Ukrainian military equipment moved near Russian border

The Kremlin scrambled to evacuate residents from a border town Saturday, as Ukrainian troops quickly advanced toward a nuclear plant, four days after gaining a foothold in Russia’s southwestern Kursk region.

Mayor Igor Korpunkov of Kurchatov said Ukrainian forces had crossed the border into Russia last week with their sights set on the Kursk Nuclear Power Plant.

“The situation is tense, a state of emergency is in effect,” said Korpunkov. “However, all services and enterprises, including the city administration, are operating normally. I am personally in the city, at my workplace, monitoring the situation.”

There were reports of sporadic power outages throughout the region since Monday.

Ukrainian soldiers continued tomove further into Russia, reaching at least six miles into Russian territory, the deepest advance since Moscow invaded the neighboring nation in February 2022.

As it moved to tighten security, Russia designated three regions — Kursk, Belgorod and Bryansk — as sites for “counter-terrorism” operations, aimed at halting Ukrainian troops from gaining any more ground.

  1. Why can't the Ukrainians reclaim all of the lost territory in the east when Russians are fighting with shovels ?

  2. I don't see a border or any terrain that would prove the tank locations. As far as I know, they could be in Afghanistan.

  3. Must be election season in the USA! Looks like the only chance democrats have at convincing America to vote for them.

  4. Just another distraction..if they were gonna do something it would have been done by now. Zelinsky loves the US money..especially since no accountability for where it goes. America 1st ❤

  5. Ukraine has gone to great lengths to protect their SBU files on Hunter Biden and the Chairman and next week Epstein's complete list.

  8. Imagine not telling your viewers Ukraine is about 400 square kilometers into Russian territory. You are the reason this war had lasted this long

  9. Billions of US dollars wasted on another country meanwhile we are suffering with poverty and homelessness. Shame on the Democrats for putting other countries first.
