Another Russian region declares emergency as Ukraine offensive continues | BBC News

A second region in Russia has declared a state of emergency, as Ukraine’s incursion into the country enters its second week.

The governor of Belgorod said daily Ukrainian shelling is destroying homes and killing civilians, and Russia’s defence ministry says it shot down 117 Ukrainian drones over several regions overnight.

Ukraine launched its surprise attack into the Kursk region earlier this month, in what is their deepest and most significant incursion into the country since Moscow’s full-scale invasion began.

Russian President Vladimir Putin has said Kyiv would receive what he called a “worthy response”.

  1. are these bot comments or do people think what Ukraine has done is sensible or smart? this move will further escalate the conflict which is taking a heavy toll on Ukraine as a country. this move was stupid as much as not implementing the minsk accords.

  2. Let's not forget, Russia doesn't have the advantages anymore since their advantages was building trenches, minefields and tank traps within occupation zones of Ukraine that successfully stopped the Ukrainian Counter Attack, but now Putin doesn't want trenches, minefields and tanks traps within Russia otherwise it would make him look weak.

  3. Ukraina và NATO mưu sâu kế hiểm đánh chiếm nhà máy điện hạt nhân ở Kursk, để có lá bài gây áp lực với Moscow, buộc phải rút lui khỏi Donbass and Lyhansk. Nhưng thực chất ý Trời không cho,họ ngày qua ngày bị huỷ diệt hoàn toàn binh lính Ukraina vs lính đánh thuê NATO các phương tiện chiến tranh ở Kursk!

  4. Ihr seit Dummschwätzer !……. Das ganze wird so schnell enden wie es begonnen hat. Der Verlust einer ganzen ukrainischen Armee auf russischen Boden !
    Russland wird am Dnipr nicht halt machen !…. Russland zieht keine Truppen aus der Ostukraine ab ! ……..Ihr schurbelt nur dummes Zeug !!!

  5. All I know Russia is fighting invisibles. Russia cannot fight world mafias, Ukraine is under enormous advise and support from west. Putin won't get away with it

  6. Ukraine is pushing fast cause they are running out of time. Cause when the US election comes, and the new President (Trump) comes into power. No more Military Aid for zelensky.
