Ukrainian troops are moving farther into Russia, Zelenskyy says, as cross-border incursion continues

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said on Wednesday that Ukrainian troops are moving farther into Russia, as Kyiv's biggest cross-border attack stretched into a second week.

The Ukrainian army entered Russia's Kursk region on Aug. 6, capturing dozens of settlements in the biggest offensive by a foreign army on Russian soil since World War II.

"In the Kursk region, we are moving further. From one to two kilometers (0.6-1.2 miles) in different areas since the beginning of the day," Zelenskyy said on social media, adding that Ukraine forces had captured more than 100 Russian soldiers.
