In his address today, Zelensky announced the preparation of certain decisions "to strengthen our Ukrainian spiritual independence."

In Kursk as expected things going nowhere, no surprise even western media wasn't hyped about it. Main thing is as you know khohols tried emulate 2022 Kharkiv offensive one that lasted 28-30 days and captured most of Kharkiv. Thing is back then Russian didn't had much drones, didn't used aviation and were outnumbered hard. Today it's 180* and Ukrainian offensive lasted less than 2 days and today is 6th day. Main problem for khohols is when their mobile manoeuvre tactic stops being manoeuvre. Now Russian will able to bomb their stationary location and hunt them using drones and shit on top of it khohols weren't able to enter high ground in the north and capture SUDZHAAAAAAA. So they used their elite reserves that were best equipped for them to be sitting ducks in bad fortified location.
Western media tries to cope that Ukrainian using hit and run tactics… but a clutch already happened so now Ukrainian can't run without heavy loses.
So no wonder khohols tried yesterday to open new front

And for 6 day in the row sending their marines to suicide operation

And the front in other direction continues moving like nothing happened

Because khohols idea that they be able to force Russia to redeploy forces, didn't worked out.

FT just dropped this gold article today
Tuesday, moving further into Kursk and occupying the town of Sudzha near the Russian border.
Zelenskyy said his commander-in-chief Oleksandr Syrskyi had reported to him about "the frontline situation and on our actions to push the war out into the aggressor's territory".
"Ukraine is proving that it really knows how to restore justice and guarantees exactly the kind of pressure that is needed — pressure on the aggressor," he added.
You move into enemy territory when it's a draw or you are winning. Also coming out on 6th day and saying this when the front didn't moved for 4 days now
Anatoliy and his wife Nadiya said they had fled their cottage in the Ukrainian village of Khotin, where Russian forces have dropped devastating glide bombs.
They said they supported their military's incursion. "Why can Russians invade us but we can't invade them?" Nadiya asked.
Russia didn't wanted to capture Sumy region and now she will never return to Khotin
The ultimate aim of Ukraine's incursion — which is using some of its best and most elite brigades — remains unclear. But the operation has demonstrated that Russia's border defences are still weak more than a year after Ukraine's first mini-incursion and has given Kyiv a much-needed morale boost.
It took Russian less than 2 days for Russian to turn Ukrainian best and most elite brigades in sitting ducks that will no get bombed to dust. Amazing demonstration
Analysts have said Ukraine may be seeking to use the Kursk offensive to improve its position in potential talks. It is losing territory and men in eastern Ukraine and is still struggling to resolve ammunition and manpower shortages.
This will only make the position of Ukraine weaker since for ukrainian it will be extremely hard to hold that territory and Russian won't push hard to recapture it since disadvantage is in Ukrainian side in this area and if they want to put meat into it and thinking in 2024 that Russian care about media then let it be
But the official explained there had been little effect so far on fighting in the east. "The situation is basically unchanged. Their pressure in the east continues, they are not pulling back troops from the area," he said, adding only that "the intensity of Russian attacks has gone down a little bit".
The official said he expected Russia would "in the end" manage to stop Ukrainian forces in Kursk and retaliate with a large-scale missile attack that would focus "on decision-making centres" in Ukraine.
There has already been more intense bombardment of the Sumy region just across the border from Kursk.
Zelenskyy goal seems to legit force Russia to nuke Ukraine in hope to get western boots. Without it the slow grind will just continue without any hopes for Ukraine
