Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky stated that "war is coming home" to Russia as Ukrainian forces advance in Russia's Kursk region, aiming to pressure President Vladimir Putin. Ukraine claims its troops hold one thousand square kilometers of Russian territory, though the Institute for the Study of War estimates the area at eight hundred square kilometers. Putin accused Ukraine of "crimes" against Russians, vowing a "worthy response." Meanwhile, Russia has set up four hundred temporary shelters for thirty thousand displaced residents. Power cuts in Ukraine's Chernihiv region followed Russian drone attacks on energy infrastructure.
