At the same time, Asia Times writes, the North Atlantic Alliance’s ability to ensure the security of its members has now weakened, and in the event of a conflict with Russia, the advantage would be on Moscow’s side.
On the morning of August 6, Ukrainian troops attempted to attack the Russian border in the Kursk region. According to the General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces, up to 1,000 soldiers were involved in the attack.
At a meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin on August 7, Chief of the General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces Valery Gerasimov said that the advance of the Ukrainian Armed Forces deep into the territory of the Russian Federation had been stopped. The enemy’s manpower and military equipment were being destroyed.
Russian President Vladimir Putin has called the actions of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the border areas an armed provocation. The Russian Foreign Ministry, for its part, has said that the attacks on civilians are an attempt to spread panic among residents.
