[Today’s Prayer] Ukraine operates within Russian territory for the second day... Ground troops enter
Ukraine has launched a major offensive against Russia.
The Ukrainian military advanced ground forces into Russia's Kursk region on the 7th (local time).
The Ukrainian military, which launched missile and drone attacks on Russian territory the day before, is now carrying out full-scale operations on Russian territory.
In the aftermath, Russia had to withdraw some troops from the Ukrainian front and redeploy them to the Kursk region.
There is a possibility that Ukraine may have turned to a large-scale offensive due to pressure that former U.S. President Donald Trump, who is actually advocating ending the war in Ukraine the way Russia wants, might win the presidential election on November 5.
According to foreign media such as CNN and the Financial Times (FT), Russia announced on this day that Ukrainian troops crossed the border and invaded the Kursk region.
During the past two years of war, Ukraine has never advanced into Russian territory.
The Russian Ministry of Defense, the Russian Investigative Committee (RIC), and the Russian Children's Ombudsman said that the Ukrainian military launched a "large-scale attack" on the 6th and that it was an attempt to break through the Russian defense network in the Kursk border area.
Russian President Vladimir Putin also called the attack a "large-scale provocation" and said Ukraine was "indiscriminately attacking civilian buildings, residential buildings, ambulances, etc. with a variety of weapons, including missiles."
However, Ukraine has not commented on this, and foreign media reported that it is still unclear whether Ukrainian troops actually advanced into Russian territory and secured a foothold or damaged strategic targets.
Additionally, it has not been confirmed whether Ukrainian forces still remain on Russian territory.
The news that Ukraine attacked Russian territory came from the Russian side.
Russian authorities and military bloggers said Ukrainian forces had used ground and air attacks to close in on Sudja, a town of 5,000 people about 10 kilometers from the border.
According to CNN, the video showed buildings at the border area being destroyed and the village of Sudja damaged by shelling.
Another video showed Ukrainian troops approaching the village. However, CNN reported that based on this video alone, it is unclear whether Ukrainian troops entered the village or took control of it.
It is unclear why Ukraine suddenly launched an attack on Russian territory, but there is speculation that it may have made a bold shift in strategy to reverse the situation on the front line and create a favorable situation before the U.S. presidential election.

They will not hand you over,” Jeremiah replied. “Obey the Lord by doing what I tell you. Then it will go well with you, and your life will be spared. But if you refuse to surrender, this is what the Lord has revealed to me (Jeremiah 38:20-21)
Lord, the flames of the war between Russia and Ukraine, which was buried by the war between Israel and Palestine, are rising again.
We believe it will get the global church praying for Russia and Ukraine again.
We believe that the king of Russia and Ukraine is not a president, but only one God, Jehovah. Let this land obey the voice of the LORD. Hold onto this land, as You have said, and make it a united land, in the name of Jesus Christ, who is life.
Satan, who is dividing Russia and Ukraine, and dragging them to hell, will be cut off, in the name of Jesus! Rise up as the last great army, united in the life and love of Jesus!
