Ukrainian attack on Sudzha turns Kursk into frontline; Russia claims gains amid fierce battles

Following a Ukrainian attack on Sudzha in Russia’s Kursk region, the city, now a strategic frontline, remains fiercely contested, with both sides claiming gains. The town, a crucial natural gas hub, continues to send Russian gas to Europe despite ongoing hostilities. Russian forces assert they’ve recaptured nearby villages and launched a state of emergency in Belgorod after a drone attack injured civilians. The Russian government is deploying additional troops as evacuations continue. This surprise Ukrainian offensive has exposed vulnerabilities along the Russia-Ukraine border, challenging Moscow’s control.

  4. Near Kharkiv, on 08/14/24, Putin’s fascists fired at a Ukrainian evacuation vehicle with an FPV drone and killed volunteer medic Alexandra Mulkevich (35 years old), a male doctor died along with her, another female medic was hospitalized. In addition to them, three more civilians in a car passing nearby were injured from the explosion. On the 15th she was supposed to return from rotation to her family…

  8. Putin and defense minister are not serious in this war so worse is Still coming, how Putin is fighting this war, just bring back Russian young men home

  9. long as Ukraine and Israel can maintain their positions everything is good. The Chinese and North Koreans are just going to watch their allies Russia and Iran not making gains

  13. Today looks very bad for Putin as he only expected maybe long range missiles or some drones , Comedian got New NATO Steroids that are really effective for now. Biggest question is still only , how is this now going to lead peace for both sides . And what will happen now next .

  26. This is no "embarrassment" to Russia, this is an embarrassment to clown begging nation of Begkraine because while they are losing their @$$ in the dombas region yet they pretend to invade

  37. What is happening in Kursk is a deliberate sacrifice of men in order to humiliate Putin. The west wants to defeat Russia, but can't militarily…it would likely leave the world contaminated. Besides, a new, faster technique has been developed…"the color revolution". Problem is, Putin's popularity is very high, so the west has invaded some near empty fields, and is raising a lot of propaganda about it, in order to give Putin the reputation as the man who let Russia be invaded. This sets the stage for a color revolution, and a Juan Guido in Moscow.

  38. It's funny seeing so many western zombies seeing this as a victory for Ukraine.
    Firstly, this is a nato attack, not Ukrainian.
    Secondly, this will have huge consequences for Ukranians, especially the innocent ones, if there is such a thing.
