troops thought to be in their thousands have crossed up to 30 kilometres into the kursk region of western russia. our russia editor, steve rosenberg, has been monitoring the situation. i think the language is very interesting here because i was watching the flagship news show on russian state television last night and although they did use the word invasion, they said that ukrainian soldiers had invaded russian territory, most of all, this was being portrayed as a terrorist attack and a provocation. in other words, to an extent playing it down or trying to present to the russian people that what is happening right now in kursk region is containable. and also, i think that suggests that president putin right now doesn't want to take the next step, the next logical step, which would be, for example, a formal declaration of war against ukraine. we have this special military operation, as russia presents it, going on for the last two and a half years and i think the russian authorities want to keep it like that. they talk about special military operations, they talk about a counterterrorism operatio

troops and armored vehicles, let's take a look a map, how they stormed into the kursk region of western russia on august 6th, swiftly pushing through the russian defenses. in terms of the stats that we have over here, the troops involved on the ukrainian side is about 1,00, according to the ukraine, it has captured territory of up to 386 square miles and the settlements are roughly about 74 in terms of what we have on the stats, and uh this means that uh there is some offensive success there, well ukraine has also struck and damaged a third bridge in the kursk region and an even more dangerous attack it's has actually attacked a russian kersk nuclear power plant and that you see up there uh you can see the logo with a kamakazi drone which russia was able to bring down. now in the past week they've also struck several airfields and an oil depot. ukraine says one of the reasons behind the attack was to create buffer zone in order to protect settlements in the bordering sumi region from russian artillery attacks, reportedly more than 20 strikes. it also wants to relieve pressure on his forces els

russia does not abandon its own. such a clear message. westerncould not miss it as part of the exchange. putin has conveyed a clear, morale-boosting message to his security forces: that if you are caught, russia will bring you home, that those working abroad will receive maximum protection, and that if they are arrested , the state will fight to bring them back. for putin, those who returned to russia are real heroes, patriots who worked defended by the state. for the united states, as analysts note, the exchange is more of a show for the public to earn political points. the release of men and women is a success for the west, especially for us president joe biden's negotiators, the return of the famous journalist grishkovich, could help democrats in matters of public opinion ahead of the november presidential election. however, it is not only the american authorities who are trying to earn points both within the country and in the international arena. very difficult to conquer trusting other security services to share information, but gaining res

ukraine wanted to lift the restrictions on using western weaponry to hit targets inside russia, do you were to make a decision like that?- make a decision like that? well, i think... make a decision like that? well, i think--- you _ make a decision like that? well, i think... you see _ make a decision like that? well, i think... you see russia _ make a decision like that? well, i think... you see russia has - think... you see russia has absolutely no reaction at ukraine entering russia during territory. i think that is exaggerated. they perceive versions in different ways. from the position of their democracies and behaviour but not how russians behave usually. all dictatorships perceive any negotiation position as a weakness. they will continue to try to push. i think it is very logical to give ukraine permission to hit the targets in the long range because it will minimise losses, minimise investments we need from our partners for restoration, continuing this war, because we can substantially decrease the russian ability to control the air and to hit the actual ukrainian territory wi
