The article discusses the recent invasion of Russia by Ukraine, which took place in the Kursk region. The Ukrainian army crossed the Russian border with about 10,000 fighters and now controls a significant area, including 92 villages and the town of Sudzha. Sudzha is an important logistical hub for supplying the Russian army on the Ukrainian front and is also crucial for the gas pipeline that delivers gas to Eastern Europe. The invasion has surprised many, including Western leaders, and has created anger in Russia, benefiting President Putin. However, it has also given Ukraine a political win and the ability to build defensive infrastructure in the occupied territory. The article suggests that the conflict is escalating and that major players in the world are concerned about the situation. [Extracted from the article]
