Key civilian leader says attack on Russia’s Kursk region is first of ‘several stages’ in taking the fight to Moscow
Ukraine has captured more than 150 Russian prisoners of war on some days in the cross-border military operation that a key civilian official said was the first of “several stages” in taking the fight to Moscow.
Several videos have circulated of Ukrainians capturing prisoners of war, including at the border in the first hours of the incursion on Tuesday 6 August.
Though Ukraine has not spelled out its intentions, knocking out the three bridges over the Seym at Glushkovo, Zvannoe and Karyzh would complicate Russian reinforcement of a pocket of land to the west of the current incursion area – and improve Ukraine’s prospects of seizing the land if its progress continues.
At the end of last week, civilians in Sumy were asked to donate O negative blood, suitable for emergency transfusions for any blood type. The need was met “in one hour”, the official said, which “confirms that our people support this operation”.
