Frontline report – Russia scrambles to contain Ukrainian attack in Kursk region | BBC News
A week after Ukrainian forces launched a surprise attack into Russia’s Kursk region, Russian forces have been scrambling to regain control.
Ukraine troops who launched the surprise incursion across the border claim to control around 1,000 square kilometers of Russian territory.
Russia has deployed missiles and airstrikes in its attempt to contain the Ukrainian advance as the Kremlin attempts to play down the significance of the surprise attack. It is continuing to evacuate Russian civilians from the area.
Ukraine has not stated the purpose of its assault and has made clear that it is not seeking to permanently occupy Russian territory. However the shock attack has served to boost morale within Ukraine, more than two years after it was invaded by President Putin’s forces and it may serve to draw Russian forces away from frontline fighting within Ukraine.

The silent majority of ordinary Americans are concerned about UK riots and eager to renew our support for Ukraine once we elect Harris! So sorry so many are suffering.

BBC always lie 😂

Слава Україні 💙🇺🇦💛
BBC will win without doubt 🤣🤣🤣 and of course the people who are commenting.
It was a trap. Russia allowed this. Now, they will bombard them.
Whatever msm
What the old man said is possibly true.. if Ukraine did this long time ago…… Offense is the best defense indeed
Oh Please. For factual news, go elsewhere.
Dear BBC, why are you obsessed with Graffiti? It's illegal you know
When u entre a lions den doesnt mean its your den
Napoleon dreams, Hitler dreams, Zelensky comedian dreams > Kursk = the end of RUSSIA 😅
Russia can't succeed on Ukraine, why would they able to succeed just a few miles to the east? 😂😂😂
Anyone notice bbc turned off all the comments regarding stories about their protests and the fact the UK government turned into North Korea overnight?
BBC = BRITISH BULLSHITING CORPORATION . Not an iota of news is accurate from BBC , its pathetic how BBC thinks people are stupid . Maybe BBC SHOULD JUST BE BIG BULLS C0CK. 😂 😂
BBC = Fake media
5 days late… thanks for the old news. defund BBC, and please dont have me arrested for having an opinion on your usefulness.
BBC is in love with HAMAS and Putin, fact
Did I see a horss drawn buggy??😮 Putin? Wow.
Yall dont laugh because it can be world War 3
Ukraine now writting their death sentence in their self..
It's the Nato fighters helping Ukraine advance!
If this becomes also guerilla war by Ukraine, Russia should know it becomes even more dangerous and unpredictable.
Hitler and Bonaparte tried it before and they all have the same faith 😂
Не верьте той информации, что вам рисует Зеленский. Его вылазка была ради чего? Где хоронить это всё добро? Он в очередной раз проиграл 😂 актёрский Ахмат пленный, голливудские жители Курска 😂 Он потерпел поражение, привёл солдат на убой, как мясо. В первые два дня солдаты продвигались, пока не подтянулись Русские войны. На самой Украине всё так же плохо. У вас в Америке плохая разведка. 😅
Danger is her middle name
The BBC is a lying , far-left satanic LGBTQ+ terrorist supporting organization , just the same as the rest of the evil Western Mainstream Media. They all support the terrorist Western installed bloodthirsty despot Ukrainian regime of Zelensky.
UK supports Russia today not Ukraine
Tama lng Yan sakupin nyo din para tabla na
Sorry guys stock markets have clearly lost interest in ur wars
Going in is easy. Maintaining the supply chain and resources to keep the territory is the name of the game.
In the old Soviet union, Ukrainians were the REAL fighters manning the frontlines to the West, as opposed to the Russian "politicians" in uniforms. They know Soviet strategy and tactics well, as well as its weaknesses. Even the first line of nukes were in Ukraine.
😂😂😂🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🤝🤝🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷✌️✌️✌️🎊🎊🎊
The lost of Russia in the war is benificial for China because it can now claim it's lost territory in it's northern border with Russia after World War 2
Gee wizz try to positive bbc.
NATO generals already acknowledge that this attack has failed and now Ukraine is falling back.
You took my land, i take your land!
Meanwhile Putin: All is according to plan. They took the trap.😂
