Thousands of Ukrainian troops are participating in incursion into Russia that entered its sixth day.
KYIV - Thousands of Ukrainian troops are participating in an incursion into Russia that entered its sixth day on Sunday, a top Ukrainian official told AFP. The official said that Ukrainian troops would respect international humanitarian law while on Russian territory and that there were no plans to annex areas they currently hold.
"We are on the offensive. The aim is to stretch the positions of the enemy, to inflict maximum losses and to destabilise the situation in Russia as they are unable to protect their own border," the official said late Saturday, speaking on condition of anonymity. "There is no idea of annexation... We are operating in strict accordance with international law," he said, contrasting this with alleged violations by Russian troops in occupied territory.
The International Atomic Energy Agency has urged both sides "to exercise maximum restraint in order to avoid a nuclear accident with the potential for serious radiological consequences".The Ukrainian official also rejected reports that Kyiv's Western partners had not been informed about the offensive.
