Ukraine updates: Kyiv says still advancing in Kursk
Thursday, 15 August 2024 Kyiv's forces are advancing farther into Russia's Kursk region, the commander of the Ukrainian military said. DW has the latest.
Russia's Belgorod region declared an emergency following Ukrainian attacks, with evacuations underway. Ukraine's cross-border incursion into Kursk and Belgorod marks the first foreign troop entry into Russia since World War II. Kyiv claims control of 74 settlements in Kursk, embarrassing the Kremlin....
A day after massive Russian strikes, Moscow now accuses Ukraine of sabotaging its own forces. Russian expert Andrey Marochko claims Kyiv lost nearly 4,000 troops in Lugansk alone within a week, including foreign fighters. Ukraine’s counteroffensives reportedly failed to stop Russian advances in Kharkov, Donetsk, and Lugansk. Russia maintains the initiative, launching precision strikes and accusing Ukraine of wasting troops and equipment. As Ukraine struggles to hold its defensive lines, Russia insists its objectives under the "special military operation" are steadily being fulfilled.

Suspects in the March 2024 Crocus City Hall massacre that killed 149 people have reportedly told Russian investigators that a Ukrainian state entity ordered the attack. According to interrogation transcripts cited by Russian media, the attackers — all Tajik nationals — said the assault was executed by ISIS-K but coordinated through a handler named "Saifullo" linked to Ukraine.
The suspects were allegedly promised $13,000 each and instructed to flee to Kiev after the attack. They claimed their weapons came from Ukraine, with operational guidance originating from Türkiye and Afghanistan. Ukraine has denied any role in the incident, though it has previously admitted to sabotage inside Russian territory. The attack, which also injured over 600 people, marks one of the deadliest in Russia in recent memory. Questions persist around the true orchestrators of the massacre and whether foreign intelligence or proxy actors were involved.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has announced Ukraine is now fully aligning with European Union sanctions on Iran. In a dramatic statement, Zelenskyy accused Iran of supporting external terror campaigns, engaging in brutal domestic repression, and forging a dangerous alliance with Russian President Vladimir Putin. The move marks Kyiv’s most aggressive stance against Tehran, extending Ukraine's sanctions policy beyond Russia to its geopolitical backers. Zelenskyy labeled the Iranian government “one of the most brutal regimes in the world” and said Ukraine would contribute to targeting Iranian individuals, companies, and entities involved in both weapons production and regional destabilization. He emphasized the global importance of sanctions against both Russia and its partners. The announcement comes as Iran and Russia deepen defense ties amid the ongoing Ukraine conflict.

Dozens of MPs have called on Sir Keir Starmer to "urgently" establish a Ukraine-style visa to allow Gazans with family in the UK to come to Britain. Sky News
Russian President Vladimir Putin has dismissed the possibility of a US-brokered peace deal by announcing sweeping economic plans to rebuild Donbass and other newly integrated territories. In a bold move, Putin accused Kiev of decades of neglect, stating these regions were "abandoned" before Moscow’s intervention.
Now under Russian control, he pledged a full-scale economic reboot to “unlock their full potential” and ensure locals see “real improvement.” This strategic pivot not only bolsters Russia’s hold on the contested areas but also signals defiance to Western diplomacy, especially amid growing international pressure. The timing — as Western leaders push for de-escalation — reveals Moscow’s determination to consolidate gains through infrastructure, development, and economic integration.

An explosion rocked Russia’s Belgorod region early Friday, derailing a diesel locomotive and halting rail traffic for hours. Russian officials, including Governor Vyacheslav Gladkov, confirmed the sabotage, which delayed even his own train. The blast follows a series of rail attacks in Bryansk, Kursk, and Voronezh, with Moscow accusing Ukraine of orchestrating "terrorist acts" to target infrastructure. President Putin condemned the incidents as attempts to derail diplomacy backed by the U.S., while analysts see Ukraine leveraging such disruptions to gain ground at the negotiation table.

Russian President Vladimir Putin held a rare and “constructive” phone call with Pope Leo XIV, accusing Ukraine of deliberately escalating the conflict by sabotaging civilian infrastructure inside Russia. Putin referenced recent train bombings in Bryansk and Kursk as acts of terrorism. He also updated the Pontiff on resumed peace talks with Kiev, the exchange of prisoners, and efforts to reunite displaced children.

Russian President Vladimir Putin slammed Ukrainian nationalists as "idiots" for destroying Soviet-era World War II monuments, linking the acts to neo-Nazi ideology. Citing Ukraine's de-communization efforts—such as removing statues and renaming cities—Putin accused Kyiv of erasing the Red Army's legacy and glorifying Nazi collaborators. He reaffirmed “de-Nazification” as a central goal of Russia’s war. Meanwhile, Moscow claimed full control over the Kursk border region, praising volunteers for thwarting last year's Ukrainian attempt to seize the nuclear power plant.
