Ukraine's recent incursion into Russian territory has sparked a significant escalation in tensions between the two countries. The unexpected move has caught Moscow off guard, with tens of thousands of Russians fleeing their homes as Ukrainian troops continue to advance into Russian territory.
This incursion, the first of its kind since World War II, has proven to be a major embarrassment for the Kremlin. Despite Russian President Vladimir Putin's vow to expel the enemy, Ukrainian forces have not halted their advance.
