Russian officials said they have opened 400 temporary shelters across the country after Ukraine’s cross-border offensive.

Ukraine’s military said it now controls 1000 sq km of Russian territory, a week into its incursion into the border region of Kursk.

Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky has said the war “is coming home” to Russia.

But Russia’s President Vladimir Putin has accused Ukraine of “committing crimes” and said Kyiv would receive what he called a “worthy response”.

  4. It's a move Ukraine causing Russia to divert troops away from the Donbass. But once Russia starts neutralising the enemy, it could be disastrous.

  5. The Ukrainian army, which had been on the defensive, suddenly launched an angry counterattack. Czar Vladimir Putin, who had not expected this at all, now seems stunned, not knowing what to do.

  6. Take a screenshot of what ukraine has of russia and a screen shot of what russia has of ukraine then say its a comparable success… we're all morons 😢 hundreds of thousands dead both ukraine, russian and foreigners some have been blown into particles and will never be found …. and you idiots believe it's success…

  7. KIEV'S ACTION ON RUSSIAN TERRITORY IS UNACCEPTABLE!!! PURE MADNESS!!!!!!!!!! "especially with our weapons; These are crazy BUT how can the Americans accept all this; HERE THERE IS THE RISK OF AN IRREPARABLE ESCALATION!!!!!!

  14. Western propaganda still trying to justify this incursion when they know it makes no military significant whatsoever, they would have been better deployed on the main front, who knows maybe then they would have gain back some lost territories, kursk is a dumb risky strategy, that's probably why the Russians didn't expect it, or even re-enforce the region, secondly saying the Russians have to take troops from the main front to defend Kursk is a statement only ignorant pple will believe, the Russian military is much larger than that they can mobilize forces there in Russia without involving anyone in the main frontlines, the Russians have more military active personnel as well as reserves than the Ukrainian, i wonder why people still fall for this propaganda….in reality the Russians haven't involved up to 50% of their military in the Ukraine conflict, lets not forget they are groups like the wagner in belarus and chen chens who are not actively in the conflict yet…

  16. Well worth watching: Star historian issues stunning warning about Trump. It's on Brian Tyler Cohen's site on YouTube. It's also important to the BBC as it's newsworthy.

  21. I don’t know why world famous propaganda channel likes you hide some important new of these conflict… why your channel is not sharing a news where your own government denied to request of that clown to use of strome shadow missile inside Russia in Krusk .. what do you think that people will not get this information.. may be your channel is baised but not everyone… so stop spreading one sided news of Ukrainian conflict…

  27. Good ole fashioned European War movement. Huge fronts, trenches, growing in size in maneuvers. You know where this goes, if there isn't a Coup this just keeps escalating.
