Days after Ukraine began a surprise military incursion into Russia`s Kursk border region, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has broken the government`s silence on it by indirectly acknowledging the ongoing military actions to `push the war out into the aggressor`s territory.` Zelenskyy`s comment came in his nightly address late Saturday. A fire in the vicinity of the Russian-occupied Zaporizhzhia Power Plant was reported by Ukrainian officials late Sunday. Local officials said it was a provocation by Russian forces and urged Western allies and the UN atomic watchdog to act.

Ukraine`s incursion into Russia continued for a sixth day Sunday. It`s the largest such attack since Moscow launched its full-scale invasion on February 24, 2022 and is unprecedented for its use of Ukrainian military units on Russian soil. Ukraine`s raid into Russia caught Moscow unaware and was an embarrassment to Russian military leaders who have scrambled to contain the breach. Evacuation of civilians living in Russia`s border areas with Ukraine continued Sunday. Russian state television aired footage of evacuees at a tent camp in the city of Kursk. According to the report by RTR, more than 20 temporary accommodation centers have been set up in the region.
