Moscow's defence ministry says it rushed troops and aviation units to the southwestern region of Kursk after Ukrainians tried to attack Russian positions inside the border
Vladimir Putin has desperately sent troops to repel hundreds of soldiers, tanks and armoured vehicles that have stormed across Russia 's border in what Moscow claimed was a Ukrainian attack.
Intense footage appeared to show explosions hitting the ground from a driver's window some eight miles inside the Russian border today. The defence ministry said the attack was focused on the settlements of Nikolaevo-Darino and Oleshnya - just across from Ukraine's northeastern Sumy region. Ukrainian forces said there was 'cynical shelling' of border settlements in the Sumy and neighbouring Chernigiv regions.
It said Russia was using warplanes to strike Ukrainian armoured vehicles, and had moved its own reserves into the area of the fighting.
