Key developments on March 12:

・Ukraine says it's ready to fight in Kursk Oblast 'as long as necessary,' as Russia claims to retake over 86% of seized territories

・Ukraine doesn't trust Russia but wants to show readiness for peace, Zelensky says on ceasefire deal

・Ukraine-US talks in Jeddah concerned potential territorial concessions, Rubio confirms

・Russia has stepped up attacks in Ukraine's south over past two weeks, military says

Russian troops have regained control of more than 86% of the territory in Kursk Oblast captured by Kyiv, Valery Gerasimov, the chief of the General Staff of the Russian army, said on March 12, while Ukraine said it was ready to fight as long as needed.

His claims come as multiple Ukrainian and Russian sources reported that Russian troops had entered Sudzha, a key Ukrainian-held stronghold in the Russian border region of Kursk.

Following Gerasimov's reports, Commander-in-Chief Oleksandr Syrskyi confirmed ongoing battles in the suburbs of Sudzha and the surrounding areas.

"In the most difficult situation, my priority has been and remains to save the lives of Ukrainian soldiers. To do this, the units of the Defense Forces, if necessary, maneuver to more favorable positions," said Syrskyi.

From the article: "Ukraine says it's ready to fight in Kursk Oblast 'as long as necessary,' as Russia claims to retake over 86% of seized territories"

"Ukraine doesn't trust Russia but wants to show readiness for peace, Zelensky says on ceasefire deal"

Question: How is telling the world your country is willing to fight for "as long as necessary", (even though you're losing bigly), showing that you're ready for peace?

It was 64% ten days ago....So Russia is going into “clean up” mode...especially since Putin visited the area today.

They should grab all the generals out of their cozy bunkers and replace the front line troops with them “as long as necessary”.

People are saying that Trump was played by Zelensky again to get his intel and funding back.

Zelensky is yapping again and being obstinate.

I saw footage of the battles. Russia had tons of those 1st person view drones flying around...how do you defeat that?!

I assume there are advanced weapons that can stop them or most of them but Ukraine doesn’t have those weapons.

Drones were chasing soldiers on foot.

3 soldiers shot at a drone until it hit them and killed it...and one can see the first hand footage as the drone flew at them. And killed them.

Then one drone blew up a building door and then 2 other drones flew in...like they could see!! I know they are remotely controlled but it’s still insane to watch.

Add me to that chorus.

Of course, do remember every single city that St Z the comedian visited in his green shirt photo ops fell quickly, Bakmut, Avidiivka, etc….called by many “ the Zelensky curse”…. Where ever St Z visits, defeat follows-please stay away, pretty please!

Oh I don’t know but this going back and forth, taking one position one day and the opposite one the following sounds almost like someone is on drugs.

But we know that can’t be.

Zelvis needs to cool it. With a flick of his wrist, Trump can cut the intel sharing and funding right back off.

And he won’t restore it so easily, if ever, next time around.

Are they going to fix bayonets? Thousands have no supply line. I doubt there will be any air drops.
