Russia has launched an offensive in the SUM region after, in April, it managed to reject the Ukrainian forces in the Russian region Kursk, which they partially occupied in the summer of 2024, writes News.ro.
On the Russian side, an attack with Ukrainian drones caused fires “in oil and energy installations” located in the Volgograd region, Governor Andrei Bocharov announced on Thursday.
The Russian army, which launched a large offensive against Ukraine in 2022, has accelerated its advance in recent months in the east of the country, in front of a less numerous and less well-equipped opponent, without making strategic progress.
The Kremlin forces occupy a total of about 20% of the Ukrainian territory.
