Kyiv has said its army was “inflicting losses” in Russia’s western Kursk region, where it had the day before.
“In the Kursk region we are confidently inflicting losses,” Ukraine’s land forces commander Mykhailo Drapaty said in comments to media in the eastern Donetsk region.
Moscow had acknowledged the incursion on Sunday, describing it as a “counterattack.”
This is Ukraine’s second offensive in the Kursk region, following a previous one last August, which started strong but has recently seen Moscow reclaim almost half of the occupied territory, with the help of soldiers from North Korea.
