The clashes extended as far as the outskirts of Sudzha, a town of some 5,000 people about 10 kilometres from the border in the Russian region of Kursk.

Some 300 Ukrainian soldiers conducted an incursion across the border into Russia, engaging in combat inside Moscow’s territory on Tuesday, according to the Kremlin’s claims.

Members of Ukraine’s 22nd mechanised brigade launched an attack between the border villages of Nikolayevo-Daryino and Oleshnya in the Kursk region of Russia, supported by “11 tanks and more than 20 armoured fighting vehicles,” the Russian defence ministry said.

The clashes extended as far as the outskirts of Sudzha, a town of some 5,000 people about 10 kilometres from the border near Ukraine’s region of Sumy.

    Questions remain over the benefits of similar actions, aside from shock value and forcing parts of Russian troops to bolster their defences by moving troops from elsewhere.

    Aside from that, sure. I wonder why Euronews would be against Ukraine retaliating against Russia, other then the fact that it has been bought by an Orban linked company las year.

      They act as if forcing troop move is not good enough reason? Ugh

        “Now we simply cannot wrap our heads around why Ukraine would try to make Russia move troops from the frontline to go on the defensive on Russian soil! We simply do not understand!!”

      Well the border is a line, so… Yes?

        Is it the border though. All that got real undefined with the invasion and claims of all sorts of borders. Really the border is just where the war puts it at this point.

    It was not a cross border attack. It was a special military operation.

    But I thought Crimea was Russia. Wouldn’t that mean that Moscow has always thought they were fighting in their borders? /s

      From the linked Wikipedia article:

      In 2022 the network was bought by a company linked to the Hungarian government of Viktor Orbán. The acquisition was partly financed by funds from the Hungarian state.

        I would take that to mean that if anything, it’s a lot worse than is being reported on.

          Or they want to have others say: “I thought you were defending, why are you crossing the border” and so discredit the defending nation. As if cross border defense is somehow immoral in the face of total fascism and expansionism…

          My man, I grew up on Orbán-linked media, it’s usually much, much worse.

          The often cited law of headlines around any government action in Hungary is:

          If it is unclear why the government does something, you can bet it’s either theft, narcissism, or demagoguery. If it’s still unclear which, they are usually trying to steal something.

          Just saying as I know you’re from the US, it’s going to be much harder to get rid of once it takes root. Please vote and get them out now, or your grandchildren will still be directly paying the price, and I’m not even joking.

      Welp it’s official this bot is completely useless if not some kinda tankie disinformation tool. It’s always downvoted to oblivion and now blocked.
