KURSK, RUSSIA Shocking footage shows the cruelty of the war Russia has unleashed in Ukraine. A starving pig, which wandered off because it was spooked by the sound of gunfire, devours the corpse of a Russian soldier who died defending the Kursk region from the Ukrainian army.
Although Ukraine is only fighting a defensive war, they launched an offensive into the Kursk region, which is Russian territory, in August 2024. The Ukrainians are successfully holding positions and penetrating further and further into Russian territory. The purpose of this operation is to create a buffer zone, to deflect Russian attacks and above all it has moral significance for all Ukrainian soldiers.
