Putin Ally Admits Russia Can't Kick Ukraine out of Kursk by Year End

An ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin has implied that Moscow cannot push Ukraine out of Kursk by the end of the year, despite Putin previously setting a deadline to kick them out by October.

Russia's Chief of the General Staff of the Armed Forces, Valery Gerasimov, said that all the tasks set by the country's leadership for the military in 2024 have been completed, according to the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation. He was speaking during a briefing for the military. As Ukrainian forces remain in Kursk, it is possible that driving them out was not a task for Russian forces to complete by the year's end.

The implications of Gerasimov's statement are significant as it brings into question what Russia's priorities are now in its nearly three-year long full-scale war with Ukraine. As Putin's previous statements made it seem as if reclaiming Kursk was high on Moscow's agenda, it is unclear what Russia's advances in the region mean in terms of long-term goals.

It makes zero difference how long it takes.

Every Ukrainian troop that remains in Kursk that doesn't surrender will die.

Eventually the Ruskies will take back the Kursk region. Not sure if they’ll take Pokrovsk or not.

It is never good to get high on your own supply of hopium. Hopium is stronk!

Hopium has also been shown in medical studies to make you gay for little dictators.

The longer the Kursk invasion lasts the more Ukraine loses.

They named names instead of saying an anonymous source provided the info.

Newsweek must not like this guy.

Ukraine keeps sending their best troops to Kursk. They are trying desperately trying to hold on to Russian territory no matter the losses.
