Ukrainian Incursion into Russia

Ukrainians have successfully invaded parts of Russian territory, specifically capturing around 1,000 square kilometers in Kursk province. This incursion is strategically significant as it disrupts Russian supply lines and puts pressure on the city of Belgorod, a key logistical hub for Russian forces. By destroying bridges over the River Sem, the Ukrainians limit Russian reinforcements, forcing them to rely on less effective pontoon crossings for resupply. The scale of the territory captured by Ukraine is notably greater than what Russia has achieved in the ongoing conflict over the past 18 months.
