Ukraine sets up military office inside Russia | BBC News

Ukraine has set up a military administrative office in Russia's Kursk region, where its surprise incursion into Russian territory continues, according to its top military commander.

Gen Oleksandr Syrsky said the office would "maintain law and order" and "meet the immediate needs" of the population in the area.

In a video posted on social media, Gen Syrsky is seen telling a meeting chaired by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky that the office has been created "on the territories controlled by Ukraine".

Russian Defence Minister Andrei Belousov has said Moscow will send reinforcements to "safeguard" the population in the region.

Ukraine also claimed to have made further gains in its incursion on Thursday.

It's not the Ukrainian military in Kursk, it's little blue men. Referendum being held soon. Nothing to see here. 🇺🇦🔱

Putin doesn’t like the taste of his own medicine.

What's the big deal about Ukraine using British Tanks? Russia is also using Military Equipment from Iran, Russia and North Korea, in Ukraine.

Massive support should be given to Ukraine

I would pay to see Putin’s reaction when he was informed that Ukraine had set up their own office in Russia 😂

1:17 did not want British hardware used against "even Russian military targets". Say what? Why did they send it then? Please remove the ban on the Storm Shadow.

Ukrainan soldier to Zelensky: Mr. President, the Kremlin has been liberated.
Zelensky: I said, Crimea.

Ivan bots don't be angry it's just a special military operation 🙄

[williamdeasy]

The comments on here 😂,
You think this will end well for those involved.

1) Invade a neighbor.
2) Set up governing infrastructure.
3) Hold a "referendum".
4) Annex the occupied territory.

I mean, they've only got through Steps 1 and 2 at this point, but it seems like Ukraine's just following Vladimir Putin's plan for how disputes between neighbors should be handled. I'm not sure why he's so pissy about it.

Trump would weaken Ukraine's bargaining position in any future peace talks. I really hope he doesn't win.

[soviet_lemon]

Why does it matter that our tanks are being used? It is publicly known that we sent challengers to help Ukraine

[woolyimage]

Nice to hear the challengers are getting an outing !

[krmon]

Nothing to see here folks, just Ukraine doing some special military operations on Russian soil. 🤷

[TREVORALLMAN]

Not sure who advised the Ukrainian Nazis to engage in what is amounting to a suicide mission, as they have weakened their dwindling forces elsewhere, speeding up the liberation of the Donetsk, Luhansk, Kherson and Zaporozhye regions of the Russian Federation. It has been good for propaganda though, albeit briefly.

Ohh they're really pouring salt in the wounds.
