A Russian military blog describes Ukrainian units entering village after village to stage ambushes against arriving Russian reinforcements.
Ukrainian videos emerge of troops controlling gas facility.Russia moved extra tanks, artillery and rocket systems to its southern Kursk region on Friday as it battled a shock incursion by Ukraine’s military, while Ukrainian forces posted a video purporting to show them in control of a town near the border.
The head of the UN International Atomic Energy Agency urged both sides to show restraint in view of the conflict’s proximity to the station, 60 kilometres from the border. Interfax news agency quoted the ministry as saying that Russia was sending in columns of reinforcements with Grad multiple-launch rocket systems, artillery and tanks.
Ben Barry, land warfare analyst at the International Institute for Strategic Studies, said that while Ukraine’s wider strategic goals were unclear, it had exposed Russian shortcomings and overturned the conventional wisdom that neither side could advance without heavy losses. On Wednesday, Russian military chief Valery Gerasimov said up to 1000 Ukrainian troops were participating in the attack.
