Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has declared ‘war is coming home to Russia‘ as battalions of tanks bearing a new, distinctive symbol roar deeper into Kursk, with the Russian death toll increasing dramatically, sources claim.
HIS DEFIANT DECLARATION
Delivering a defiant address Monday night, Zelensky said it was ‘only fair’ that his troops ‘kill the Russian terrorists where they are and where they launch their strikes from’.
‘Russia must be forced into peace if Putin wants to continue waging war so badly… This always happens to those who despise people and any rules – Russia brought war to others, and now it is coming home,’ he said stoically.
‘Ukraine has only ever wished for peace – and it will ensure peace.’
The president’s commitment to wreak havoc in Kursk was evident in footage from the frontlines which has seen Ukrainian tanks emblazoned with a white triangle surging through Russian fields.
The marking, likened to the infamous Russian ‘Z’ that became inextricably associated with Vladimir Putin’s so-called ‘special military operation’, first appeared on Ukrainian vehicles in June – reportedly as a way to avoid friendly fire.
WHAT RUSSIA THINKS
But it has since been painted on a host of Ukrainian heavy armour and is now seen as a sign of resistance in the face of Russian aggression.
Ukrainian commanders claim to have captured some 386 square miles of territory in just one week since their incursion began, as Kyiv’s soldiers scythed through Russian units caught completely unawares.
Several Russian warblogging channels claim huge numbers of Putin’s troops have been killed since the offensive began last Tuesday amid reports hospital and morgue workers are struggling to process a constant stream of bodies.
Meanwhile, sources in Russia’s SVR foreign intelligence service today described the Ukrainian offensive as a ‘crazy step that threatens to escalate far beyond Ukraine’.
