Russia continued evacuating residents from the Kursk region near the border with Ukraine.
MOSCOW - Russia continued evacuating residents from the Kursk region near the border with Ukraine on Monday, with the regional governor saying some 121,000 people had already left.
Ukrainian forces rammed through the Russian border last Tuesday and swept across some Western parts of Russia's Kursk region, a surprise attack that may be aimed at gaining leverage in possible ceasefire talks after the US election. In the neighbouring Belgorod region to the south, regional governor Vyacheslav Gladkov said evacuations had begun from the Krasnaya Yaruga District due to "enemy activity on the border".
Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2022 in what the Kremlin calls a "special military operation" and now controls 18% of Ukrainian territory. Russian forces, which have a vast numerical supremacy, have been advancing this year along the 1,000km front after the failure of Ukraine's 2023 counteroffensive to make any major gains.
Russian war bloggers said Ukrainian forces in Kursk were trying to encircle Sudzha, where Russian natural gas flows into Ukraine, while major battles were underway near Korenevo, about 22km from the border.
