In the war between Russia and Ukraine that has been going on for more than two and a half years, the Ukrainian army has given a big blow to Russian President Vladimir Putin. The Ukrainian army is conducting operations inside Russia, which has stunned Moscow. The Ukrainian army has penetrated 30 kilometers inside Russian territory. Ukrainian soldiers are hoisting their country’s flag on buildings inside Russia. This is the most difficult time for top Russian military officials and they are trying their best to deal with it. How big an embarrassment this is for Putin can be understood by the fact that for the first time since World War II, the army of another country has entered Russian land.
The weakness of the Russian army has come to the fore
Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky has officially confirmed the entry of Ukrainian military forces inside the Russian border. At the same time, the Russian Defense Ministry said that its military forces have clashed with Ukrainian soldiers near the villages of Tolpino and Obshchi Kolodez. This unexpected move of the Ukrainian army has surprised both Russia and Ukraine’s allies. Ukrainian officials remained silent about the operation for several days until photos, videos and reports of Ukrainian soldiers inside Russia surfaced. This attack by Ukrainian military forces has exposed Russia’s military weaknesses since the Russian invasion.
Embarrassment for Putin
Moscow is making every effort to cover up this attack, which has become a huge embarrassment for Putin. Russian officials have launched an operation in Kursk and two other border areas. Thousands of people have been evacuated from Kursk. Ukraine has targeted Russia’s border areas in air strikes several times, but this is the first time through the Kursk operation that Ukrainian military units have entered Russian territory. Surprisingly, on Sunday, for the sixth day, Russian soldiers were unable to stop Ukraine’s advance.
Ukraine’s flag in Russia
Footage has emerged in which the Ukrainian armed forces are seen laughing in a village in the war-torn Russian region. In a video, a Ukrainian soldier walks up to a building carrying his country’s flag and hands it over to his fellow soldier standing on the wall. After this the soldiers hoisted the flag of Ukraine on the building. During this time the Ukrainian soldiers threw the flag of Russia on the ground.
