MOSCOW (Reuters) -Russian forces advanced further in Kursk region on Monday and curled behind Ukrainian forces as part of a major encirclement operation aimed at forcing thousands of Ukrainian soldiers to either flee or surrender in western Russia.
The Russian advances threaten to encircle thousands of Ukrainian soldiers just as Ukraine prepares for talks with top U.S. diplomats in Saudi Arabia on Tuesday, with U.S. President Donald Trump pressing for a swift end to the war.
