Ukraine has seized more Russian territory in two weeks than Russia has seized in Ukraine all year.
Reinforcements sent by Moscow failed to stop a Ukrainian surprise offensive in Russia’s Kursk region during its second week, creating a dilemma for the Kremlin – to further tap Russia’s invasion force in Ukraine by diverting more battalions to defend Russia, or to throw new conscripts into the war.
Moscow has so far kept regular recruits into the armed forces on rotation at home, sending only contract soldiers to the bloody battlefields of Ukraine. But the Kursk offensive has changed that delicate political balance.
By counter-attacking Russia on its home turf, Ukraine has put young Russian conscripts who did not sign up for active combat duty in the line of fire. Kyiv’s forces have reportedly captured hundreds of them as prisoners of war.

On August 10, four days after the Ukrainian incursion, Russian mothers began to complain that their sons were in active combat.
“Oksana Deeva, the mother of a conscript who found himself in the Kursk region, published a petition for the return of conscripts from combat zones. Almost three thousand people signed it in three days,” wrote Okno, an independent Russian news publication.
On Monday, the commander of a Chechen special forces volunteer battalion, Akhmat, lashed back at what he called “sobs and outbursts”.

That’s quite a list - the foolish Democrats at Yahoo all bought into the “botched robbery” of Seth Rich.
The same idiots who bought into “The Steele Dossier” - they were quoting it all over - Hillary’s people really had those idiots believing all of it - hook, line and sinker
I agree.
the globohomopedos are also evil - even moreso.
Zelensky is also evil.
