#Ukrainian forces never intended to seize the #Kursk #nuclear power plant in Russia’s Kursk Oblast following Ukraine’s #incursion into the region in early August, President Volodymyr Zelensky said during an interview with Nordic media on Oct. 30.

#Moscow has repeatedly accused Kyiv of attacking or planning to attack the plant since the start of the Ukrainian incursion in Kursk Oblast, which Ukraine has flatly denied.

Bodies decomposing in the street. Bullet-marked civilian cars lining the road. Half of Lenin’s face blown away from the statue on the square. Streets littered with shrapnel. Locals huddling in a bomb shelter.

The smell of death, in buildings torn open.

It is a scene achingly familiar to #Ukraine, yet until now alien to #Russia.

The #RussianAirForce has redirected much of its firepower at the Ukrainian #KurskIncursion corps—lobbing as many as 50 KAB #GlideBombs every day at the corps’ bases in #SumyOblast, right across the border from Kursk.

But #Ukraine has an air force, too—and satellite-guided glide bombs with at least as much range and precision as the Russians’ KABs.

#Russia has asked #Belarus to transfer some of their equipment after #Ukraine's successful #KurskIncursion, as it faced an acute shortage of weapons there and in other areas.

While back in 2022, #Lukashenko was able to transfer equipment to Russia from warehouses, now he is forced to give away equipment from his active military units.

#Russia’s army had said about 1,000 Ukrainian troops were deployed in the cross-border incursion that began on Tuesday and appeared to catch the #Kremlin off guard, allowing #Ukraine’s forces to penetrate Russian defensive lines.

Asked whether the 1,000 figure was correct, the official said: “It is a lot more … Thousands.”

“The unfolding events demonstrate the extent to which #Moscow has deeply depended on sanctuary in Russian territory to wage its war against #Ukraine,” Barros told CNN. “#Russia has undermanned its borders and border fortifications, relying on its perception of safety because it has not felt vulnerable.”
