A video that state television said was taken on Wednesday shows
a three-storey building in the border town of Sudzha and three
Ukrainian soldiers taking and pulling down a Russian flag
shouting "Glory to Ukraine".
A state TV correspondent in the town said Ukrainian forces were
in full control of Sudzha, a key gas transhipment hub.
Thousands of Ukrainian troops rammed through the Russian border
in the early hours of Aug. 6 into Russia's western Kursk region.
Russian forces have so far failed to expel them after more than
a week of intense battles.
The video also showed a column of burnt-out Russian vehicles at
the entrance to Sudzha. It also showed empty streets with shops
and official buildings undamaged.
