Next week, an already very public debate over whether Ukraine should be allowed to use long-range Western-supplied missiles on Russian soil will come under an even brighter international spotlight.

Ukrainian Defense Forces targeted and destroyed Russian arsenals in the Tver and Krasnodar regions of the Russian Federation early Saturday morning.

Russia has launched nearly 30 missiles, around 400 drones, and more than 900 guided aerial bombs at Ukraine over the past week, President Volodymyr Zelensky said on Sept. 22, as he called for Ukraine to be given long-range strike capabilities.

Russia said on Friday that its army would regain control of its Kursk region "in a timely manner", declining to say how soon this could be achieved.

The Kremlin is said to have tasked its army with pushing Ukrainian forces out of Russia's Kursk region in less than a month. But how doable is it, especially given Ukraine's next move in its incursion?

Some Ghanaian men who said they were promised security and agricultural jobs in Russia by were instead forced to fight in the for Russia in the Russia-Ukraine war.
