In Kursk, the Ukrainian invasion is back

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and his generals have an artful knack for keeping the Russian military bear off-balance. On Sunday, they renewed their offensive in the Russian Kursk Oblast, once again catching the Russian high command, Kremlin, and many pundits by surprise.

Reports of a demoralized Ukrainian army fighting to retain terrain captured during the August Kursk offensive — of which at least 40 percent has been lost — have circulated among western media and Russian milbloggers since November.

So too reports that Ukraine’s 155th Mechanized Brigade — trained and equipped by France — was under-resourced in “first person view drones or sufficient[ly] trained pilots.” And that 50 soldiers had deserted the unit while training in France and another that 1,700 soldiers refused orders to transfer to the unit.

Nonetheless, as Gen. George Patton once said, “When in doubt, attack!” And that is exactly what Ukraine did, along three fronts — southern Berdin, central Russkoye Porechnoye and central Novosotnitsky.

Ukraine is using British supplied Challenger 2 tanks and extensive electronic warfare operations to blind Russian drones, allowing sappers to open lanes in minefields to facilitate their advance. The success or failure of the renewed offensive remains to be determined, but one thing is certain — it got the Kremlin’s attention.

So what’s your point?

You can post all the comments you want, but that doesn’t change the fact that Ukraine lost bigly.

Say goodbye to your sugar daddy, Biden. In 9 days Trump’s OUR daddy and Zelensky’s gravy train comes to a screeching halt.
