What to know about Ukraine’s surprise push into Russian territory

For more than a week, Ukrainian troops have pushed into the Kursk region of Russia, just north of their border, in the most extensive incursion by Kyiv’s forces in the war. The advance has shown significant weaknesses in Russia’s border defense and embarrassed the Kremlin. The Associated Press’ Andrew Meldrum explains what we know. (AP video: Vasilisa Stepanenko).

  6. Giving up territory on their Eastern Front to start a new Northern front, interesting strategy. We'll just have to wait and see what the result is.

  7. Is it an invasion really on an ongoing war started by russia when it invaded Ukraine and still occupies the crimia and other regions. The idea is to affect Russian public opinion.

  8. As a American citizen If it was up to me Ukraine wouldn't be getting no help from the United States we shouldn't be sticking are nose in someone's else problem

  10. Right… the US had no idea. It is a last desperate attempt to change the momentum. There is no way Ukraine can defeat Russia. It's been over a long time ago. Waste of lives and money.

  11. Something stranged, Ukraine captured only 100 Russian Border Guards, where are the others? Would it mean Putin is deploying hundreds of soldiers in a vast area, Kurks?

  15. What would happen if we pulled all of our funding out of all these wars, and just funneled all of it into feeding the poor in the united states?

  16. Ukraine's offensive into Russia is absolute brilliance for a few reasons.

    1. They showed they are capable of taking the fight to Russian soil while maintaining an effective defense along the front lines within Ukraine.
    2. It has shown that Russian doesn't have rapid deployment capabilities within their own country to quickly halt and/or repel an invasion of it's territory.
    3. Pay attention to the territory Ukraine is expanding into. Russian forces fighting in Ukraine are about to be encircled and completely cut off from resupply.

  19. in the korean war north korea drove deep into south korea. to stop it macarthur cut into their supply line. the north had to pull all the way back or be trapped. i don/t know if russia has enough manpower to do this. it's been 2 years and russia can even take over a small country. it just shows how weak they really are.

  20. Putin is a tricky customer.
    He'll let Ukraine feel like they're winning and advancing to get NATO and the west to deplete their economy by sending them more money, then booom hit them with the surprise "gotcha" now b***

  23. No one should listen to this propganda outlet what the Ukrainians did in kursk is a disaster for them they are getting wiped out and you know whats the worst part is they diverted these canon fodders from the frontlines tthey were desprately needed for a short lived pr campaign

  25. ❤️TRUMP❤️ AFGANISTAN/UKRAINE/BORDER/ECONOMY/INFLATION/HOUSING MARKET/ ETC.,ETC.,ETC., THE OTHER SIDE HAD THEIR CHANCE!!! BLACKS FOR TRUMP ONLY OBVIOUS OPTION 24 & RASMUSSEN GOT HIM WINNING❤️❤️🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

  28. Capture of Kursk NPP has always been just Zelenskyy pipe dream. Zelenskyy wasted 2,300 troops KIA, 279 armored vehicles, 15 artillery systems, 4 anti-aircraft systems on this another PR misadventure that makes zero military sense while vital Ukrainian positions at the actual front are falling apart. The same nutty pattern with Bakhmut, Krinky or a publicly announced failed Zelenskyy offensive in 2023. Zelenskyy is the gift that keeps on giving to the Russians.

  29. If they want aid they should just ask the United States for welfare checks, water, food, shelter and whatever else they need

  34. Kursk Russians made a large trap trap; they knew about the kraiian operation( they have satelittes) they wanted to attract theist Ukrainian forces to destroy them yingsou will see the following

  35. Zelenskyy Kursk misadventure already failed. Zelenskyy had a pipe dream to capture Kursk NPP. Capturing at such a staggering cost a string of villages in the middle of nowhere that can't be held makes zero military sense. Zelenskyy wasted so far 2,300 troops KIA, 279 armored vehicles, 15 artillery systems, 4 anti-aircraft systems on this another costly PR misadventure while vital Ukrainian positions at the actual front are crumbling. It's the same nutty pattern as was with Bakhmut, Krinky or a publicly announced failed Zelenskyy offensive in 2023. Zelenskyy is the gift that keeps on giving to the Russians advised by even nuttier DC gifts.

  41. People will believe what the media tells them to believe, George Orwell. The evil Zionist well pay with our Americans fools money and their forced dependent in their taxes return. The clown Vloodymir Zelloutsky, will make believe the ignorant masses. He will achieve what all Empires have failed to do. The best of the masses is their ignorance, Vladimir Lenin.
