Russia has accused Ukrainian troops of crossing the border into its Kursk region, marking the first incursion of its kind from Ukraine. The alleged attack has put pressure on Moscow in an area largely unaffected by the two-year war.
The Russian Ministry of Defense, the Russian Investigative Committee, and the Russian Ombudsman for Children all claimed that Ukrainian forces launched a 'massive attack' on Tuesday, attempting to break through Russian defenses on the borders of the Kursk region, just north of Ukraine's Sumy region.
