Putin Briefed on Ukraine's Surprise Incursion Into Russia

President Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine has unexpectedly given rise to a Ukrainian intervention across the border into Russia, to the evident embarrassment of the Kremlin leader. #putin #russia #politics #ukraine

The incursion by as many as 1,000 Ukrainian troops into the Kursk region that’s now in its third day caught out the Russian military. It’s the first time since World War II that another country’s army has invaded Russia.

A grim-faced Putin summoned his army and security-service chiefs for an explanation yesterday. Furious Russian military bloggers accused top officials of staggering incompetence.

European gas prices rose amid reports of fighting near a key Russian station on the last remaining pipeline route to Europe via Ukraine. So far, gas continues to flow. #putin #russia #politics #ukraine

Putin: Tehran, we will back you
Iran: Nah' we're good bro

[gerrysabourin]

Ukraine is just conducting a Special Military Operation

[dylanvinitamusic]

Do people ACTUALLY believe Russia is putting out this video for no reason at all? That Putin is receiving this information in real time and is releasing his genuine reaction to the entire world for absolutely no reason? 😅

[markh]

You can see Vladimir’s blood pressure just spiking, I wonder who in that room fell out of a window after this meeting

[jeffreythompson]

This needs to stop for the Russians as well as the Ukrainian people.

[GGNH]

Russia, just go home and end the war.

[jacobs]

Bet China are rubbing their hands ready for a land grab in eastern Russia 😂

[jc_boy]

The fact Putin keeps fidgeting, Ukraine really got to his nerves 😬

[SuperBoris]

Looks like Hitler when heard about "Steiner attack" 😁😁😁

[bmbphotoman]

Putler is a stain on the world. A sad war criminal gripping on a soviet past. I feel bad for the Russian people that deserve such a better leader.

[busi]

Lol ... Vladimir putin is now tired of the special military operation. 😂😂

[christiaancoetzee]

Its not an incursion, its merely a special military operation. Anybody calling it an invasion must be sentenced to a million years in jail.

[burgblick]

How does it feel like Putin to be invaded?

[noodles]

Putin looks unwell. I guess thats what happens when you only have yourself as a friend

[truth-lgxy]

Imagine invading a country only for them to pull your pants down 😂❤

[goaway]

He doesn't like it at all. The Russians didn't see this one coming. 😂

[paddyw]

He is a victim of himself, get out of this and find your own mental Peace

[tomjohnson]

Rather like his nuclear threats, where he forgets many other nations also have such weapons, his reaction to Russia being invaded seems out of place given he's spent the last two years invading Ukraine.

[royabrown]

Stop the special operation, it's not going according to plan.
