In my opinion it’s how they're going to cover their withdrawal from Kursk which has clearly stalled and failed to reach objectives. They're politically stuck in Kursk and suffering militarily for it. The counter attack idea made sense at Ocheretyne but now the Russians control all dominate high ground and have likely already entered the only viable staging area to mount a counter attack on this section of the front within 50km. You cant move manpower and material in under drone coverage and urban warfare. The gamble was Kursk, they may try something but I cant even see them reaching the starting line for a counter attack of any significance.

Yep! Dumb move.
Heh, this gets better by the day (not for Ukraine though).
LOL. Bravo to all the Zeeper trolls here who told us “At least Ukraine is at taking Russian territory”
Zelensky organized this fiasco purely as a PR maneuver for his NATO controllers and to give the paid social-media trolls in the West online fodder.
You know who you are.
Now that its falling part with thousands dead - what’s your next propaganda move?
I need a score card.
WWII Eastern front was a long story of pockets and massive capture of enemy troops. Both sides.
Under ideal circumstances, a blitzkrieg or someone like Patton can thrust deep into enemy territory and ignore their flanks. This can be effective. But there is always the risk of being in a pocket from which there is no way to exit. And here we are.
Dumb move going in hot then blowing up bridges so there can be no further advances for either side. All so Zelensky can justify prolonging this nonsense at our expense. This is why we can’t have nice things.
Would the UKEs ask NATO to airlift them out or air drop supplies to fight their way out of the Kursk pocket?
I bet the US would just love it if the Russians shot down NATO flights. That could start WWIII.
We sure spent a lot of money and emptied our stockpiles and fuel reserves getting us into WWIII. Going to be fun when the shtf.
Deploy all the smoke you have and create MOAR; then rapidly move at night. Blindly.
No other options.
Everyone on the Planet knows the Ukies are done, cooked…..except for senile Joe’s gang and the usual Russia haters.
Way past time to give it up and admit defeat, and hope Vlad goes easy on that God forsaken, corrupted nation called Ukraine.
When did you realize the Ukes were in a pocket designed for their liquidation? I’m telling you, the whole thing was a RUSSIAN rope a dope operation from jump.
After the offensive stalled, they withdrew their good guys and rotated less experienced,poorly trained replacements and ordered them to dig in.
Then they blew the bridges to shut off what would be the evacuation routes for the cannon fodder troops they rotated into Ukraine.
I’m sure it was a Sun-Tzu level Russian plan. All they’d have to do is answer the question: What operational move would the Ukes seek in order to capture and sue for peace?
The Ruskies made themselves appear weak, and created a kill box.
I’m offering the only alternative the Uke CG has, aside from surrender. Or die in place.
Would they shoot down NATO planes/helicopters evacuating UKE troops?
Would the US respond by downing Russian combatants in the moment?
How quickly could this escalate?
Would Biden hurry back from being comatose of Rehoboth beach to get to the situation room at the White House and take charge?
I’ll be happy when Russia gives up and Ukraine is totally free again. All these pro-Russian propaganda bots are taking up too much space and everyone knows what is really going on. Russia has lost all their original troops from 2022. They were kicked out of Ukraine and could not even properly invade Ukraine. A force of rear echelon soldiers kept Russia from taking an airfield close to Kyiv and they had to drive in instead. Sitting ducks.
LOL. That Ukie/NATO plan invading Kursk has backfired Big Time.
Delta7 “Ukies are done, cooked”
How many times have you said that since 22 February 2022?
