An MoD analysis of the offensive inside Russia's Kursk and Belgorod regions said Moscow's defences were not prepared - but warned that forces had been redeployed
In the past three months Russia has suffered its worst casualties of the warUkraine's advance into Russia has left Vladimir Putin's border defences in 'disarray', the Ministry of Defence said yesterday.
Russia has accused Nato and the West of aiding Ukraine's incursion, including by allowing the use of military equipment and weapons. Mykhailo Podolyak said: 'We need to inflict significant tactical defeats on Russia. In the Kursk region, we clearly see how the military tool is objectively used to convince the Russian federation to enter into a fair negotiation process.'
Meanwhile, Ukrainian officers fighting in the Kursk offensive have implored Britain to green-light the use of Storm Shadow missiles to strike targets deep into Russia. Several Challenger-2 tanks are believed to have forged across the border as part of the invasion force - though Russian military bloggers gloated yesterday that drones had successfully destroyed one of the British-made vehicles used in the offensive.
