Ukraine said its major cross-border assault had advanced one to two kilometers (0.6-1.2 miles) in Russia’s Kursk region since the start of Wednesday and that its troops had finished clearing the Russian town of Sudzha of Moscow’s forces.
Kyiv blindsided Moscow by pouring thousands of troops into the western Russian region of Kursk last week.
“We continue to advance further in Kursk region.
Syrskiy said the Russian border town of Sudzha was fully under Ukrainian control.
The governor of Russia’s border region of Belgorod, Vyacheslav Gladkov, declared a regionwide state of emergency on Wednesday, citing continued attacks by Ukrainian forces.
