This is CBS I on the world with John Bachelor.

Here's John Bachelor.

Anatole Leave of the Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft is traveling in Asia.

However, he's here to help me to interpret headlines from London about the fog of war in Ukraine and Russia after now

nine or ten days of us count of what is called an incursion by Ukrainian troops with very good

equipment moving very fast headed in the direction of Kursk Oblast which is a very

large settlement historically significant to those who are children

of the Great War and the Children of the Great Patriotic War, that's the first war and the second war.

We're looking now, however, at what started as a cross-border incident and is now a full-blown

emergency throughout Eurasia because what comes next?

The headlines in the telegraph for Anatole to help me with.

Ukraine, quote, using British tanks to invade Russia or Russia

hastily builds trenches in Kursk or Russia orders evacuation of 20,000 more residents as Ukraine's assault continues,

or Russian propaganda accuses Ukraine terrorists, in quotes, of human rights abuses.

And it told a good day to you, traveling in Asia, a world away from you,

Ukraine continues its offensive as far as we can tell, fog war moving very fast capturing a lot of Russian

military people although I'm told their interior troops not first-rate stuff the kind of thing you would have guarding a frontier when your

battle axis is elsewhere.

There is an initial report that Russia is moving some of its best troops from the Ukraine front north towards Somi Oblast and Kursk Oblast.

What do you make of the

fastal explanation these last days is to gain attention to morale building for

its citizens after two and a half years of war.
