00:00Emmanuelle Chasse, our correspondent in Ukraine, is with us in duplex.

00:04Hello, Emmanuelle.

00:05First question, where is this Ukrainian incursion coming from?

00:09Well, Philomé, you are talking about the establishment of an operation of counterterrorism

00:19by Russia in three frontal regions, not only Kursk, where the fighting continues, but

00:26also Bryansk and Belgorod.

00:28So, concretely, that means that the Russian authorities have more prerogatives,

00:34notably that of evacuating, even by force, civilians, for example.

00:38They can also enter by force into any building.

00:43It's a bit the equivalent of our alerts in France, for example,

00:47Vigipirate, which would be absolutely at the maximum.

00:49So, it's telling you the whole situation of chaos that results from these Ukrainian incursions,

00:54which continue.

00:56There are videos that circulate, notably on Russian social networks.

01:01You said it, it's always the operational silence here in Ukraine.

01:05There are videos that show scenes of escape of the inhabitants.

01:10On social networks, we also see Ukrainian soldiers waving a Ukrainian flag,

01:17therefore in Russian territory.

01:19For the moment, it is not possible to verify all this information.

01:22What we do know is that the fighting continues.

01:26It is true that there are no comments on the operations in progress,

01:29since in fact they are, and that by strategy,

01:32Kiev will not give details.

01:35On the other hand, there are some comments that we had already talked about.

01:39The most emblematic one, in the end, is that of President Zelensky,

01:43evoking the fact that Russia feels on its own territory

01:48what it is doing to the Ukrainians.

01:51Another development in this region of Kursk is,

01:56we know it by the atomic agency with President Rafael Grossi,

02:02which calls for the utmost caution.

02:05So, we saw that there was an electric power plant of this nuclear power station

02:10that had been disconnected.

02:11So, are the fights coming closer?

02:14All this is very difficult to verify,

02:16but all we know is that the extremely chaotic situation continues in this region.

02:21Meanwhile, Emmanuelle, in Ukraine itself,

02:23the Russian forces bombed a supermarket in Kostiantynivka,

02:28in the east, in the Donetsk region.

02:30The balance is very heavy.

02:32What happened?

02:32Why was this city targeted?

02:38Well, listen, Kostiantynivka is regularly targeted by artillery,

02:43by Russian missiles.

02:45Why?

02:45Well, because it is very close to the front line

02:49and, inevitably, targeted in this way.

02:53Yesterday, a supermarket and a post office were targeted.

02:5714 people died, 43 injured.

03:00I went there at the end of the day.

03:04It's an apocalyptic scene.

03:06There is absolutely nothing left of this supermarket.

03:09By targeting this kind of civil infrastructure,

03:11well, Russia is going against international law,

03:15even if we suspect that when Russia targets this type of city,

03:20it probably also hopes to target soldiers, even out of combat.

03:24But targeting a soldier out of combat is also a crime.

03:28So it adds to the long list of operations of this kind

03:33carried out by Russia in Ukraine.

03:35Thank you very much, Emmanuelle Chaz.
