‘Furious battles are underway’: Kursk residents call on Putin for help after Ukrainian incursion

Ukrainian forces are pushing further into the Kursk region of Russia, in a cross-border incursion that surprised even American officials, multiple US and Ukrainian officials tell CNN.

Ukrainian forces are comprised of a mix of Ukrainian regular and special operations units, unlike previous Ukrainian operations inside Russia that often involved undercover units and local sympathizers.

The intention, say US and Ukrainian officials, is multifaceted, in part to disrupt and demoralize Russian forces and in part to divert Russian forces away from other parts of the eastern front.

Russia claimed on Thursday to have halted a Ukrainian incursion into its territory, but later said that some battles are ongoing in the Kursk region. According to the Russian Ministry of Defense, units of the “North” group of its forces, together with the Russian Federal Security Service, the FSB, “continue to destroy Ukrainian armed forces formations in the Sudzhensky and Korenevsky districts of the Kursk region, which are directly adjacent to the Russian-Ukrainian border.” CNN cannot independently verify these claims.

Kursk residents, who live in the Sudzhansky District, recorded a video address to Russian President Vladimir Putin on Thursday asking for his help, saying he has been misinformed about the situation on the ground and the Russian Defense Ministry’s statements about things being under control are untrue.

The address was published on a local Telegram channel that is dedicated to covering the latest news out of the town of Sudzha in Kursk region, which has been under Ukrainian attack for several days.

“These lies enable the local residents to die. The Chief of the General staff recently told you that the situation is under control, but today huge furious battles are underway in the Sudzhansky and Korenevsky districts,” one of the residents said.

“Sudzha was attacked, turned into ruins in hours."

So much for Putin's red lines. He looks weak before the whole world.

The situation in the Ukraine = The Ukraine is losing the war and needlessly losing soldiers. NATO knows it but is fueling the war, sending Ukrainian men to fight and die in the hopes that they can recover Ukrainian territory when NATO knows they can't.

If anyone needs to rounded up by the Ukie press gangs, it’s these Globohomos mofos.

If a Russian war blogger is to be believed, Russian paratroopers are apparently doing the one thing airborne units haven't done in a very long time - parachute into a hot zone.

These were messy, high casualty endeavors even before the advent of SAMs, with the German capture of Crete being the high water mark. And in the current situation, unlike Crete, which was manned by an under-equipped garrison force lacking armor and stragglers from the defeat on the Greek mainland, the Ukrainian force surrounding the Russian objective consists of armored front line units with what appears to be organic SAM cover.

The Ukes should run away before they are surrounded.

Instead of an actual invasion, is this possibly the start of a revolt against Putin and his rule? Send help... Kill the help... Send more help... Kill that help and so on and so forth... Can Vlad fight on two fronts? Does he have enough fodder for cannons on the right and left of him?

The British never lost control of New York City during the American Revolution.

Now that Ukraine is on the offensive in Russia. Now Putin is looking weak. He didn't learn from the Wagner march to Moscow last year and fortify the borders.

I’m not wanting Ukraine to win. I’m not wanting Russia to win. I would simply love to have things back to where they were before the Russian invasion.

But some Pooters here eagerly want a Russian victory. With this news, Pooters have a sad.

Ukraine sent a thousand men in. 600 have been eliminated so far. On a mission to nowhere.
