bring about justice for Russia’s invasion.
According to him, he had a conversation on the operation with a high-ranking military officer in Ukraine named Oleksandr Syrskyi. He stated, “Today, I received several reports from commander-in-chief Syrskyi regarding the front lines and our actions to push the war on to the territory of the aggressor.”
“Ukraine is proving that it can indeed restore justice and ensure the necessary pressure on the aggressor.”
Russia launches an attack on the capital of Ukraine
It occurs at the same time as Russia began an air attack on Kyiv early on Sunday morning.
According to Vitali Klitschko, the mayor of Kyiv, air defence systems located on the outskirts of the city were successful in repelling the strikes.
According to what he said on Telegram, “Air defence units are operating, and the air raid alert continues.”
When debris from a Russian weapon that had been shot down fell on the house that the youngster and his father were living in near the capital city, the boy, who was four years old, and his father, who was 35 years old, both killed, according to Ukrainian officials.
