I hope for the Ukrainian's sake, it doesn't look like this.

Ukrainian soldiers fighting in Russia's Kursk region have described scenes "like a horror movie" as they retreated from the front lines.
The BBC has received extensive accounts from Ukrainian troops, who recount a "catastrophic" withdrawal in the face of heavy fire, and columns of military equipment destroyed and constant attacks from swarms of Russian drones. The soldiers, who spoke over social media, were given aliases to protect their identity. Some gave accounts of a "collapse" as Ukraine lost Sudzha, the largest town it held.
Ukrainian restrictions on travel to the front have meant it is not possible to get a full picture of the situation. But this is how five Ukrainian soldiers described to us what had happened.
On 9 March, "Volodymyr" sent a telegram post to the BBC saying he was still in Sudzha, where there was "panic and collapse of the front".
Ukrainian troops "are trying to leave - columns of troops and equipment. Some of them are burned by Russian drones on the road. It is impossible to leave during the day."
Movement of men, logistics and equipment had been reliant on one major route between Sudzha and Ukraine's Sumy region.
Volodymyr said it was possible to travel on that road relatively safely a month ago. By 9 March it was "all under the fire control of the enemy - drones around the clock. In one minute you can see two to three drones. That's a lot," he said.
"We have all the logistics here on one Sudzha-Sumy highway. And everyone knew that the [Russians] would try to cut it. But this again came as a surprise to our command."
At the time of writing, just before Russia retook Sudzha, Volodymyr said Ukrainian forces were being pressed from three sides.

Please address it by its proper name, mucusmaxillary.
Both Russia and Ukraine are losing forever what is left of their genetic best in this useless , catostrophic war that benefits only the globalists.
Russia liberates Russia? lol!

NOT a coincidence
Drivel
The Europeans’ battle plan “We will attack Russia until the last Ukrainian is dead.”
I prefer ‘Marcusmaxipad.’
I and others saw this from the start. Unfortunately human nature compels people to obsess over the immediate fight and not focus on the overall reality.
Thank you for your highly informative and penetrating insight. You must be Mensa material.
I like it!
Z-Man is Mansion shopping in France with his pallets of American Cash.
Why is the statement drivel?
This is a brother war. They are both losing men with at least enough testosterone to fight. The betas are back home, avoiding conflict.
No, It’s Maxipad.
The whole Kursk invasion seemed reckless and a needless gamble.
What was the point of using one’s best troops and equipment to take a meaningless piece of land, which then became surrounded on 3 sides and was a massive drain on resources?
If the goal was to to take the Russian nuclear plant in Kursk, when the operation failed, they should have withdrawn immediately and declared a moral victory. Indeed, the fake-media-MSM would have said “Putin embarrassed by flash invasion”
Zelensky turned a bad idea into utter failure - he killed 30K-50K of his own soldiers, expended needed equipment for other parts of the front, and lost momentum.
