- Ukrainian forces say they’ve blown up a second strategically-significant bridge in the Kursk region of Russia as Kyiv continues its incursion.
- Moscow has yet to mount a robust response to the ambitious cross-border operation.
- As many as 5,000 Ukrainian soldiers are taking part in the incursion into Russian territory that began almost two weeks ago, the Wall Street Journal reports. Kyiv claims it has taken control of 82 settlements in the region over an area of 1,150 square kilometers (444 square miles) since the border raid began.
No, the territory occupied by Ukraine is small compared to the territory occupied by Russia.
But it also shows how thin Russia is spread. It’s basically an embarrassment to them.
