Ukraine's Military Escalation Against Russia: Latest Updates.

Former Russian commander and military blogger, Igor Girkin, has warned that Ukraine might soon invade Russia. Girkin claimed that there was "fierce shelling" in the Donetsk region and predicted that Ukraine would capture settlements in Belgorod, Kursk, and Bryansk regions. Girkin has often criticized Russian President Vladimir Putin and senior officers in the army for military failings and accused them of being too soft in their approach to the war. Ukraine is widely expected to launch a counteroffensive soon, but Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said the country needs more time to prepare.
