Kursk

The Ukrainian military claims to have shot down a Russian fighter jet in Kursk, Russia, according to Ukrainian media reports. Kyiv also claims that since the start of operations on Russian soil, it has captured 100 prisoners of war.

The Ukrainian armed forces’ attack on the Russian city of Kursk is becoming a turning point in the two-year-plus war between Russia and Ukraine, potentially disrupting the previously established balance of power on the battlefield.

“It started in the early hours of Tuesday and resembled one of those attacks by the ‘Free Russia Legion’ that fights alongside Ukrainians,” says Clarke, referring to previous incursions by groups—rather than Kyiv itself—against the Kremlin.

"A Ukrainian drone is flying peacefully over Moscow. It seems that the Kremlin has a high chance of being in the affected area very soon. Fireworks planned for May 9?" he wrote alongside the published video. Newsweek could not confirm the authenticity of the footage.
