Putin weighs up his options after Kursk invasion | Ukraine War

Sky News military analyst Sean Bell looks at what Russia’s tactics are as it battles to contain Ukraine’s invasion into the Kursk region of Russia.

With both Moscow and Kyiv also focused on the Donbas, will Russia withdraw troops from the front line in the east to defend the region? Or let Ukraine occupy it heading into the winter?

  1. Agree with the host, blowing up the bridges at the point is a miscalculation. There is no urgency for Russia to divert the resources now.

  2. I'm pretty sure Ukraine said they don't want to keep- as in annex- the territory, rather than saying they intend on leaving soon. Keep in mind that once they take the land south of the Sejm river, they won't need nearly as many troops to hold it.

  3. Now the Western nations are realising the mistake of the strategy of sending the troops to attack the Russian in the northern sector…..

    Any neutral person can see the mistake from the Ukrainian side…. But the western media such as like SKY NEWS is still fooling the audience….that Ukrainian is winning….

  4. I must say, ive been missing all the Russian bots recently, its been a while…im not sure why they stopped commenting, does any one know?🤣🤣

  5. WHAT ANALYSTS IGNORE ABOUT THE WAR IS THIS:

    The new Ukrainian troops lack even a minimal level of training, commanders and soldiers from four brigades defending the Pokrovsk Area said. THESE ARE NOT TROOPS THAT DEFENDED BAKHMUT!

    The recently conscripted Ukrainians are a far cry from the battle-hardened fighters who flocked to join the war in the first year of the full-scale invasion.

  6. Sadly Russia's strategy will be to push for the Donbas borders, capture all territory in Donetsk, Luhansk and the remaining accessible in Zaporizhzhia then dig in and call the war a success before transferring everything they can to Kursk to push the Ukrainians out and then forcing everyone to sue for peace so they can recover ready for round 2.

  7. Zelensky played a wrong card at critical time. Russia's main aim was to capture Pokrovst, a last highly fortified region in Donbas. I guess Russians intentionally left weak places to encourage Ukrainians for doing so. As Ukrainians have moved better trained troops from Donbas to there, It opened a window of opportunity for Russians to increase pressure in Donbas region. Also, Ukrainian troops are now exposed to Russian drones in Kursk which lacks proper fortification and tree cover. I guess Putin will play a trump card: invading Kyiv from Belarus side because Ukraine has already deployed 1/3rd of its forces along Kursk, Bolgrade and Buryansk region. In short, Ukraine is going to pay a huge price for Zelensky's mistake.

  8. Russia are taking fortified Ukrainian defence lines since 2014. Ukraine attacked Russian defence line in 2023 summer and nearly made it to the first defence line before being pushed back. Ukrianian taking land in Kursk because it’s not heavily defended, this is a media PR incursion , realistically speaking everyone know Ukriane will hold Kursk as long as Russia lets them. Once winter kicks good luck to the Ukrainians being a long way from supply lines.

  9. Why’ll bbc exited about Ukraine gains in Kursk ther undertrained soldiers are dying in ther thousands enjoy your war games !no victory in sight for Ukraine time west stood up !

  10. "Putin weighs up his options" more bullshit from sky jews anyone would think micheal clarke was sitting in the kremlin..
    the only troops geo-located from the eastern front lines was battlehardened FPD operators, troops have come from siberia and the western front.

  11. Helping Ukraine isn't charity; it's an obligation for the free world! No one has the right to steal territories from an independent, UN-recognized state. Russia is our common enemy!
