This photograph taken on 16 August, 2024, during a media tour organised by Ukraine, shows a destroyed vehicle next to a destroyed building in the Ukrainian-controlled Russian town of Sudzha, Kursk region, amid the Russian invasion in Ukraine. Kyiv said August 16, 2024, its incursion into Russian territory had advanced, claiming it aimed to force Russia to negotiate on "fair" terms, as Moscow's troops announced new gains in eastern Ukraine. Two and a half years into Russia's invasion of Ukraine, Kyiv's troops on August 6, 2024, launched a major counter-offensive into Russia's Kursk region, sending more than 120,000 people fleeing.
