Russia has redeployed 50,000 troops to the Kursk region as part of efforts to push back Kyiv forces in the area, weakening Moscow’s military presence in Ukraine.
In September, President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine announced that Russia had begun counter-offensive actions in the Kursk region to respond to the surprise cross-border incursion of the area launched by Kyiv on August 6.
I guess they feel they have Donbas nearly wrapped up and can refocus. Totally sucks. Ukraine learned a hard lesson about Russia – there is no such thing as political pressure there. Putin owns the place 110% so he could ignore Kursk and it didn’t cost him anything meaningful at home. The only way for Ukraine to win is for the West to take off the restrictions and send a massive amount of weaponry.
Love the motor-trike support vehicle in the image!
What’s absolutely insane is that they pulled 50,000 away from most of the front, but still went hard on Pokrovsk… and have probably lost 50,000 soldiers since the Kursk invasion just in the Pokrovsk axis

Which deadline is it now? November 15th?

That’s just 50 days worth of soldiers
