You’re a key player in this ridiculous and wasteful “offensive”

Because it was done purely for PR and propaganda purposes

Here’s the problem...if this supposed conquering is now part of Ukraine...then the two areas in Ukraine belong to Russia. So all Russia has to do is retake area Ukraine claims within Russia proper.

Any Ukrainian that remains in Kursk is going to be exterminated.

But, this is just another example of Ukrainians and you lie, Marcus.

The people of Crimea, Donetsk and Lugansk absolutely did not support the illegal coup that occurred in Ukraine 2014 that removed a President the vast majority in those regions voted for. They were under no moral obligation to remain part of Ukrainian nationalist/neo-Nazi government that hated and was persecuting them.

The people of Kursk do not want to join the Ukrainian hellhole. They aren't being liberated.

Fomenting the illegal coup in Ukraine and setting off a civil war is one of the most shameful things this nation has ever been involved with.

“People’s Republic”? That’s a communist label.

Not exactly flattering for Ukraine if they are indeed who named it that.

The Ukrainian incursion into Russia's Kursk oblast has even worse consequences for Ukraine than had been known so far.

Over the last six months, in revenge for Ukrainian attacks on Russian infrastructure, especially oil refineries, the Russian forces created serious damage on Ukraine's electricity network. Nearly every conventional power generation facility in Ukraine has been damaged. Half of Ukraine's 18 Gigawatts of electricity generation capacity has been taken offline. The damaged power stations were often also used to provide heating to large blocks of Soviet type apartments. Without power and heating it will be a very difficult winter for many people in Ukraine.

There was interest on both sides to stop the campaigns against the other sides infrastructure. An agreement about it was in the making and was possible. But, as Washington Post reports, the Ukrainian attack on Kursk blew it apart:

Ukraine and Russia were set to send delegations to Doha this month to negotiate a landmark agreement halting strikes on energy and power infrastructure on both sides, diplomats and officials familiar with the discussions said, in what would have amounted to a partial cease-fire and offered a reprieve for both countries.

But the indirect talks, with the Qataris serving as mediators and meeting separately with the Ukrainian and Russian delegations, were derailed by Ukraine’s surprise incursion into Russia’s western Kursk region last week, according to the officials.

...

The diplomat familiar with the talks said that Qatar has been discussing the arrangement for an energy strike moratorium with Kyiv and Moscow for the past two months. The official said the two sides agreed to a summit in Doha with just minor details left to be worked out.

“After Kursk, the Russians balked,” another person familiar with the talks said.

Instead of its senseless attack on Kursk Ukraine could have had an agreement that would make it possible to get through the winter without many blackouts and other interruptions. It blew that chance.

The moral uplift for Ukrainian forces created by the attack on Kursk is already waning. Russia has not pulled any of its troops involved in the attacks in the east to defend Kursk. It has instead pulled reserves from elsewhere. One of the hoped for effects of the Kursk incursion is thereby not happening.

In the top right, that little piece of blue is Ukraine's activity. The rest of the map is Russia's over the last 12 hours. I don't know when, but Russia appears to have grabbed a few hundred square miles over the last month or so. I am not saying that Ukraine is not doing well up north, they are killing a lot of people, but dying also. Got to feed the military industrial complex. Politicians need the campaign cash.
