According to some sources, a thousand soldiers and about twenty armored vehicles and tanks were used. “Russia brought war to our land and should feel what it has done,” he explained yesterday Zelensky. And the attack continues unabated: the Russian Defense Ministry reported that a total of 75 drones were shot down in the regions of Belgorod, Kursk or Lipetsk or on the annexed Crimean peninsula. News also from the Kursk region, where the emergency has gone from “regional” to “federal” level: “The army continues to repel the attempt of Ukrainian forces to penetrate deep into the Kursk region,” the Russian Defense Ministry said in a statement.
Kiev has reported that thousands of people are to be evacuated from border areas in Russia’s Kursk region. Referring to the numbers, Ukrainian police said that “about 20,000 people are to be evacuated” from 28 settlements in the Sumy region, a sharp increase from the previous estimate of 6,000 people. The pressure on Kremlin is quite high, so much so as to push Russian President Vladimir Putin to open a meeting of the permanent members of the Federation Security Council, announcing that he wanted to discuss a “very important issue concerning some aspects of the fight against terrorism”.
And theItalyWhat is Rome’s position on the Ukrainian offensive? The minister Guido Crosetto he took refuge in a corner. Interviewed by Radio Rai 1, the head of Defense stressed that the weapons that Italy has supplied to Ukraine can only be used from a defensive point of view: “The other weapons do not have the possibility of being used for an attack against Russian territory, but I cannot provide technical details”. Crosetto then stated that Ukraine is not trying to invade Russia but is adopting a different defensive tactic. Italy insists on the cessation of Russian aggression and restoring the rules of international law, Crosetto continued: “If we want peace we must not encourage other prospects of war”, he reiterated. Updates will follow.
