KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Thursday that Kyiv troops have full control of the Russian town of Sudzha in the Kursk region in their incursion into Russian territory.

The town, the largest that Ukraine has reportedly seized so far, had a prewar population of around 5,000 people. Natural gas flows from West Siberian gas fields through pipes that pass through Sudzha and cross the Ukrainian border into Ukraine’s system.

Zelenskyy said a Ukrainian military commander’s office is being set up in Sudzha. He didn’t elaborate on the details or the functions of the office.

The claims couldn’t be independently verified.

    Dumb fuck Putin could’ve just sat on his billions and coasted through his last years on Earth but no, he had to play Hitler.

      Except for the continual nuclear threat, I am largely unaffected by whatever that fuck wants to do. However, I and other otherwise peaceful people would probably do him in given the chance. Not only just sort of pushing him off a convenient window. No sir, putin has earned himself some other more fun ways to finish his presence. Like getting bungy jumped from a balloon down to a floor full of nails and other long and sharp rusty objects with lots of burrs and pointy jagged pieces. Maybe all glowing red hot due to misplaced fire. And all on HBO? He won’t be told if the bungee is long enough or not or how many bounces he’s going to be given each time. Leave it to the wind.
