A Vladimir Putin supporter has accused the United Kingdom of being behind Ukraine’s bold invasion of Russia. This week, a large convoy of Ukrainian tanks made its way into Russian villages in what has been described as a significant cross-border offensive that caught Putin’s forces off guard. Russian soldiers were seen surrendering their weapons after the invasion, and Ukrainian troops, along with tanks, were spotted inside the country, as shown in drone footage.
Thousands of troops are reportedly still holding onto territories in the Kursk region, supported by tanks and armored trucks. The region had to declare a state of emergency due to the invasion, leading to mass evacuations of civilians. Adalbi Shkhagoshev, a member of the State Duma Committee, claimed that Britain played a role in initiating and supporting the operation. He mentioned hearing English being spoken during the incursion.
In response to the invasion, Putin labeled it a “large-scale provocation” and expressed his embarrassment. General Valery Gerasimov admitted that a significant portion of territory had been lost during a meeting with Putin. The Russian military deployed Wagner troops to defend a crucial nuclear power station in Kursk, as Ukrainian forces advanced further into Russian territory.
As the situation escalates, Ukraine’s troops have reportedly moved 20 miles into Russia, nearing the town of Lgov, which is just 17 miles away from the Kursk Nuclear Power Plant. Reports suggest that Ukraine aims to seize or surround the power plant in an attempt to pressure Russia into surrendering Europe’s largest nuclear facility in Zaporizhzhia, which Putin has controlled since the beginning of the conflict.
In a shocking move, Ukraine dropped leaflets inside Russia featuring naked women in an effort to persuade Putin’s troops to surrender or face consequences. The leaflets contained messages urging soldiers to consider their families and choose life by surrendering. This unconventional tactic aims to weaken morale among Russian troops and encourage them to lay down their arms.
The ongoing conflict between Ukraine and Russia has seen multiple cross-border strikes by Ukrainian forces targeting Russian territories. These strikes, including ground assaults with tanks, troops, and long-range missiles, seek to stretch Russian forces, disrupt critical infrastructure, and strike unprotected areas. Despite these efforts, Russian forces have managed to push back the invaders and maintain control over the territories.
The situation remains tense as both sides engage in military maneuvers and strategic operations to gain the upper hand in the ongoing conflict. The involvement of external actors, such as the United Kingdom, adds another layer of complexity to the already volatile situation in the region. As the conflict continues to unfold, the international community closely monitors the developments and hopes for a peaceful resolution to the crisis.
