On the ground in Kursk Russia occupied by Ukraine. The intensity of the artillery shelling here is insane every minute multiple shells being fired. Drones buzzing overhead , it’s terrifying you only can hear them when they’re within about 40 meters distance , too late to react

Houses leveled by Russian FAB bombs on their own towns. I interviewed Civilians brainwashed by the kremlin who believed Ukraine towns were not attacked and that Russia was invited into Ukraine. Reminds me of propaganda the US got about the Iraq war .

We used a Canadian armored vehicle like MRAP to push into Sudzha about 1 and a half miles from Russian infantry , well within range of drone’ / artillery . We used electronic warfare devices switched on that make a loud buzz hooked up to roof to jam drones on different frequencies

I believe I will now be put on a list by Moscow for “illegally entering Russia without an authorized passport” the double speak backwards thinking. It’s hypocrisy that I shouldn’t be allowed to report from occupied Russia as they report from occupied Ukraine territory.

The Ukrainian military set up pictures of their destroyed towns to try to explain to the local Russians what is happening. They think it’s fake . They do not believe Russia has lost thousands of tanks.

A soldier told me they faced no partisan resistance, no locals took up arms against them.

The fighting here is in swamps you can’t dig deep because of the water level . It’s wooded areas , it’s filled with brush to hide in. The roads are chewed to *** by artillery and tracked armor eating the asphalt apart. It slows down transport in the region .

Soldiers report fighting North Korean troops , captured Russians have confirmed this. They are grateful for the ATACM missile authorization in Kursk but they think it’s too late of a call to impact that much .
