Russia says its forces have recaptured 10 settlements after it launched a counteroffensive in the Kursk region to push out Ukrainian troops who stormed across the border five weeks ago.

With fierce fighting continuing, Russia’s defence ministry listed the names of 10 settlements it said it had retaken, in a significant blow to Kyiv. Ukraine’s president, Volodymyr Zelenskiy, acknowledged a Russian counteroffensive had begun.

It follows Ukraine’s surprise cross-border attack last month into western Russia. Zelenskiy said his armed forces had anticipated Russia’s assault this week and the operation was still going to plan.

    The US won’t allow Ukraine to defend itself, but will allow, arm, and fund Israel’s genocide?

    How fucking shameful.

      War is profitable.

      No matter what happens, Isreal will keep arming itself with the newest new. If either side wins in Ukraine, it kills a good ‘milk cow’.
