Ukraine has claimed the capture of a significant gas transit point, Sudzha, during its largest incursion into Russian territory in a decade. This offensive, which has lasted four days, marks the most ambitious attack by Ukrainian forces since the onset of the full-scale invasion by Russia in 2022. The operation aims to divert Russian troops from the eastern front, expose vulnerabilities in Russia's military, and strengthen Ukraine's negotiating position. In response, Russia declared a state of emergency in the Kursk and Lipetsk regions, where intense fighting has occurred. Ukrainian forces have reportedly advanced up to 35 kilometers into Russian territory, utilizing U.S. and German military equipment. Concurrently, Ukraine conducted drone strikes targeting Russian military logistics, including an airbase in Lipetsk, which allegedly resulted in significant damage to munitions and aircraft. The situation has escalated tensions, with Russia retaliating by attacking civilian areas in Ukraine, resulting in casualties. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy acknowledged the efforts of his troops, emphasizing the importance of their actions in the broader context of the war. Analysts suggest that this operation was meticulously planned to disrupt Russian military operations and to demonstrate Ukraine's capability to strike deep into Russian territory.
