In a fierce battle along Russia's border in the Kursk region, Ukrainian forces have suffered heavy losses, with 660 soldiers and 82 armored vehicles destroyed in just three days. Russian troops, alongside border guards, have successfully stopped Ukrainian advances, but the situation remains tense. As the fighting intensifies, experts believe a major Russian offensive could be on the horizon. Despite the escalating conflict, the EU and US remain steadfast in their support for Ukraine, even as calls grow for the safety of civilians caught in the crossfire.
