Putin promises to eliminate the enemy as Ukraine advances further into Russian territory

The Kremlin has sent reinforcements to the Kursk region where Ukraine has reportedly lost around 1,600 troops in ongoing battles. Putin stated that Ukrainian losses are increasing. There are reports of Ukrainian troops inside Russia, with images showing flags being replaced in settlements on the border. Tens of thousands of people have been evacuated from border communities in Kursk, with more evacuations announced in the Belovsky district. The governor of the Belgorod region warned of rising enemy activity and began evacuating people. Putin warned of possible attacks in other Russian border regions. Both sides accused each other of endangering Europe’s largest nuclear plant after a fire broke out at the Russian-controlled Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant. Ukrainian President Zelenskyy claimed Russian forces started the fire, while Moscow blamed Ukraine. The International Atomic Energy Agency confirmed that radiation levels remained normal despite the incident. The ongoing conflict in Kursk and the nuclear plant fire are damaging Putin’s internal standing, with concerns about further destabilization in neighboring regions. The situation remains tense and unpredictable as both sides continue to accuse each other of aggression.
