KYIV: Russia and Ukraine both reported new battlefield gains on Thursday, with Kyiv hailing the capture of another village on Russian soil but hundreds of Ukrainians fleeing the eastern city of Pokrovsk as Russian forces advance on it.
In this photo taken from video released by Russian Defense Ministry press service on Thursday, Aug 22, 2024, a Tor M2 anti-aircraft missile system drives in an undisclosed location. , President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced the seizure of a new village that he did not name and said the incursion had helped reduce Russian shelling of the northeastern Sumy region.
He said that to force Russian troops out of Ukrainian territory, the Ukrainian military should"create as many problems as possible" on Russian territory. "Everyone is in panic, people are running away," Liudmyla Sydorenko told Reuters on Thursday as she packed a 94-year-old relative's belongings into plastic bags at their apartment so that she could be evacuated.
President Vladimir Putin accused Ukraine of trying to strike Russia's Kursk nuclear power plant in an overnight attack and said Moscow had informed the UN nuclear safety watchdog about the situation. Military analysts say the incursion probably aims in part to divert Russian forces to ease pressure in the east, although there is no indication Russia has pulled troops from there.
