Russia struggles to repel incursion by Ukraine | DW News

Russia is sending more forces to its Kursk region in an attempt to repel a Ukrainian attack that is now in its fourth day. Russian state media say Moscow is deploying multiple rocket launchers, artillery guns, and heavy tanks to fend off one of Ukraine's biggest incursions into Russian territory since the war began. The attack has prompted Russia to declare a regional state of emergency. This video obtained by Reuters news agency allegedly shows a destroyed Russian military convoy in the Kursk region. According to Russian estimates, around one thousand Ukrainian troops and more than two dozen armoured vehicles and tanks were involved in the initial attack.

Russia is the second biggest superpower in Russia

Medvedev, from a Putin puppet to a world clown.

[patrolmanpete]

Russia could have had peace. Many Russian children could have still had their fathers. Russia asked for this.

[amedvedevs]

Medvedev is just as embarrassing as his nation’s army 😂

Ukraine's "Special Military Operation"

[sumcoolclips]

Ukraine should hold this land and use it as a bargaining chip against Russia in peace talks. And at the end of the day, war is not one sided. Russia invaded Ukraine, therefore Ukraine has the right to strike back. That’s how war works.

[gror]

1000 Ukrainians armed with Western gear create a new front line with ease inside Russia ...and when you think Russia was beating its chest that it can take NATO in case of war 🤣😂😂😂

[givememybaconplz]

Putin 2020 : no one can attack russia
Putin:2024: calling emergency meeting for attacking russia by ukraine 😂😂😂😂

[johnf]

Russia struggles to repel anything that fights back.

[utrinqueparatusman]

Russia is done for they need to get rid of Putin.

[ndjibukabengele]

Let’s go Ukraine, let’s do a referendum there and bring the kursk region back to Ukraine.

[JosephHoggang-bkbk]

How can there be "heavy fighting" when the Russian soldiers run away and the conscripts surrender?

[derekwilliamsgrace]

Any country has the right to defend and protect its territory and sovereignty by ANY MEANS .

[unifiedvision]

Ukraine's move is absolutely brilliant, now in addition to Putin being embarrassed and Russian troops having to be rushed to that part of the line, going forward Putin will also have to keep in mind that this type of raid might happen and leave more troops along his borders, when he is already short of troops apparently.

[theTimHernandez]

Ukraine should hold annex elections this weekend.

[Melrose]

Except for a few Republican politicians looking for media attention there is no loss of support for Ukraine in the US. I'd be amazed if there was any in Europe

[caboosej]

haha how does it feel russia ! how does it feel to get invaded by your victims?🤣

[garyoak]

Ukraine busting out the uno reverse card out here

[overland]

Christopher Morris, Ukraine isn’t a regime. It is a legitimate country fighting for its survival.

[amedvedevs]

Medvedev is just a joke 😂And yes I’m from Latvia and unfortunately I carry the same second name and thanks god we are not related
