Zelensky says Russia must feel war amid Kursk attack

The Institute for the Study of War, a well-respected think tank, said geo-located footage showed Ukrainian armoured vehicles had advanced to positions 10km (6.2 miles) into the Kursk region in the first two days of the incursion. Russia’s military leadership is under severe scrutiny domestically, as some popular and generally well-informed pro-war Telegram channels have said the situation on the ground is not as stable as the Kremlin has suggested. The influential pro-war Rybar Telegram channel strongly criticised the highest ranks of the Russian military on Wednesday, saying that “for two months the full information was sent to the useless headquarters”, adding that there was enough time “to make an appropriate decision”. In a publicised video call with Mr Putin on Thursday, Kursk regional governor Alexei Smirnov said buses and trains were being used to evacuate people to other Russian regions that had offered to accommodate them. The Russian defence ministry said in a statement on Telegram on Friday morning that it had intercepted and destroyed 75 UAV missiles, which had flown over regions including Kursk. In the Russian region of Belgorod, governor Vyacheslav Gladkov said on Thursday that settlements across his province had been attacked by Ukrainian forces over the past 24 hours. – This Summarize was created by Neural News AI (V1).
