Ukraine’s incursion into Kursk advanced a few kilometres further today, according to its army chief, though Moscow claims to have repelled attacks in numerous areas and has dug defensive trenches in order to slow Ukraine’s progress.
The aim of the attack on Kursk was to force Russia to the negotiating table for peace talks, an aide to Ukraine’s President Zelensky said, but the conflict shows no signs of letting up with more fighting in eastern Ukraine and Russian forces pushing further towards Pokrovsk.
We also heard that the US would be announcing a new package of aid to bolster Ukraine’s war effort.
