Ukrainian forces leave path of destruction in Kursk incursion • FRANCE 24 English

A trail of destruction lies in the path that Ukrainian forces carved on their risky incursion into Russia, blasting through the border and eventually into the town of Sudzha, where Associated Press journalists travelled Friday on a Ukrainian government-organised trip. Artillery fire has blown chunks out of a statue of Soviet founder Vladimir Lenin that stands in a central square of the Russian town, which Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Thursday was fully under his troops’ control. The windows of an administrative building are blasted out, and its bright yellow facade is scorched and pockmarked with bullet holes.

  1. When the Russian army captured Ukrainian territories they raped women and killed innocent civilians. In contrast, when the Ukrainian army captured Russian territories, civilians were not harmed and were even provided with food.

  2. 😂😂😂 "it was part of putins master plan to be invaded and occupied by a foriegn military force this whole time!! Its actually BASED that russias towns civilians are now living under foreign rule"

  3. "leaves trail of destruction"? – Russian troops are "destructed" but Ukrainian troops are avoiding destroying civilian houses and civilian themselves as much they can, so different how Russian troops behaved in Ukraine! How you call then ruining to Earth towns and robbing, murdering and raping civilians in Ukraine by Russians when your headline says that "trail of destruction" here?

  4. "Ukrainian forces leave path of destruction" but I like to think of it as a Special Redecoration Operation.

    Russia is not the victim here. Where was France 24 when Russia was torturing and executing Ukrainian civilians?

  5. ruSSia only needs to leave Ukraine to end all this madness, madness that Ukrainian’s have been try to live through since ruSSia’s invasion over 900 days ago

  6. The headline is not fair at all. You are implying that Ukraine is just destroying everything along the way. We know part of the damage was due to the Russian response. Such reporting may attract and encourage an unconventional response from Russia.

  7. The worm turns. The invader becomes the invaded. Ukraine's incursion into Russia shows that Putin isn't the superman or strongman that Russian propaganda portrays him to be.

    He isn't able to protect the Russian people or guarantee their security. The Kursk incursion by Ukraine is probably the beginning of the end of Putin's rule. Eventually, the army top brass and the hoi polloi will move against him in order to secure a separate peace with Kyiv.
