From the transcript
So, that was unexpected, wasn't it? And not just unexpected, chocking, audacious, crazy, and spectacular are just some of the adjectives you could use to describe Ukraine's latest gambit, a bold, high- stakes, mechanized assault into Russia.
An attack that, according to the Financial Times, now constitutes, quote, "The first time Russia has been invaded by foreign troops since the Second World War." This fact alone would make it massive news, but Ukrainian troops didn't just drive across the border, cause some mayhem, and then retreat to their own territory.
At the time of writing, a swath of rural Russia now appears to be under Ukrainian occupation. Since this is a fast-moving situation, the figures we're about to give you may have changed by the time you see this. But as of Wednesday, August the 14th, it appears that Kiev's forces have pushed almost 30 kilometers inside Russia on a wide front.

About this briefing
Sorry. I had to reupload this. We've been getting a lot of age restriction lately, which really hobble the videos. Just trying some things out to try and avoid that :).
