Russian reinforcements fail to push back Ukrainian incursion

Zelenskyy and troops speak on operation in Kursk region as it enters sixth day

Russia has failed to push back Ukrainian troops in the Kursk region despite sending in reinforcements as the incursion enters its sixth day, Ukrainian soldiers involved in its army’s operation told the Financial Times on Sunday. Speaking near the international border, the troops said they remained in Russian territory.

The country’s defence ministry said it “continues to repel” Ukrainian forces in the Kursk region and on Sunday listed three settlements located about 25km-30km from the border — Tolpino, Zhuravli and Obshchii Kolodez — where it said it had struck Ukrainian troops. Russia has deployed tank crews, artillery guns and drone units to the region after the Kremlin announced a “counter-terrorism” operation to try to halt the unprecedented Ukrainian operation.
