Surprise Ukrainian incursions into Russian territory shock everyone – FRANCE 24 English

The recent incursions by Ukrainian forces into Russian territory near the border region of Kursk have caught many off guard, including Russian officials who have since implemented increased security measures in the area. According to FRANCE 24’s Ukraine correspondent Emmanuelle Chaze, these incursions have “taken everybody by surprise”, marking the first time that the conflict between Ukraine and Russia has spilled over onto Russian soil.

Chaze noted that this unexpected turn of events highlights the lack of preparedness on Russia’s part for such incursions. The fact that Ukrainian forces were able to breach the border and enter Russian territory demonstrates a significant security breach that Moscow was not adequately equipped to handle.

The escalation of tensions in the region has raised concerns about the potential for further clashes and the impact it could have on the already strained relationship between Ukraine and Russia. The incursions have underscored the ongoing conflict in Eastern Europe and the volatile nature of the situation.

As both sides navigate the aftermath of these incursions, the international community will be closely monitoring the developments and hoping for a peaceful resolution to the conflict.
