In a significant escalation of the Ukraine-Russia conflict, Ukrainian forces launched a major incursion into Russia's Kursk region, marking the deadliest attack on Russian soil since World War II. This bold move by Kyiv has led to over 100,000 civilians fleeing the area and has put the Kremlin in a defensive position. Russian President Vladimir Putin has declared that there will be no more peace talks, framing the incursion as an attempt by Ukraine to halt Russia's offensive in the Donbas region and to gain leverage for future negotiations. Despite the surprise and scale of the attack, Putin remains confident that Russian forces will ultimately prevail. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has justified the incursion as a 'fair response' to nearly 2,000 cross-border strikes launched from the Kursk region into Ukraine, signaling a potential shift in the dynamics of the ongoing conflict.
