Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says his country’s troops have taken full control of Sudzha, which would be the largest Russian town to fall under Ukraine’s purview since the start of its cross-border incursion more than a week ago.
They hope Putin will overreact and send “too many” troops there and then quickly retreat with minimal losses.
Apparently, the Ukrainians are surprised how far they made it, too. So maybe they hoped for a small distraction, got whatever this is and now are just winging it.
You don’t know what their plans are or what they “hoped” for. The truth it, Russia is sending missiles on Kharkhiv from Kursk. If nothing else, making it harder for Russians to shoot onto Ukrainian territory is a win in and of itself.
