Ukraine takes the fight to Russia
It鈥檚 the biggest incursion since the war started.
For the first time since Russia invaded Ukraine two years ago, Ukrainian soldiers have advanced 30km inside Russia. President Zelensky says Ukraine is pushing the war onto "the aggressor's territory" in the Kursk region.
What could this mean for the war? Vitaly Shevchenko, one of the hosts of Ukrainecast and the Russia editor of 麻豆社 Monitoring, explains.
We also discuss a recent fire at the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, and why Ukraine and Russia have blamed each other for starting it.
