Putin Refuses to Give Deadline on Liberating Kursk
Newsweek ^ | 12/19/2024 | Michael D. Carroll AND Maya Mehrara

Russian President Vladimir Putin refused to provide a specific timeline for when Ukrainian forces might be expelled from Russia's Kursk region during a news conference on Thursday, in response to a question from a resident who asked for clarity on the situation in the border area.

Putin responded by saying: "I cannot and do not even want to name a specific date when they will be knocked out. There is a battle going on now, such serious battles. We will definitely knock them out. Sorry, I cannot name a specific date. I imagine there are plans, and they will be reported to me."

Putin previously set a deadline for kicking Ukrainian troops out of Kursk by October 1 not long after Kyiv's incursion in August

Weird, yesterday there was a lot of activity (see yesterday's map below). Today there is no clashes showing in the area. Drone attacks and the frontline is busy elsewhere as normal.

Since his record of demanding military results is less than stellar, I would say he is correct he “cannot” give a date.

I think he grew up, got a college degree, and changed his name to "James Carville"...

Never stop your enemy from making huge mistakes. The current Ukie “ headcount” is 40,000 Ukie casualties in their failed Kursk offensive, growing larger every day….one Russian cauldron and fire bag after another, they never learn.

The collective West still can not figure out how Russia wages war: Attrition, plain and simple.

Goodnight, Ukraine.

Typical Newsweek — only an idiot commander gives out timelines. And, only treasonous aresholes ask.

The woman asking was an elderly pensioner asking Putin when she will be able to return to her home in Kursk and whether he will rebuild her house. She was sad and desperate.
