Ukraine seizes Russian territory: What it means for the ongoing war
About this episode
Ukrainian troops have strengthened positions and expanded territory in Russia's Kursk region, nearly two weeks into their incursion.
Ukraine says it has seized more than 80 settlements since August 6 in the biggest invasion of Russia since World War II.
Coming two and a half years into Russian’s invasion of Ukraine, why has Ukraine decided to return the favour, and what does this incursion mean on a wider scale?
Today on The Front Page, University of Waikato international law professor Alexander Gillespie is with us to analyse this new twist in the long running war.
