We found the reason why khohols attacked Kursk

So Putin became president 24 years ago during that time Kursk submarine events happened in August

So Zelenskyy saying Putin started ruling with Kursk and will end with Kursk.

For context: western media always post bs that Putin is very symbolic

So this r-slur thinks this event that now is heading nowhere and where khohols have to show 6-7 days old pictures and video as proof they still have success because shit starts hitting, thinks Putin will be kicked out

Most interesting last days was that some Ukrainian diversion groups went 30-40km inside to get trapped by Chechens

And losing their gears. Today most such video showed up many nsfw

The economist also wrote some beautiful article

But the accounts from Ukraine's wounded suggest it has not been a walk in the park, and remains risky. The hospital ward reeks of the sacrifice: soil, blood, and stale sweat. Foil burn-dressings line the corridor. In the yard, the patients, some wrapped like mummies from head to toe in bandages, smoke furiously. Angol, a 28-year-old paratrooper with the 33rd brigade, looks like a Christmas tree. His left arm is immobilised in a fixation device. Tubes, bags and wires protrude from his body. He was also about 30km into Russia when his luck ran out. He isn't sure if it was artillery or a bomb that hit him. Maybe it was friendly fire; there was a lot of that. All he can remember is falling to the ground and shouting "300", the code for wounded. The Russians had been on the run up to then, he insists, abandoning equipment and ammunition as fast as they could.

Other soldiers in the yard recall the demonic buzz of Russia's skies. Ukraine has deployed a lot of air-defence and electronic-warfare assets to the area, but drones and aviation find ways through. Mykola, an infantryman who says he was in the first group to cross over into Russia, says pilots attacked as soon as they entered the first Russian village. At a second village, the group was targeted by helicopters. Mykola recalls throwing himself to the ground, and then the sound of a helicopter crashing, downed by a Ukrainian anti-aircraft missile. But close calls have consequences. The problem with throwing yourself to the ground at night is you can't see where you're falling, Mykola says. He broke a rib and had to be evacuated.

Their ad was wiped out the first day, there was many video posted of AD getting bussy blasted

But other aspects of the operation indicate a certain haste in preparation. All three soldiers quoted in this article were pulled, unrested, from under-pressure front lines in the east with barely a day's notice.

Genius

The end goal of Ukraine's operation still remains unclear: does it aim to push further, towards the city of Kursk? Is the plan to occupy part of the territory permanently, perhaps as a bargaining chip in negotiations, or does it intend to withdraw after causing Vladimir Putin maximum embarrassment? Ukraine does not appear to be reinforcing its positions in any serious sense. "Our calf demands a wolf," the security source cautions, using a local saying to warn against overly ambitious objectives.

A minimum objective appears to be pulling troops away from Russia's stranglehold in Kharkiv and Donbas, the main focuses of the war. On early evidence, the results are inconclusive. Russia has shifted troops from the Kharkiv front, but so far it has moved far fewer from the vital Donbas front. "Their commanders aren't idiots," says the Ukrainian general-staff source. "They are moving forces, but not as quickly as we would like. They know we can't extend logistics 80 or 100 km."

Good news for them Putin cancelled all the plan for peace talk with Ukraine and called that gov illegal so now a lot of rumours in west warning that Putin can start shooting gov building in Kiev

Also amazing 7 day of operation and no one understands its goal.

The source cautions against comparing the Kursk incursion to Ukraine's successful swift recapture of much of Kharkiv province in late 2022. The Russian army is taking the war more seriously now, he says: "The danger is we'll fall into a trap, and Russia will grind our teeth down."

It's the 7th day and 5th without progress they are now at an clinch so they are at an trap now since they can't retreat without serious loses and can't push while they have no ad cover or ew cover

The mathematics of war have never favoured Ukraine, which must husband its limited resources, and an assault deep inside undefended Russian territory risks making the situation worse. But the operation has already improved the one crucial intangible— morale—that has allowed Ukraine to cheat the odds for nearly three years now. Whether in government offices in Kyiv, or in front-line hospitals treating the wounded, the nation believes it has uncovered a vulnerability in Vladimir Putin's armour. Tired, dirty and exhausted, the soldiers say they regret no part of the risky operation that has already killed scores of their comrades: They would rejoin it in a heartbeat. "For the first time in a long time we have movement," says Angol. "I felt like a tiger."

47th brigade also thought they were a tiger in June 2023 and they had a lot more progress and were a lot better prepared

Meanwhile front continues moving elsewhere

In pokrovsk its

It's pro Ukrainian map so it shows things a lot better like that Zhellane is under Ukraine but they lost it 4 days ago. So Ukraine lost 4 towns during last week in pokrovsk and now Russian entered 2 cities in pokrovsk that are bigger than Sudzha

Hrodivka will probably fall fast since Russian can cut that city from supply lines by capturing Orlivka since the only other way supplying that city would be through bridge that is destroyed. Novohrodivka is a lot bigger than Sudzha and seems like it also heading to shit

Khohols are also getting pushed back in Kursk but now Zelenskyy is flexing about winning since nothing shows you winning as being stuck in some lowland empty fields

Just comparison

(Kursk is even more zoomed) but as you can see there is nothing there except Sudzha.

So letting khohols in to bomb them in more advantageous for Russian position is not even expensive for Russian.

Like I wrote yesterday this operation failed faster than spring counteroffensive.

And copes about slapping and destroying his reputation is cope, because dictators rep ain't as fragile and his pals in Iran, China and etc ain't r-slurs and like most military anallist understands that Ukraine did some ultra r-slurred move.

Ukrainian are famous for pulling some stupid shit
