Russian reinforcements failed to push back the Ukrainian military operation in the Kursk region.

Russia fails to push back Ukrainian troops near Kursk, despite sending reinforcements, as invasion enters sixth day - the FT article says. The publication cites the data of the Ukrainian military involved in the operation.

Ukrainian troops and equipment have advanced 30 kilometers inside Russia since the start of the operation on Tuesday, pushing on to Kursk and taking the town of Sudzha near the Russian border.

The publication quotes the words of a Ukrainian soldier (Denis, who has made three rotations to Russian territory since the beginning of the invasion).

"We are going deeper," he said.

Meanwhile, Russian General Valery Gerasimov has repeatedly tried to present the situation as being under control.

I'm enjoying watching the Russians moan in the media about Ukraine disrupting the "peaceful enjoyment of life" of Russian civilians in this region.

It's both a hypocritical statement, and such schadenfreude to see - at least all the Ukrainians are doing is conducting military operations - it's not like they are torturing, raping or forcibly displacing the Russian citizens, unlike the Russians in Ukraine.

Russia looks so vulnerable right now. Through this invasion, they have shown the world how weak and incompetent their military is. I am sure a lot of countries who were afraid of Russia aren’t anymore.

Yeah yeah they still have nukes but talking strictly about their military performance.

Ironically, if Ukraine was in NATO they wouldn't have gone inside Russia's border.

FSB is punching air right now.
