LIVE | Russia Shows Ukrainian Weaponry Captured or Destroyed in Kursk, Evacuates Civilians

Several “NATO officers” providing coordinates for Ukrainian strikes deep into Russia are trapped in Kursk, Russia state media reported. Meanwhile, Russia's defence ministry released footage of various Ukrainian military hardware and weaponry captured and destroyed in the Kursk region. Russia forces are battling to drive the last Ukrainian soldiers from western Russia after a seven-month surprise incursion by Ukraine that aimed to distract Moscow's forces and gain a bargaining chip in potential negotiations. On March 12, Russian army chief told President Putin that Russian forces had liberated over 86% of the territory, or 1,100 square kilometers even as Ukraine denies that its troops are encircled in Kursk. US President Donald Trump has "strongly requested" Putin to spare the lives of thousands of “completely surrounded” Ukrainian soldiers. #nato #vladimirputin #russia #worldnews n18oc_world n18oc_crux CRUX is your daily video news guide to the big events that are shaping our world.
