Selenskyj confirms: Ukrainian troops entered Belgorod!
Belgograd, Russland - On April 7, 2025, President Wolodymyr Selenskyj confirmed that Ukrainian troops entered the Russian border regions of Kursk and Belgorod. This is the first official confirmation of his courage to actively carry out operations in the enemy territory. In his statements, Selenskyj underlined that the war had to return there, where it originally came from. This remark refers to the ongoing conflicts that Russia leads to Ukraine, and the need to take proactive measures to protect Ukrainian territorial integrity. So far, there are no confirming reports on this military move from the Russian side.
The area administration in Belgorod has sometimes lost control in the past few days when regions close to the border have been repeatedly shot at. Selenskyj explained that the operations on hostile soil serve to protect its own areas, especially Kharkiw and Sumy. In addition, commander -in -chief Oleksandr Syrskyj informed the president about the activities along the border line. Ukraine managed to reduce the pressure on other front sections in the current conflict, which led to fewer attacks in the Donetsk area. Despite these progress, Russian military observers reported on the destruction of a dam in Belgorod to hinder the laying of Ukrainian armored technology.
Current developments on the front lines
In the meantime, Ukraine withdraws in the Kursk region after checking larger parts beforehand. Last year, Ukraine won around 1200 square kilometers in this region. However, the current developments show that Ukrainian troops were massively pushed back, which characterized President Selenskyj as a difficult situation and thanked the fighters. Despite these setbacks, Ukraine is now initiating an offensive towards Belgorod after Kiev has initiated a drone attack in this border region.
The latest attacks are particularly worrying: an 18-year-old man lost his hand through the shelling in Belgorod and was taken to the hospital. Russian armed forces reported 46 Ukrainian drones via Belgorod, Brjansk, Kursk and Orlow during the night. Six civilians were injured, including five, who were injured in a drone attack on a truck in the Kursk region. The attacks took place shortly before a planned phone call between Wladimir Putin and Donald Trump, in which a possible ceasefire should be discussed.context of military conflicts
The military situation on the front is complex and is characterized by constant changes. Russian troops have made significant progress in several areas of the Donetsk region. In the industrial city of Torezk in particular, they further advanced. However, the pace of the Russian offensive has decreased. While around 620 square kilometers were still conquered in November 2022, in March 2023 there were only about 200 square kilometers. Information from the Institute for the Study of War (ISW) show the dynamic front processes and developments. Russian armed forces are also advanced in the Course and have conquered terrain, while Sumy Ukrainian troops fought back in the Ukrainian region to recapture lost positions.
The current military actions could have far -reaching consequences for warfare in the entire region and influence the strategic planning of both sides. Western observers are increasingly persuading that the penetration in the Russian area could lead to a shift in resources that are urgently needed elsewhere.
These developments illustrate the ongoing tragedy of war and the unpredictable events that are taking place in the border regions. The use of troops in Belgorod and Kursk could dramatically change the situation for both Ukraine and Russia.
