Russia has claimed to have recaptured territory in its western Kursk region, where Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky acknowledged Moscow’s troops mounting a counter-offensive after a surprise incursion by Kyiv. The attack caught Moscow off-guard, marking the largest foreign army intrusion on Russian land since World War II. While Russia has aimed to expel Ukrainian troops from the region, Kyiv continues to advance its Ukrainian plan. Ukraine seeks to use its territorial gains as leverage in negotiations with Russia, rather than annexing parts of its neighbor like Moscow did in eastern Ukraine. Meanwhile, the US is considering Kyiv’s request for more flexibility in targeting Russian positions with Western-supplied weapons. As tensions escalate, the International Committee of the Red Cross condemned attacks on aid workers in eastern Ukraine, labeling it as another Russian war crime. The conflict intensifies in the eastern Donetsk region as Russia cuts off essential supplies to key cities. The situation remains volatile as both sides maneuver for control.
