Reliable on ground reporting based on facts is hard to come by in the Russo-Ukraine war. Spinning a broad theory with thin information behind it does not count. Yet this much is clear: Putin is rattled and Russian civilians disheartened by Ukraine's Kursk offensive. This is of considerable benefit to Ukraine.

Seasonal rain, mud, and snow will soon make major offensive operations much more difficult and will literally freeze the front lines. Meanwhile, Ukraine is using drones to strike deep into Russia and doing considerable damage to military and economic targets. Sanctions and ongoing losses of men and material limit Russia's ability to generate new combat power.

If elected, Trump is likely to be able to arrange a swift cease fire or even a peace deal of some sort between Russia and Ukraine. The Kursk offensive has improved Ukraine's bargaining position and helps to disabuse Russia of hope for anything more than a stalemate. When victory is out of sight, belligerents have one good option: make peace.

No, that is totally false! Stop spinning administration and MSM narratives. Just because YOU haven’t ever looked beyond the MSM masters’ feeding trough is not my fault.

There is plenty of “reliable” information available on X and Telegram since before the war entered its new phase in February of ‘22. Why do you think I’ve been right about Project Ukraine since 2/25/22?

Always remember (I need a damned jingle):

“Look for the Putin stooge libel, News from Ukraine, you’ve gradually grown to trust over the course of 30 months”

“This is of considerable benefit to Ukraine.”

For some reason I don’t think the Uke troops on the front lines would agree with that assessment.

They have been hung out to dry.

The guy a Willie OAM on YouTube is no pro Russia person. He had a report from a Ukrainian soldier on the ground in the Kursk region. The report blasts the Ukrainian leadership for not supplying the troops with the equipment they need. They were supposed to have anti drone warfare systems by the second day but it never arrived. Without drone or anti air defense the Ukrainians are suffering heavy losses of men and machines. The soldiers feel abandoned by their leaders. It doesn't sound like this will end well for Ukraine.
