Ukrainian troops have apparently entered Russia’s Belgorod Oblast during the ongoing incursion into Kursk oblast, Ukrainian media reported based on a video published on the morning of Aug. 10.
In the video, posted by Ukrainian media, five uniformed men with blue tape armbands are standing outside the building as one of them says: “I wish you health, the 252nd battalion is in the village of Poroz, Belgorod Oblast. Glory to Ukraine!”
The soldiers in the video held the battalion’s flag and a Georgian flag, and the sign on the building behind them reads “Porozovsky Village Club.”
According to the Ukrainian media outlet Suspilne, the Ukrainian-based fact-checking project VoxCheck confirmed the video as filmed in Poroz, three kilometers away from the Ukrainian border.
The date of the video’s filming is unknown. It is also unknown whether it was a raid or an expansion of the ongoing cross-border incursion into Russia, Suspilne said.
Fuck yeah.
Only 6 h 33 mins from Moscow and GROND!!
Slava Ukraini!
If two oblasts have been infiltrated I think you can upgrade it from “Kursk incursion” to “incursion into Russia”.
Awesome! Fuck you, Putin.
As someone who only knows the basics about this conflict: are they holding a georgian flag because they are also partly occupied by russia?
I’m just guessing here, but typically those are flags of soldiers involved in this operation. I think that some of the soldiers involved (likely the ones holding the flag) are from Georgia.
The area will be renamed to NewZelenzkia. Great results putin! Only loosing 50 miles from ruzzia!? That’s incredible! What a feat of military somethingoroty! So when is Moscow going to be renamed Newkraine?
I support Ukraine and want them to crush Russia into a fine powder at every turn and so I’m not being facetious I’m genuinely asking:
Is this a suicide mission? How can these guys possibly get home. I feel like the deeper they go the lower and lower the chance of escape. Are they just going to bull in a china shop until they’re all dead? I wonder if there are any plans or hope for exfil so these guys can get home.
edit: a word
I assume there are units in the backlines so the incursion groups will get pushed back to Ukraine, not just encircled and killed
I remember Zelensky said something like “they can have Belgorod” when someone ask “what if NATO offers membership but under a condition of giving up some territory”.
I guess that joke is no longer too far-fetched.
I wonder if the Russian news is warning the civilians, or if they’re just being silent about it and letting them all be taken by surprise
