Ukraine 'seizes more Russian territory' in biggest incursion since WW2 | BBC News

Ukraine says its troops have advanced further into Russia and captured more than 100 troops. It’s the biggest invasion of Russia by foreign forces since the Second World War.

The incursion into Russia's Kursk region began a week ago and took Moscow by surprise. President Putin has declared that the attack will be repelled.

"The west is poking the bear"
Sorry, no. The bear is mauling Ukraine and they've started using bear spray.

[garrettleatham]

"Don't poke the bear" means to not provoke it. If the bear is already attacking, then all is fair game!

[roseheimuli]

Don’t invade other countries because every country has the right to defend themselves.

[GirmaKassa-ipht]

Stop calling it an incursion. It's a special operation

[glennsuki]

Aww. Imagine getting invaded by the same people you invaded. How unfair

[IusedtohaveausernameIliked]

"Don't poke the bear" is the wrong analogy. When you are being eaten by the bear, it's time to fight back.

[nightshiftgarage]

Thousands of Ukrainian people have lost lives and everything they own. While those Russian woman complain about their shopping being interrupted and the thought of soldiers attacking terrify them!! Are you serious? Were they immune to what was happening to Ukraine???

[Ricky_Rozay]

You invade someone’s country and you think you’re untouchable

[leeworthington]

Starts a war of conquest, ends up getting conquered

[hiccuphufflepuff]

"Don't poke the bear."
The bear's been mauling Ukraine for over two years. Y'all are getting tranquilized.

[MrIrishscouse]

Ukraine: How do you like it now?

Russia: Not much.

[christophercarter]

🤣🤣 Russia = "OMG we're being invaded by a foreign force... HOW DARE THEY!" Ukraine = "Welcome to the war you started Russia!"

[eliasblum]

'Don't poke the bear'?! The bear came into Ukraine's tent. It's going to get poked hard.

[YeetyDelety]

Russia will blame anyone but themselves for their own downfall

[keenanvanzile]

Reporters need to stop telling us what they feel and just get straight the point in delivering the report.

[theotherone]

This isn't a Ukranian invasion. This is a special military operation.

[bultech]

The war actually started in 2014, not 2022 as stated by the reporter.

[morrisjones]

Interesting how these women didn't have any concerns when Ukrainian women were going through the same thing

[Kevin-fqzh]

from “kiev in 3 days” to undertaking an emergency “special evacuation operation”… ouch!

[mr.heisenberg]

The Russian bots are definitely crapping their pants now. 😂😂😂
