Russian regions bordering Ukraine are increasingly targeted by Kiev, whose forces on August 6 launched a surprise raid on the territory of Kursk, near Belgorod.
Moscow announced in mid-August that it was deploying additional forces to Belgorod, where a state of emergency had been declared following the hasty evacuation of residents of five border villages since August 19.
According to the Ukrainian government, the attack on Russia — the largest invasion of foreign troops on Russian soil since World War II — was intended, among other things, to force Moscow to redeploy troops operating on the vast front in eastern Ukraine, which it did not do. seems to have come true, at least to the extent that Kiev expected.
