1:01Now PlayingVladimir Putin abruptly interrupted an acting regional governor who said Ukraine’s military had taken control of 28 towns and villages in Russia’s Kursk border region, prompting a sixth of its population to flee. #politics #russia #putin #ukraine #zelensky #kursk
Ukraine had been weighing several possibilities for an attack that would shock the leadership in Moscow and put President Vladimir Putin on the backfoot before storming across the border last week, according to a Western official familiar with the planning.
With Ukraine’s military on the defensive and Kremlin forces securing marginal gains this year, a cross-border attack had been weighed for some time before the surprise incursion into Russia’s western Kursk region a week ago, the official said on condition of anonymity.
President Volodymyr Zelenskiy’s top commander now says the military has seized control of about 1,000 square kilometers (386 square miles) of the border region since the attack began, with Putin forced to grapple with more than 120,000 residents who’ve fled their homes as the incursion extends into a second week. The Institute for the Study of War put the Ukrainian advance at about 800 square kilometers.
