Ukraine’s incursion into Russia: What is Kyiv’s goal? • FRANCE 24 English
Two and a half years into Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, Kyiv’s troops last week launched a major counter-offensive into Russia’s Kursk region. For more insight, FRANCE 24’s Delano D’Souza is joined by Peter Zalmayev, director of the Eurasia Democracy Intiative. “I see the intention is to try to get entrenched in Russia’s territory in order to use it as a bargaining chip in eventual negotiations with the Russian side”, he said. But “the end goal, we don’t know yet” what it is.

This is now called: Ukrainian Special Operation inside Russia😂😂😂😂
Peter Zalmayev is also a comedian 🙂they dream to swap more than 20% of Ukraine territory hold by Russia against 0,003% of territory they temporary captured in empty villages
1:44 O goal. Within one month they will feel what is what.
From India.
Ukraine will loose everything with this operation. Pokrovsk once taken will bring russian army behind the fortifications in Donbass and open the way to the center of Ukraine. Stupid PR thinking.
This is war of Asian and western
Just a special military incursion 😂
the goal is media attention
Laughable. Zero clue about military history and strategy. Several hundreds of prisoners? How about 800,000 Germans surrendering on the eastern front?
win the war weird title
But i ear that russia recapture these territory
What can 10K or 20K Ukrainians do to Russia? Anyone can see Ukraine can't keep whatever territory it had. Zelenskky is just sending these men to their death! Russia is on it's way to take Pokrovsky. It's just a media stunt! This is the only thing the guy said is correct!
The very powerful propaganda of anglosaxons…
Ukraine goal? Getting rid of Putler and the Muskals?
Stop spreading fake news ….
This is the biggest military gamble by zelensky
yours must go to the front to help. So get up and go fight. thennn .the other from e.g.Africa... countries will be invited in your home. So , how do you fell you warmonger?.
Its already crushed
Ukraine invade Russia just for TikTok and you tube😅😂😂
The Russian bots are struggling to find a way to claim that losing 1,000 km of Russian territory and having 2,000 Russian soldiers captured is a good thing and all part of the plan.
Fun with Flagg's. White stripe, Blue stripe, White stripe. I tink u will find that after le bountee is claimed on Putin's head, there is a Grand possibilitee that new cuntree's will emurge out ov le current Russian Federation.
What is Kyiv’s goal in Kursk? Simple embarrassment of Putin & the removal of Putin military assets.
There will b no next us election… To survive deep state has to go to war.. Trump is comming.. He will shut down nato.. No way deep state goona trust on Trump.. Big war escalation comming to derail us election prepare yourself…
Al Jazeera is totally different from all western Media. Al Jazeera say from today, Russia is pushing back and recapturing villages, The West still saying Ukraine is advancing very fast.
Nato set their own redlines and then cross them 😂😂😂
Self delusion.
Kursk offensive was to divert Russia troops from front line and Pokrovsk. Keep watching POKROVSK
May b Comedian jus wan his name to b in history to record he invade RUS…
Simply laughable. Ukraine wanted kursk nuclear power plant. Failed. Ukraine thought Russia would move troops from donbas towards kursk nothing like that happened.
Ukraine had to deploy all reserves into Kursk .Zelensky to send more troops and equipment into Kursk.
Ukraine is doomed as war not ending soon
The USA is funding the slaughter of humans in Occupied Territories. Russia and China are not.
At this point of time do not follow western media, for true news al Jazeera or trt
I can tell you that Ukraine most likely do not know the end game themselves, they were most likely surprised how easy it was for them and how easy the Russians ranaway /surrendered, i am convinced that the ukranians are just making it up as they go. Even though i hope that is favours Ukraine somehow, i must be host and say that this can go any way for now.
ukraines goal is to take revenge for isreal . westen people are the real fools
russia will respond. just wait
What a diversionary sacrificed incursion been doing by Ukraine and allied soldiers including mercenary fighters!🤦
What are these commentators excited about? Do they think these suicidal people will live long on this Russian land?
That will not happing
Western media euphoria of past week starting to crack. Hard to hide evacuation from a city of 60,000….."
What a stupid analysis. For sure, Russia will trade 500 sq km with 118000 sq km. It is all propaganda. Ukraine toasted by opening another front. Write my words and talk to me after few weeks. Any country can have incursion into undefended boarder. See what comes next. Propaganda steam already cooling off. Ukraine lost land and no way going to get all back.
Russia as become a stupid country from I was young I taught Russia was a real war country now im disappointed I can't believe Russia is so stupid NATO gonna set up base in RUSSIA
Stupid argument!
Their thinking, not hard to figure out. Ukraine attacked , now they are fighting back.
What utter nonsense
Kursk has been historical Ukrainian
the plan is to force russia to defend their entire border, 200,000 men, billions russia doesn't have
Virtually every story on the Ukraine invasion of Russia, "What is Kiev's Goal" Ukraine hasn't stated what its goal is and commenters are making things up in real time. The propaganda value is obvious, but is there a political or military goal? Maybe there is no military or political goal. Let's fight and then we'll see what happens?
so now we dont even know, their goal is more war, its no longer about defense, and im sure every civilian is happy about that
A professor at mit University researched at the main public libraries in San Francisco, New York and LA, to gather evidence that Americans watch less foreign films today because of Netflix, HBOMax, Hulu, and other cable stations. Her contention though controversial at mit, deserves consideration. She looked at copies of newspapers from the 1970's, on microfiche and the evidence indicates Americans did watch more foreign films in the 1970's. In San Francisco looking at the SF Examiner on microfiche, she saw that in November 3, 1974, for example, the SF Examiner in the movie listings showed half the movies in the theatres, in San Francisco were European films, mostly from France and Italy.
Moreover, when she looked at a current SF Chronicle movie listing not more than 10 percent of the movies showing were foreign films. Interesting Americans seem to have lost their appetite for Italian films but not on vacations to Italy! There were no Italian films being shown in the SF Chronicle Movie guide listings, recently. The word Paparazzo comes from the 1960 film "La Dolce Vita" directed by Italian Director Federico Fellini, and is the eponym of the word paparazzi, Americans call the photographers who take photos of their celebrities, paparazzi How ungrateful, that Americans don't even watch Italian movies! In fact the mit professor was astounded how Italian movies are no longer shown in America anymore. Italian films are no longer distributed in America, and America has betrayed one of their closest allies, they claim to have liberated in ww2. I have to stand with Italy on this. Did America really liberate Italy or was it all political theater? Italians didn't understand what the Americans were going to do to them after they liberated them. Steal their film culture, and claim it as their own. What do Americans have against Italian movies? They can't make money off of Italian movies, that's what they have against Italian movies, Americans want everyone to watch their movies, it's really greed that Americans watch less Italian movies today. Americans before weren't as greedy, and didn't mind sharing the wealth with Italy. Blame Netflix, in fact I don't watch Netflix. If I was the Prime Minister of Italy, I would close the American Embassy in Italy, in protest and expel all American diplomats out of Italy. I would also ban American tourists from Italy.
It s all deception,, the real goal is ukranian wants to control europe by taking gas terminal from russia to europe. In other word,, ukranian is blackmailing europe to give eveerything they want
Well the level of propaganda is at a very dangerous level. Now NATO troops are alongside the Ukrainians, and they are attempting to escalate the war creating casualties.
This is not making the peace talks go very well at this point in fact trying to keep Russia from killing everyone who crossed the border is not easy right now. In spite of how this works into our economic plan for the region. So we are getting the KGB there for the talks to diffuse the situation. People have to understand that public opinion in Russia is so important like it would be in your country, that if necessary, they will all be killed in a day.
So far cooler heads have prevailed but this is not something nice to watch.
It's a delicate situation for Zelensky he needs to lock up the NATO troops fighting in his brigades there and stop this propaganda frenzy.
I wish I could tell you more but right now you see with this going on, I can't tell you more.
So French secret service needs to contact the CIA be invited to the Kursk region with Mi6.
So that leaders have proper communications coming to them from trusted sources.
