1. This so called professor is nothing but garbage 😅

2. Wion is Russia
   Russia is Wion 😅

3. NATO invaded Russia. German tanks are in Russia in Kursk and we known what happened in Kursk in 1941. German forefathers were in Kurst the well-known Nazies. As a Russian said scratch a German and you get a Nazi.

4. Like he knows the armored loses of ukraine. He must be taking Putins numbers for fact. The south attack will subside because their getting less now.

5. ma questo commentatore, è aggiornato? l'esercito ucraino ha' fatto saltare anche il terzo ponte,ora 700 militari russi, si dovranno arrendere,perché circondati

6. This guy kissed both cheeks of Putin.,then sucked the middle out. Using Nato missles blaa russia using Iran's Korea's China's Syria's Chechen's Belarus weapons but we dont say were at war with them.

7. Stupidity western countries / Europe against Russia 🤷🏽‍♂️🤷🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️. All Russia wants is to protect its people and borders for years. Same goes for Palestinian people, tired of being oppressed and want freedom. The greedy west wants to keep on making wars = 💰💰💰💸💸💵💵

8. US and NATO wanted to capture Nuclear Power plant in Kursk. Unfortunately Ukraine could not do this with its western partners' weapons including F-16s. Now NATO is telling something foolish.

9. only person that talk sense. the rest of westerners have lost credibility. everything they say is all childish.

10. The people of Ukraine got rid of the corrupt government in Ukraine because the people vanted: 1 To join EU. 2 Less cortuption. 3 Real Democracy. 4 To be able to spesak Ukrainian. 5 To have Ukrainian TV, Ukrainian shools, Ukranian books, Ukrainian radio and so on

11. Follow professor ,scott Ritter ,duran and many more they hit the spot .

12. Rational and logical

13. where is nafo bot?

14. It is crazy how they keep talking about Ukraine being in Russia but not talking about how Russia about to take Ukraine Key City that help them supply weapons and use that city as it based.

15. Why did Ukraine do this? Showing Russia they need to protect their boarder will force them to do so, causing more money, troops and assets to be spent elsewhere in the long term. Genius.

16. Strategic embarassment they call it

17. When did Dr Diessen fight? Did he serve? It’s called an “offensive” in Kursk. Russia is NOT accelerating the territory they are taking. They are actually at only 75% of the rate in the 2 weeks previous and only about 66% during this incursion. The Russians are loosing 1,000+ men a day, now the units that would have been fed into that grinder are on the road to Kursk, it’s not an immediate Causeway V Effect! Concurrently, the Ukrainian army is finally fighting the war they have been trained to, it’s called a combined arms attack, and it’s working. I feel the good Dr is afflicted with Confirmation Bias. The losses, documented are predominantly static vehicles with the troops already dismounted, the difference between western Armor, tanks, IFVs, APCs, MRAPs etc, trade metal for men. The vehicles can be damaged or even destroyed with the crew surviving to fight another day. Comparing maneuver warfare to attrition warfare is intellectually dishonest. Many of the Dr’s facts are not contextual. None of the unit’s in Russia were pulled off the battlefield to make this attack. So I do not believe the Dr’s statement is accurate. There are also the intangibles that can not be seen right away. None of these units have been able to practice what they have been taught by the western/NATO trainers. The experience that these soldiers are gaining is invaluable when it comes time to either A: pivot them to a new front or B: use these units as cadre to expand the Ukrainian army and create twice as many units with fully 50% combat experienced soldiers and leaders. This is better than many of the American units sent to Iraq or Afghanistan.

18. Wow so many russian bot mofos on here keep typing zombies

19. Guys a fool they have now cut off another 700km and trapped over a 1000 troops

20. Longlive NATO nation

21. Russia invasion in Ukraine is miscalculation. Ukraine incursion is just a response. It would never happened if Putin wouldn't start the war.

22. Ukraine can exchange Russian territories to Ukrainian territories occupied by Russia.

23. Zelensky sent Ukraine military on a sucide mission into Kursk, I wonder if he Zelensky was asked to lead his military as general if he would do it? I suppose not.

24. It's nice to hear the Russian viewpoint. Thanks WION for letting us hear the Russian angle. I hope you give us the other side next

25. Wars are extremely expensive
