Ukraine has initiated a counterattack in the southern Russian border region of Kursk, with the Ukrainian presidency asserting that Russia is facing the consequences of its actions. The Ukrainian military had previously launched an incursion into Kursk in August and has successfully maintained control over much of the territory it seized, despite Russian and North Korean troops' attempts to push them back across the border.
In a brief Telegram post, the head of the Ukrainian Presidential Office, Andriy Yermak, stated that Russia is receiving what it deserves in the Kursk region. Andrii Kovalenko, the head of the Ukrainian Center for Countering Disinformation, confirmed that Ukrainian forces had executed surprise attacks against Russian forces in multiple locations.
