Russia is currently bolstering its defenses in response to Ukraine's surprise attack on the southern Kursk region. US officials have reported that Russia has redirected thousands of troops from occupied Ukrainian territory to counter the threat. President Vladimir Putin has resorted to deploying conscripts, breaking a previous promise not to use them on the frontline.
Satellite imagery has revealed a substantial trench dug near the town of Selektsionnyi, approximately 45 kilometers from the border in Kursk. Job advertisements for trench diggers have surfaced online, offering weekly payments.
