Ukraine said on Monday it had asked the United Nations and the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) to join humanitarian efforts in Russia’s Kursk region following a cross-border incursion by Ukrainian forces.

Ukraine’s army remains in the Kursk region more than a month after launching the assault, in which President Volodymyr Zelenskiy says Kyiv has taken control of about 100 settlements. Russia’s Defence Ministry said on Monday its forces had regained control of two more villages.

“Ukraine is ready to facilitate their work and prove its adherence to international humanitarian law,” (Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii) Sybiha said on X after visiting the Sumy region, from where Ukrainian forces launched the cross-borer attack.

    Zelenskiy is an incredible leader. By his actions he’s shining a light on the greed and dumbfuckery too many other world leaders engage in.

    Looking at you Putin, Xi, Modi, Maduro, etc etc
