Combat engineers breached Russian defences along the border last week as Moscow mounted its first significant attempt to claw back territory seized by Kyiv in its surprise incursion.
The fresh offensive is about 20 miles west of the 820-square kilometre area that Western officials last week said Ukraine was successfully occupying.
Soon after breaking across the frontier, [Ukrainian troops](https://www.telegraph.co.uk/russia-ukraine-war/) advanced several miles beyond the village of Novyi Put, where they entered the Glushkovsky district of Kursk.
Ukrainian tanks rolled up to the southern outskirts of the Russian garrison town of Veseloe, about three miles north of the Ukrainian border.
The Ukrainian Centre for Defence Strategies said in a report on Sunday that Kyiv’s forces had “practically taken control of it”.
I’m not sure what garrison town is supposed to mean? A town where the army has a sizeable garrison? Does this mean they killed the garrison or took them captive? How many people are we talking about?
If they would have vacuumed more often, there wouldn’t have been so much dust! 😷
Oh that’s the JDAM that was mentioned
Ooooof…boom
A bit of render and a lick of paint and it’ll be fine.

Ladies and gentlemen, we got some small amounts of asbestos in the air.
I think someone misspelled “demolished”
That was one spicy meatball.
