Ukrainian troops have remained in Russia’s western Kursk region as its surprise cross-border offensive into Russia came to the end of a fourth day.

The Russian defence ministry said it was “continuing to repel” Ukraine’s military, which it claimed had lost more than 280 personnel in the past 24 hours - a figure that has not been independently verified.

Reports suggest that Ukrainian troops are operating more than 10km (six miles) inside Russia - the deepest cross-border advance by Kyiv since Moscow launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.

    Ukraine should hold a referendum in Kursk and make it officially Ukrainian territory. That's totally legal according to Russia.

    Ukraine plays a right decision because Russia came take over Ukraine territory so,Ukraine have to do the same as Russia did Ukraine need to take more Russia territory to exchange back to break even.

    Not an “invasion”, a special military operation. Maybe Russia should save needless loss of life and suffering by coming to the bargaining table and ceding Kursk back to Ukraine? 🤷
  • People in the comments have no clue what are they talking about? Sound like very far from history and have no knowledge about Russia.
