Ukraine’s incursion into Russia continued for a sixth day. The largest such attack since the full-scale invasion and unprecedented for its use of Ukrainian military units on Russian soil, it caught Moscow unawares and was an embarrassment to Russian military leaders who have scrambled to contain the breach. The exact aims of the operation remain unclear.
