#Ukraine fighting 10k Russian troops in #Kursk region
Around 10k Russian soldiers are fighting in #Russia's Kursk region, about 90 square km of which is controlled by Ukraine, Ukraine's top military commander said.
"We control about 90 square kilometers of territory in the Hlushkov district of the Kursk region of the Russian Federation, & these are our preemptive actions in response to a possible enemy attack," Oleksandr Syrskyi said in remarks released by his office.
The #Ukraine military said the activity in this area prevented #Russia from sending a significant number of its forces to Ukraine's eastern region of #Donetsk, where some of the heaviest fighting has taken place in the more than three-year-old full-scale invasion.
Syrskyi's troops are repelling Russian forces along the frontline, which stretches for about 1,200 km, where the situation remains difficult, the Ukrainian military said.

The image is a meme featuring a series of panels that humorously depict the internal struggle of procrastination. The first panel shows a silhouette of a head with a red scribble-filled brain, accompanied by the text "I just need to get started." The second panel features a person lying in bed with a thought bubble saying "I just need to get moving." The third panel presents a circular flowchart with arrows pointing to phrases like "just start," "just go for it," "just take the first step," and "just get the ball rolling," illustrating the cycle of motivational phrases. The fourth panel shows a stick figure standing in a doorway, asking "Are u okay bro?" while the person in bed responds with "yes I just need to get started." The final panel shows the person in bed with a scribbled mess, emphasizing the ongoing struggle. The image humorously captures the common experience of needing to start a task but being unable to overcome the initial inertia.
