Ukraine’s incursion into Russia has been met with some success, with Ukraine holding Russian territory. Additional attacks by Ukraine into Russia has brought the war closer to home for Russia.

Ukraine has said it does not intend to claim Russian territory nor hold it, though it continues to demand Russia return Ukraine territory it has seized.
We will continue to monitor this developing situation.
Ukraine has begun to fly F-16s against Russia in Russia’s war against the country. The Netherlands says Ukraine can use its F-16s to strike Russian territory.
