You should go back to eating schnitzle.
Kursk is a very unpopulated area and rumored hard to defend. Russia can end the Uke stay at any time they see fit. In the meantime Russia is taking important supply lines for Ukraine in Ukraine.
Cities and towns aren’t really involved much in this.
Smoke and mirrors as usual.
“Kursk is a very unpopulated area and rumored hard to defend.”
So why would Russia invite Ukraine to territory it will find difficult to defend?
So your telling me:
Russia knows about the VERY LAST of the best the Ukrainian forces accumulating and NOT dug in right across the border IN UKRAINE. So instead of unleashing your 300K troops on them, destroying them, and capturing more UKE territory, and forcing Ukraine to surrender because after all this is their last gasp, they decided to play dumb, let the Ukrainians invade, take Russian territory, destroy Russian infrastructure, take conscripts as prisoner, and create internal refugees. Then allow the Ukrainians to DIG IN (its been three weeks already). THEN force them out by oliterating your own territory with massive artillary as that is the only method you know.
Kind of like the Allies letting the Germans doing the Ardennes offensive.
I think you need more schnitzle in your diet!
