Whatever the thrust of his comments, the Russian president’s tone and body language was decidedly less convincing. “Putin discussing Ukraine’s incursion into Russia, which he says the West is behind,” Nigel Gould-Davis, a former U.K. ambassador to Belarus, posted on X, formerly Twitter, along with a clip of Putin speaking at the summit. “He looks and sounds not angry, outraged, determined – but hesitant and rattled.”
Though state media has naturally tried to steer clear of anything resembling explicit criticism of the Kremlin’s military efforts, propagandists have been unable to contain their growing alarm at the pace of Ukraine’s retaliatory invasion, as Russian social media remains flooded with videos of Kursk residents fleeing their homes and begging Putin for help.
One TV show host has described the general reaction as “panicked” and “apocalyptic.” Other commentators have warned everyday Russians could maybe begin to question how exactly Moscow’s fearsome intelligence community managed to apparently waltz past any warning signs of an imminent attack.
It’s not the first time Russia’s suffered an incursion into its territory since the war began. But it is the only known case to date of these efforts being led by the Ukrainian army, rather than by pro-Ukrainian militias already inside Russia—or, indeed, by Russian forces themselves.
As Moscow scrambles to assemble further troops from its reserves, one of the most pressing questions is now whether Ukraine is using NATO-supplied weapons to carry out this latest attack. Western partners have long proven squeamish about the prospect of Ukraine using international military aid against sovereign Russian territory, fearing this would threaten to drag Russia and NATO into more direct confrontation.

ZEEPER FOLLIES PINGLIST!(((PING!)))
Putin was seen rocking back and forth in his chair like a nutcase. While singing to himself — “Poor Poor Pitiful Me”
First written and recorded by American musician Warren Zevon in 1976. While popularized by Linda Ronstadt.
It's almost like they're re-living their sordid youth, where they were caught out doing weird things in their knickers...
sWill Neal weighs in with the best of his garbage news brethren.
Three days to take Kiev. Three days to take Kiev. Three days to take Kiev. Three days to take Kiev. Three days to take Kiev. Three days to take Kiev. Three days to take Kiev. Three days to take Kiev. Three days to take Kiev.
The US & EU will pay the price for the poor Ukes who died trying.
But, call us in a week or two, on Kursk.
Putin is likely already in a mood with the Oh-Biden strike inside Mother Russia.
Not a laugh. We make nothing. Supply chain will fit your pinky.
Agree!
And you can almost see the Zeepers squealing like little girls as they read it - over and over.
Your lamer modus operandi -— Attack the messenger. The journalist here. Who quotes the Russian mass media as highly critical of the Kursk invasion, vis a vis Russian intel and Russia’s border defenses.
This is the last gasp of the Ukraine snake. A desperate gamble put together by NATO to bid for time. It will fail as Russia moves in with massive force. A Modern day Battle of the Bulge—all flash and no bang. Lots of people will die—thats all.
"Journalists" who use the word "humiliated" are faggots who got their pants yanked down to their ankles in front of their fourth-form class in Merry Olde England...
“The US & EU will pay the price for the poor Ukes who died trying.”
We might yet. Dragging us into it has been the goal for Ukraine all along: “fearing this would threaten to drag Russia and NATO into more direct confrontation.”
It’s the only way Ukraine can win. So far, even Biden hasn’t been stupid enough to let that happen and it looks like the French got cold feet about sending troops.
Yikes! The word “humiliated” really upsets you. Is now a grande talking point for you. Are you trying to clown us Freepers? Sure looks like it.
TMFINR!
you zeepers sure love that word “humiliated”
bloodlust getting the best of you?

No - it's an indicator of the hand of MI-6.
Tell MI-6 to give The Putin his Taylor Swift passion doll back.
