San Antonio-Sized Swath of Russia Now Under Ukraine ..

Ukraine controls nearly 500 square miles of territory in Russia's border Kursk region, according to Kyiv's army chief, as Moscow grapples with Kyiv's continuing advances that have rejuvenated Ukrainian troops nearly two and a half years into the war effort.

Ukraine now controls 93 settlements in Kursk, Colonel General Oleksandr Syrskyi said in remarks reported by Ukrainian media on Tuesday. Kyiv has a grip on just under 489 square miles of territory, or around 1,263 square kilometers, the army commander added, which is roughly the size of the Texas city of San Antonio.
