Russia has declared a state of emergency in its Kursk region after Ukrainian forces apparently managed to advance almost 20 kilometres from the border.

Moscow claimed a thousand Ukrainian troops backed by tanks and armoured vehicles had crossed over the border, while video has emerged purportedly showing dozens of Russian soldiers being captured.

    Putin calling this operation an escalation is the most ironic moment of 2024.

    Ukraine has NOT invaded Russia. Ukraine is defending itself against a full blown invasion by Russia... If a victim of bullying decides to fight back, he himself is NOT a bully!!
  • Putin : how's the invasion of Ukraine going? Gherasimov : you mean the defense of Kursk? Putin : the WHAT?

    Ukraine are just running a special operation its peaceful
  • Congratulations to the people of Kursk people's republic for voting 98.9% to join Ukraine
  • What a bus. Life. Russia can modernize its infrastructure and leave Ukraine alone.

    Ukraine is helping to liberate the Kurak People's Republic

    Don't mind them, it is just a special military operation.
  • Ukraine are liberating the oppressed people of Kursk who asked Ukraine to help them against the ‘Moscow nazi regime’. It’s a special military operation
  • Ukraine should occupy Russian territory, so after a ceasefire, Ukraine has something to exchange with Russia. India did the same with Pakistan in the 1965 war. When Pakistan was gaining ground in Kashmir, India opened a front in Rajasthan and got close to Lahore. When Russia declared half occupied land of Ukraine as a part of Russia , means its okay for Russia to accept Ukraine invasions in Russian territory. 😂😂.
  • “He was driving around, minding his own business.” I don’t think the average Russian knows what “minding their own business” even means…
