Pro-Ukrainian forces have conducted incursions into Russian territory, seizing a village in Kursk. Various pro-Ukrainian groups, with tanks and drones, claimed to have taken control of the village. Although Russia denies this, clashes are ongoing. This action is reminiscent of a similar event in 2023 when Ukraine was in a more favorable position militarily. The current incursions seem aimed at influencing the Russian presidential election and showcasing an alternative to Putin. While unlikely to have a lasting impact, these raids serve as diversions pushing Russia to allocate resources, demonstrating Ukraine’s disruptive capabilities.
