Ultimately Ukraine does not have the men to continue this assault, but I doubt that is the point. An old trick is to do a counter assault to pull enemy resources from their assault.
Will be interesting to see if Ukraine pulls back and you see another counter assault somewhere else on the line.
poor little pooty - his evil doesn’t work out for him
How dare the country we invaded invade us back. Outraged! lol.
Ukraine is a disaster country, unlivable. so many Ukrainians already dead in war. One incursion means didly squat.
“the most serious border incursion of the conflict so far, the Institute for the Study of War said today.”
May it lead to further ‘most serious border incursions’
May it be so!
“... the most serious border incursion of the conflict so far,...”
Get the power plant!
That is what they want.
Russia suffers a setback. Pooters have a big sad.
This move, if they can sustain it, was brilliant. As a guy from Austria once said about Russia, “Kick the door in and the whole rotten structure will crumble”.
Of course, that Austrian guy wound up burned in a pit in the ruins of Berlin, war always involves risks.
A lot of pro-Ukraine posts emphasize Putin being “humiliated”, or how current events affect Russian “feels”.
Just like in Gaza, what matters is who wins and who loses. As was the case with the man from Braunau am Inn, who made it all the way to a big bend in the Volga but couldn’t quite git ‘er done - however many sads Stalin had.
Watch what happens next.
Former CIA analyst Larry Johnson:
Meanwhile, Ukraine is busy committing military suicide with its PR attack into Russian territory near Kursk. The attacking force lacked air cover and the power to sustain the attack. The Ukrainian troops were savaged by Russian air strikes, artillery and drones. Some have opined that this was a feint or a diversion, i.e., focus Russian attention in the north and then strike at the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant. Maybe, but Ukraine lost significant resources in terms of men and equipment that cannot be easily replaced.
Let’s assume, for the sake of argument, that Ukraine managed to reach Kursk. Okay. How do they resupply their troops and sustain the momentum of the attack. Russia has a wealth of resources — manpower, combat air, artillery and drones — to bog the Ukrainians down and chew them up. Those who believe that this would force Russia to seek a negotiated end to the war are the same delusional clowns who promised that Ukrainian troops would be sloshing around on the beaches of Crimea last summer.
This attack is likely to have the opposite effect — Russia will accelerate its offensive against Ukraine and will not negotiate until Ukraine begs for mercy.
