Putin met with his top defense and security officials to discuss what he called the “indiscriminate shelling of civilian buildings, residential houses, ambulances with different types of weapons.” He instructed the Cabinet to coordinate assistance to the Kursk region. The fighting is about 500 kilometers from Moscow.
If confirmed, the cross-border foray would be among Ukraine’s largest since Russia launched its full-scale invasion on Feb. 24, 2022, and unprecedented for its deployment of Ukrainian military units. Even if Russia were to commit reserves to stabilize the new front, given its vast manpower and the relatively small number of Ukrainian forces engaged in the operation, it would likely have little long-term impact.
