More Russians are urged to flee Ukraine’s cross-border attack as the Kremlin scrambles to respond
KYIV, Ukraine — An official in the Kursk border region of Russia on Monday urged more residents to evacuate due to the “very tense situation” in the area, where Russian forces are still scrambling to respond to a surprise Ukrainian attack after almost a week of fierce fighting.
Ukrainian forces swiftly rolled into the town of Sudzha about 10 kilometers over the border after launching the attack. They reportedly still hold the western part of the town, which is the site of an important natural gas transit station. The advance has delivered a blow to Putin’s efforts to pretend that life in Russia has largely remained unaffected by the war. State propaganda has tried to play down the attack, emphasizing the authorities’ efforts to help residents of the region and seeking to distract attention from the military’s failure to prepare for the attack and quickly repel it.
He noted that while the military has set up minefields in the border region, it has failed to deploy enough troops to block enemy raids. He said that “if the Ukrainians are going to advance any further from where they are now, it’s going to be a tough battle, unlike the opening moments of this offensive.”
