As Ukrainian forces staged an incursion into western Russia, this house was damaged in the town of Sudzha. The photo was released by the acting governor of Kursk region, Alexei Smirnov, on his Telegram channel on Tuesday. Russian military officials say some 1,000 Ukrainian troops have entered Russia.The Ukrainian soldiers crossed the country's northeastern border Tuesday and now appear to be several miles inside Russia’s Kursk region, where they are operating in several villages.
Ukraine is not commenting on the current developments, and many details remain sketchy. In an interview with NPR, Mykhailo Podolak, one of the top advisers to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, declined to provide any specifics. Poldolak acknowledged Ukraine is having a tough time in eastern Ukraine, where Russia has seized a number of villages in recent weeks. While no single village is critical, the Russian offensive has gained momentum in a war where the frontline has changed little over the past year.
Secondly, the Russians have far greater airpower and are deploying as many as 250 jet fighters and bombers in frontline areas, according to Podolyak.
