Ukrainian troops have strengthened positions and expanded territory in Russia's Kursk region, nearly two weeks into their incursion.

Ukraine says it has seized more than 80 settlements since August 6 in the biggest invasion of Russia since World War II.

Coming two and a half years into Russian’s invasion of Ukraine, why has Ukraine decided to return the favour, and what does this incursion mean on a wider scale?

Today on The Front Page, University of Waikato international law professor Alexander Gillespie is with us to analyse this new twist in the long running war.
