Apparently caught by surprise, Russia by Sunday had stabilised the front in the Kursk region, though Ukraine had carved out a sliver of Russian territory where battles were continuing on Monday, according to Russian war bloggers. Russia has imposed a sweeping security regime in the Kursk, Bryansk and Belgorod regions while Russian ally Belarus said it was bolstering its troop numbers at its border after Minsk said Ukraine had violated its airspace with drones.
Kyiv broke its silence on the attacks on Saturday when President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said Ukraine had launched an incursion into Russian territory to “restore justice” and pressure Moscow’s forces.Russia destroyed five drones over Belgorod overnight, 11 over Kursk and two over Voronezh, according to Russia’s defence ministry which said it was repelling Ukrainian attacks inside Russia. It listed considerable heavy weaponry including tanks which it said it had destroyed.
