In a surprising turn of events, Ukraine has pulled off a daring invasion of Russian territory, seizing control of hundreds of square miles of land, capturing hundreds of prisoners, and dealing a blow to the Kremlin’s initial reinforcements.

I don't trust British journalists when it comes to war news. Can be totally distorted. Ukraine has a lot of pressure from British agencies and looks like they can sacrifice everything just for the media.
WSJ, please keep up with with new information, these is old news already!
Published 2 hours ago? The video and statements at the beginning are week out of date.
Just an observation,other far stronger and better lead armies have invaded Russia. They had victories in the beginning and lost miserably in the end.
But WSJ never told people how many US, UK, Ukraine died
They can't talk about it, but i am sure it is because they have Palantir software. Software defined battlefields are a game changer for modern warfare
Just imagine if the United States was in a war with Mexico that ended up lasting over 2 years, and suddenly there was a division of Mexicans heading towards Dallas. How embarrassing for Putin.
They didn’t pull it off. They don’t know what they’re doing doing and just hoping that they can stall for a ceasefire. Thank you BlackRock and Raytheon for continuing a stupid war.
Fun fact: Kursk, Briansk and Belgorod region was a territory of Ukraine before Russia annexed it 100 years ago (a lot of people still speak Ukrainian there) . Putin likes to talk about restoring historical justice. Here you go
Be careful – out of desperation Russia may use nuclear missiles to turn things around 🤔
SLAVA UKRAINI HAHA 😜
I love it 💙💛
Trap
Imagine what the US could do to Russia if Ukraine can take territory. Vlad is a con.
Liars ….those are not Ukranian soldiers …those are NATO soldiers………stop lying to us and using up our data with your lies.
Putin has long said a NATO supported Ukraine was a threat to Russia. The Zelensky/Biden invasion into Russia proves Putin’s warning to his own populace. This is the dumbest of decisions.
The Ukrainian invaders have been completely surrounded. Over 3000 dead so far. Few will return to Ukraine.
This is nonsense. The Ukraine has no aircover so they can't operate in daylight. Where's the little flags to show who's who? The videos are getting cheaper. 😀
So basically Ukraine is just shaking its rear end to get another paycheck and more equipment…pathetic
The only reason they’ve managed to hold on this long is thanks to the hundreds of billions of dollars from the west, and all the tanks, ammunition, firearms, air defense systems, etc. And not to mention all the intelligence and training provided by the best militaries in the world. Oh and don’t forget that Russia hasn’t really been trying either…
One way ticket. Everything got in will never get out.
This is getting dangerous. Where is Joe Biden and why is he or Kamala not negotiating for peace?
Ukraine is losing the war.
This is a great move to assist the Russian liberation of the Donbas area! The Ukrainian troops in the Kursk area can be mopped up later. 🇬🇧🇷🇺
What journal?
ยูเครนสู้ๆ ยูเครนทหารแท้ ทหารยูเครนกล้าหาญ
Republicans are allied with Russia against the western democracies. The Moscow Marge Republicans are furious that their Komrade Russia is a disaster.
This is a highly questionable military decision by Ukraine, one that could lead to significant losses. The most prudent course of action might be to consider surrendering in order to preserve what remains of the country."
Ukraine didn't invade russia, ITS JUST A SPECIAL MILITARY OPERATION!
Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare
A vote for Trump is a vote for Putin. Put Trump back in the White House and you can kiss Ukraine goodbye.
what millions of Germans and French couldn't do only few Zaleski brigades will accomplish! The Pentagon spokesperson said they are still not clear about the purpose of this bravado and no one cares what price Ukraine pays for these offensives, which are questionable from military objectives.
Get your own news, not old news
Viva Ukraine
The reason it was a surprise is that Ukraine barely has enough troops to prevent the Russian offensive in the eastern provinces. This was an insane move to sacrifice men for some territory in Russia for the inevitable negotiations with Russia. Putin has told Zelensky that any peace talks are off the table now, so he must watch the AFU to fight and collapse or surrender in the next few months. If Zelensky had taken the peace deal offered by Putin over 2 years ago, he would have saved the lives of over 400k Ukrainian soldiers and the destruction of most major cities in Ukraine. He chose war instead.
Nice!!!!! So America STOP giving Zielinski Americas money!!!!!!
Now Russia has the second best army in Russia 🇸🇪💕🇺🇦
200 billion dollars from USA , it’s all about money
Ukraine can’t win. They can maybe reach better terms at the cost of even more lives
Do the math. Sending 10,000 into Kursk out of 700,000 is not that big of a deal for Ukraine. They can keep going and force Russia to pull troops out of Ukraine or risk losing a lot of territory. This is a great move. Harris will keep support coming. Felon trump is finished and going to jail or seek asylum in Moscow.
Yep … they "pulled off" … but now they are pulling just decimated equipment & bodies.
I was surprised at the British Tanks Challenger 2 going their 1st time. It seems all NATO & EU is doing is just testing their new toys at the cost of Ukranian blood.
Maga in shambles
The Biden administration is arming Ukraine so they can invade Russian territory. Good way to start WWIII.
Trump will make Ukarine pay for for the service, as he already said that.

how does it feel Russians?
Slava Ukraine! 🇺🇦
Ardennes vibes
It was actually well-executed breakthrough. This was a really good coordination between Ukraine and it"s allies. First time that Russian territories were seized since WW2. We really live in some crazy times…
how? nazis
Slava ukraini
As Ukraine invades Russia, Kyiv’s troops are in trouble on the eastern front: https://on.wsj.com/4doL4EZ
