The attack started over the weekend, with unverified footage circulated by Russian military bloggers showing a column of Ukrainian tanks and armoured personnel carriers heading towards the village of Berdin, a small area outside of what Ukraine currently controls in Kursk. The head of the Ukrainian presidential office, Andriy Yermak, said: “Kursk region, good news, Russia is getting what it deserves.” Andrii Kovalenko, the head of the Ukrainian Centre for Countering Disinformation, an official body, said Ukrainian forces had launched surprise attacks against Russian forces in several locations across Kursk. Russian forces, with the help of around 11,000 North Korean troops, have been successfully shrinking Ukraine’s partial hold on the Kursk region since Kyiv launched the daring cross-border assault on 6 August last year. US secretary of state Antony Blinken described Ukraine’s partial control over the Russian border region as key to any possible future negotiations with Russia during a visit to South Korea over the weekend.
