12,200+ Ukrainian Soldiers Wiped Out In Kursk; Russia Wins Back Nearly A Dozen Settlements

Russia appears to have launched its first major counterattack to drive Ukrainian forces out of Russia's Kursk region more than a month after Ukraine began its surprise offensive, according to Russian and Ukrainian sources as well as independent military analysts.
Russian forces appeared already to have some success on Tuesday -- retaking some territory and driving a wedge into Ukrainian lines in Kursk, analysts said.
Videos posted by pro-Russian military bloggers and geolocated by ABC News showed a large Russian armored column attacking toward the village of Snagost. Another video appears to show Ukrainian troops taken prisoner.
The Russian counterattack is focused on the western flank of Ukraine's incursion into Kursk that seized hundreds of square kilometers since it began on Aug. 6.
John Helin -- a researcher at the Blackbird Group, which conducts open-source military analysis -- wrote on X that Russian troops had launched a push from the west and north, driving a wedge behind Ukrainian troops toward Snagost. Russian military bloggers claim Russian forces are now attacking the village of Obukhov, which would mean Russian troops could have advanced more than 6 miles on Tuesday, Helin wrote in an article for the Finnish newspaper, Helsingin Sanomat.

Attacking on the Western Flank appears to say they are trying to cut off the Ukrainians in Russia.
Pooty Pooh must be up to receiving a fresh ass kicking.
NONE of our business and irrelevant to the very pressing problems within America’s border.
What’s the chance that Blinken becomes a target during his visit to Kiev?
unlikely
They knew the risks, and opted for a fleeting political win.
Agreed. Get us the hell away from this mess. Biden-Harris is just one disaster after another.
Reports with far too many ‘appears’ cannot be counted on to be truthful, especially when the biggest contributor to those reports ‘appear’ to be Russian.

Seems to me that in this conflict, any movement during daytime is a death wish. Night operations only for both sides.
Putin is actually overseeing all the actions in Ukraine.
Reports were that, about 2 years ago he was going to be marching into Kiev ready to claim it for Russia with thousands of Russian flags ready to be mounted on all buildings as far as the eye can see.
His goal is to see Ukraine become part of the Soviet Union again, but with a different name, such as the Russian Federation.
Many Russians will die in pushing out the Ukrainians —But they will be seen as heroes of the Motherland. The foes will pay a price for this move—in land. Make Russia mad and you stir up a hornet’s nest. They will fight for a hundred years now. The war will become worse—that is all.
….a repeat of the Ukies last failed summer offensive , this time maybe Vlad can pull off a Nazi Stalingrad style defeat- this happens when Nazis enter Russian territory…..the “ Last Ukrainian “ is nearing…Marioupol, Bakmut, Avdivka, etc…
No tears. The Ukies have turned down three Peace attempts ….on the West’s orders. The West has much blood on its hands- for all the world to see.
Let’s hope Turkey ( just joined Brics) pulls out of NATO, quickening their break up.
Sounds like you are lying.
