Russian officials, including President Vladimir Putin, accused Ukrainian troops of crossing the border into the Kursk region, marking the possible first incursion of its kind by Ukraine in Russia since the start of the war.
Ukrainian forces “attacked the positions of the units covering the State Border of the Russian Federation in the areas of the settlements of Nikolayevo-Daryino and Oleshnya in the Kursk region” near the Russian–Ukrainian border, north of Kharkiv in Ukraine, said the Russian ministry in a social media post on Tuesday.
