Moscow reported a cross-border raid into its Kursk region on Tuesday, with heavy clashes continuing on through Wednesday.
Russia has lost two helicopters and two main battle tanks in its efforts to fend off a cross-border raid into the Kursk region, reports suggest, as Russian sources suggest Kyiv's forces encroached several miles into Russian territory during the surprise assault.
A prominent Russian blogger said on Wednesday that Ukraine had 'managed to take control of several more settlements,' after it had become 'clear that it was impossible to dislodge the foe forces from the territory they had occupied.''The situation in the Kursk region at the moment really turned out to be much more serious than it might seem at first glance,' the popular WarGonzo channel, believed to be run by Kremlin-linked propagandist Semyon Pegov, wrote on Wednesday.
