With the offensive entering a sixth day, Ukraine is gaining ground as fighting rages in the Russian territory of Kursk...thousands of Ukrainian troops have advanced up to 30km within the Russian border.
The unprecedent incursion by Ukraine is the largest since the start of Russia's invasion in 2022. It caught Moscow unaware and Russian military leaders have scrambled to contain the breach.
