# Ukraine has confirmed for the first time that its troops have entered the neighbouring Russian region of Belgorod. Zelenskyy said Ukrainian troops are carrying out active operations in the border areas. He called it just, and said the war must return to where it came from. On Monday, Zelenskyy’s hometown held funerals for some of the 20 people, including nine children, killed by a Russian missile which hit apartment buildings and a playground. More than 70 people were also wounded in the attack Friday night on Kryvyi Rih.
