On Wednesday, the chief of the Russian General Staff, Valery Gerasimov, reported that the incursion has been halted by Russian forces, with the Ukrainian force losing over 300 troops and 54 armored vehicles, including at least six tanks.
Russian President Vladimir Putin has described the attack as yet another “large-scale provocation” and has accused Kiev of conducting “indiscriminate strikes” on civilians, residential buildings and ambulances.
At least four civilians have been killed in the attack and 28 have been injured in Ukrainian artillery and drone strikes on Sudzha, Kursk acting governor Aleksey Smirnov has said.
