Ukraine sets up military office inside Russia | BBC News

Ukraine has set up a military administrative office in Russia’s Kursk region, where its surprise incursion into Russian territory continues, according to its top military commander.

Gen Oleksandr Syrsky said the office would “maintain law and order” and “meet the immediate needs” of the population in the area.

In a video posted on social media, Gen Syrsky is seen telling a meeting chaired by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky that the office has been created “on the territories controlled by Ukraine”.

Russian Defence Minister Andrei Belousov has said Moscow will send reinforcements to “safeguard” the population in the region.

Ukraine also claimed to have made further gains in its incursion on Thursday.

  8. How can the United States have a problem with Ukraine using American weapons inside Russia on Russian troops in defence of their own land when the U.S. government doesn't seem to have an issue with the Israeli regime using American made weapons to indiscriminately murder children, families and other civilians on a massive scale in Gaza??

  11. World war 3 is about to start😱😩😱🙏👎👎
    Putin would call China, North Korea,and Iran to join Russian forces and fighting Ukraine and may be NATO too 😩😱🙏👎👎

  17. "British tanks operating on Russian soil." OMG! But how about Russian agents killing people on British soil? Besides, those are Ukrainian tanks produced in Britain. Let's be precise.

  24. Totally wrong. You should get access to the 2024 election campaign. Trump is not inerested in helping anybody but himself. He has absolutely no idea of international law principles and has no authority over Putin nor Zelenskyy. Do not put your childish hopes on Trump who states to be in acúlate by God. YyYOU ARE NOT WELL INFORMED, Your opinions are not educated on reality.

  29. Get a real former general whose been in battle give the analysis…im so sick of hearing these armchair academics who never got shot at giving their opinions! DEI opinions dont apply in this war analysis….blah blah blah.

  31. Test! Test wether Russia will use Nuclear weapons? Guess what the most of world says the believe Russia and we don’t need a test. Everyone looses when Nuclear weapons are used no matter who uses them first.

  33. To address the conflict between Ukraine and Russia in a way that minimizes hostilities and prevents future escalations, including invasions or attacks, Ukraine can consider various diplomatic, defensive, and international collaboration strategies. These strategies should be multifaceted and aim both at immediate resolution of the conflict and at creating an environment of long-term stability and peace.

    Diplomatic Strategies
    Peace Negotiations: Ukraine could actively seek to resume peace negotiations with the mediation of international bodies such as the UN, OSCE, or even neutral powers that can facilitate dialogue.
    Multilateral Diplomacy: Work with international allies and partners to form a strong coalition that can exert diplomatic pressure on Russia to stop hostilities.
    Defensive Reinforcement
    Strengthening Defenses: Continue to strengthen military capabilities with the support of international allies, not only to deter further aggression, but also to secure areas already affected by conflict.
    Cybersecurity: Improve cyber defense infrastructure to protect against cyber attacks that could destabilize the country.
    International Collaboration
    Economic Sanctions: Advocate that the international community maintain or intensify economic sanctions against Russia to deter continued aggression.
    Humanitarian and Economic Support: Seek humanitarian and economic assistance to support the war-affected population and strengthen the Ukrainian economy.
    Legal Strategies
    International Courts: Use international legal platforms to denounce any illegal actions or war crimes, seeking accountability and legal consequences for the actors involved.
    Defending Sovereignty and Territorial Integrity: Continue to defend sovereignty and territorial integrity in international forums, ensuring that international laws and norms are respected.
    Communication and Propaganda
    Information Campaigns: Conduct information campaigns to ensure that both the Ukrainian and international public are well informed about developments in the conflict, countering disinformation.
    International Solidarity: Foster international solidarity through campaigns that showcase the human consequences of the conflict and the resilience of the Ukrainian people.
    Emergency Response Preparedness
    Contingency Planning: Develop and maintain up-to-date contingency plans in the event of major escalations, including possible nuclear attacks or large-scale invasions.
    Early Warning Systems and Civil Protection: Enhance early warning systems and civil protection capabilities to minimize civilian casualties in the event of attacks.
    Implementing these strategies requires a coordinated approach that combines domestic resilience with robust international support. The goal must always be to seek a peaceful solution that secures Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, minimizes human suffering, and stabilizes the region in the long term.
