Ukraine is taking precautionary measures as it braces for a potential counter-attack from Russia following an offensive in the Kursk region. New fortifications are being built along the border between the Kursk and Sumy regions in anticipation of a possible Moscow incursion.
Russian lawmaker Maria Butina has accused the West of being involved in the Ukrainian offensive, claiming that they are “poking the bear” in a dangerous escalation. However, the United States and other Western supporters of Ukraine have denied any prior knowledge of the surprise attack by Ukrainian forces.
Tensions are high as Ukraine prepares for a potential backlash from Russia, with the situation remaining unpredictable. The international community is closely watching the developments in the region as the threat of conflict looms.

Judging from the comments, you guys don't understand a thing why this war is happening. Get informed, but be careful with your sources…start with Gorbachev-Bush/Baker agreement. Who ignored all those points? Look into Putins efforts to avoid the war, he kept on asking to stop NATO expansion otherwise he's forced to take actions…now we are here, and after Kursk the real war stars. When German tanks roll towards Kursk again, that's a brutal change.
Russia, Russians… you do realize you initiated this war, right? Sincerely, from Canada, we do not want to see this war escalate. No more blood needs to be shed. Simply terminate your offensive in Ukraine, withdraw, return the territory, and leave them alone. That’s all this war has ever required to end. You are the aggressor, Russia. You are receiving retaliation because you continue to kill innocent people in Ukraine. Nobody else in the world even wants this war. It’s unnecessary and it risks pulling the entire world into a dangerous war with the greatest consequences history has ever seen. We would all rather have our families, enjoy our lives, and live in peace. We should work towards establishing stronger connections and a stronger unity, everywhere in the world. We all want the same things, in the end. To live in peace and freedom.
who is this woman?! 🙂 and why she is talking on behalf of all the Ukrainians? I’m glad that after 2 years of invasion, the actual fighting is happening on the russian territory now!
Wow 😢
Bravo Russia
You death the same German France history in Russia
The bear has been paralyzed!
Noticed that tactical nuclear weapons (US via France to UKR) are finally entering the discussion and battlefield.
After two and a half years of outright war + 8 years of backstabbing “hybrid” warfare (without insignia, without flag, without any concern for rules of war) the ruZZian Reich 2.0 suddenly discovered the sanctity of international borders. LOL. 😐
The Russian Lawmaker interviewed is the same "Maria Butina" who was arrested for spying in the US by infiltrating the Republican Party and working directly with Trump's campaign to advance Russian goals.
Did she forgot who started war in the first place lady your words are full of lies please
How about putin bombing civilians and energy infrastructure in Ukraine. What about that maam that is not terrorism? Do you have videos to prove your claim that in fact ukraine bomb civilians home or have injured civilans?
Russian propaganda.😂😂😂
Poke the bear?
Russia better not poke the eagle.
The world’s only seen 15% of their power.
Western media leading the population like lemmings to ww3
😂😂
Russia commits crimes against humanity in Ukraine, purposely shelling schools and hospitals for example, and they portray that as completely justifiable but Ukraine sends troops into Russia and they consider thats terrorism? Can you say double standard?
This woman is sooooo backward.
Russia used to be called a 'bear', now, they are at best a pissed off weasel. And I'm being generous there. They might be really, just a panda bear these days.
The west is poking an old, dying bear trapped in cage whose teeth, claws and fur have fallen off
Really not good for Ukraine
Don't fall for the blame game
WW3
pookie the bear russia
See too highly of yourself
Украинцы скоро закончатся! Зеленский сказал , воевать до последнего украинца. А Россия останется.
What bear is Russia supposed to be? Winnie the Pooh?
That Russian lawmaker is telling lies, Ukrainians don’t kill civilian’s like the Russians do in Ukraine
lol
Sitting in US under airconditioning and talking about war. Keep it up.
Insane rusian woman
Was that russian lawmaker in coma since Jan. 2022 and woke up this week?
What goes around comes back around 😂😂😂😂☕️🇺🇸🇬🇧☕️👉🌎how the west was won 🏆 hya putin the guys or on your doorstep 😂😂😂😂😂check mate.
Why was a Challenger 2 Tank running top speed alone down a country road around Kursk? A single Tank. There can only be a few bad reasons :
1) all the other armored vehicles that were with it were destroyed.
2) the lone Tank is rushing to support another Ukraine/NATO Coalition unit that lost it's Tanks.
3) It's retreating to escape capture.
4) It's being followed.

Poking the Bear Cub
the sad thing here is that some are toying with human life for their personal gain, profit and benefit while not understanding that to mess with the russians is the only thing on the planet that nobody does, ever. the west has no idea what they have unleashed. sadly but surely, they will soon find out that sacrificing a nation for their fantasy is not a game. ten years from now all ukrainians will understand how they have been played into ending their nation for nothing of gain…all while the west and the russians will continue to coexist peacefully and safely in their prospective homelands.
Why are you covering this like this?
You show so much of her bleating propaganda that is all lies. The Ukranian forces have gone after MILITARY targets. They have NOT attacked civilian infrastructure. They have allowed citizens to evacuate or stay of their own volition. They have taken many prisoners of war instead of the Russian tactic of slaughtering the captured
"It changes the course of the war… They try to provoke Russia…"
The way you have structured this report makes it seem like Russia is a victim and are being wronged, but she said it herself:
"It changes the course of the WAR…", an unprovoked war of aggression by Putin, and being A WAR this is appropriate engagement, not terrorism.
Even your skewed reporting included the ACTUAL truth.
It DOES change the course of the war. Putin's end approaches.

Denmark has donated significant military equipment to Ukraine as part of support after Russia's invasion in 2022. Here are some of the most important donationsTanks. and Vehicles:
Over 100 Leopard 1 and 14 Leopard 2 tanks, i.e. a total of 117, they are modified tanks ready for battle.
CV90 infantry fighting vehicles. Number unknown.
Over 80 BMP-2 armored vehicles. These are toys for real men, all real men celebrate the New Year with them!
122 mm GRAD artillery rockets and 19 CAESAR 8×8 artillery systems, which we actually donated it away before we had even bought something new for ourselves! We have also donated 407 Stinger anti-aircraft missiles, security equipment, first aid equipment and a mobile hospital. Drones and small arms.
In addition, Denmark has also donated a financial support package of 5.8 billion Danish kroner (about 833 million dollars) to Ukraine, which includes ammunition for tanks, infantry fighting vehicles and anti-aircraft guns. Pretty crazy for such a small country as Denmark, and then everything has been donated, so they don't owe us anything! And if little Denmark can donate so much for free, think how quickly Russia will fall if France, Germany, Belgium, Spain and Holland and Poland would donate the same amount per population like Denmark, then that war would be over very soon, and the families and the involuntary soldiers finally find peace, so that the civilians and all the involuntary soldiers can finally find peace!
Lol they went in 12 km and western news are celebrating victory hahaha
Ukraine and collective west are beaten and in bankrupt!
Russia controls 100 percent this war!
Russia attacks Ukraine .. they are not terrorists ??
lol "poking the bear" Nah NATO ain't gonna poke the bear…because the bear may die. Too much headache for that.
So the only reason they tried pathetically to invade Russia was to take control of the nuclear power plant. To kill more civilians. They are now considered terrorists and will be dealt with quickly. You ppl defending Ukraine are akin to Nazi sympathizers if you knew anything beyond what the news tells you
having invested all of their civilization in this failed and miserable endeavour, the west will walk away wounded so to perhaps fight another day in the distant future. their people will soon be made to forget about this inflicted demise. the west will continue to be but at a dim shadow of the light that it once was. the russians, despite the victory and sacrifices made, will be tasked with the heavy hand and heart to manage the gains and turmoil which will take over throughout what was once uktraine. due to the geographic proximity, the russians will forevermore be tied to this conflict … not only to oversee it but also to ensure that any future threats never again arise from that region against them. they will be scarred, but the scar will heal so to leave behind a dim imprint; though not as visible as the wound which he west would have to live with. sadly, ukraine will become a carcass…a fossil lost in time to act as a reminder of what once thrived but which is now gone forever.
Everybody knows Russia destroyed Ukraine and murdered tens of thousands of Ukrainians.
lol that brainwashed ‘lawmaker’ has a very short memory.
Global loses all credibility by talking with the self-admitted Kremlin spy, Maria Butina, who pled guilty, was convicted and served prison time in the US before being deported back to Russia. Of course she’s going to regurgitate the official Kremlin propaganda line. Global had to know that. Pathetic!
Only when they 'poke the bear' in Moscow will the war start to end.
Seems like they don't want this war to stop. Must like the money laundering operation too much. Zelinsky needs a new yacht.
That woman knows exactly what she is doing, i cant even be mad at her as she does exactly what is here role.
