What the hell, i’m on holiday for 3 days and i’m missing everything. Ukraine taking Russian settlements, that’s cool. Hope the US and others won’t go wimpy on this.
Great news.I hope it’s not a temporary thing like it was with russian volunteers legion,attack and retreat.
Maybe Ukraine should now run a referendum on those settlements and proclaim they now part of Ukraine
Already punched deeper into Russia in 2 days than Russia punched into Ukraine (Kharkiv) in 2 months
I hope they know what they’re doing…
The RF, from 2nd best army in the world to 2nd best army in Kursk.
Edit: RAF wrong acronym, thanks for pointing out!
Turnabout is fair play.
Part of the plan.
Interesting but seems risky. Does Russia have reserves to send there? Looks bad for them but do they even care about these little towns?
Clever strategy occupy russia and then trade russia vs ukraine ground
Looks like a good distraction move by UA, now ruzzians have a dilema, do they continue their attack elswhere on the front or do they move to defend their territory here, also as a bonus they will be wiping their own towns of the face of the earth instead of Ukranian ones.
LETS FUCKING GOOOOO!
This forces Z to devote more forces to defense of its original lands.
Its a doolittle raid,a tet offensive..
This is great news! It may just be a feignt to lure Russians away from other fronts but if its not I say please Ukranian defenders hold your ground! The eyes of the world are upon you, we believe in you!
Fuck yes! 🙌🏻
Honestly don’t understand how this isn’t a suicide mission.
Big if true
F16 helping? Any vids out there?
Wonder what their purpose or value of this was?
In all honesty, I don’t see much resulting from this, if anything at all.
I love the notion of Ukraine taking an equal amount of Russian territory. The ultimate trolling.
Make sure to steal all their toilets. If they have any.
What a crazy year.
I hope Ukrainians take control of the nuclear plant .
Just like the Russians can try to attack in different places trying to redistribute Ukrainian troops, Ukraine can play that. game as well.
Source?
Where dothey go from here? Its not gonna a raid and then they leave again right? How will they expand and capitalize on this?
Correct me if I’m wrong but they will never keep this territory because of the United States. What is the goal behind this?
Someone has to establish that neutral zone. Russia tried it and failed, now it’s Ukraine’s turn. If they can hold it, it’s also a good bargaining chip in case Russia wants to push borders for a peace treaty. Good luck to all involved!
Technically, with this speed, they will reach Moscow in 50 days. I don’t think this is really possible now, but this fact makes russian generals nervous.
Makes sense. Seems like moscowites thought that they can leave their border with a token force or manned with combat ineffective depleted paper-units while they spend their manpower in these meat-wave attacks and now they are paying the price for that.
If nothing else it reminds them that they will need to man that front meaningfully which might alleviate some pressure elsewhere in Ukraine.
Didn’t they spend a lot of effort recently to build an “impregnetable” line of fortifications there supposedly after the russian volunteer units took some ground for a little while some time ago? Or, I suppose, the funds could have been “lost” somewhere in the process in a typical russian fashion.
When they invade you but you manage to slowly invade them back.
The well-known officer and analyst Tatarigami (UA) writes: Attacking an oblast without a strategic purpose borders on mental retardation! The situation in the direction of Pokrovsk is critical. In several areas the defenses have collapsed and are not yet stabilized, which is largely due to a lack of personnel. Withdrawing almost a brigade for an attack on Kursk Oblast, which lacks strategic sense, borders on mental retardation!
If they take the Kursk nuclear plant they can negotiate end of the war or start a nuclear holocaust only 15 km away
Are these troops from the Freedom of Russia legion, or are they from the Ukrainian military proper?
I’m aware they’re both essentially in the Ukrainian military, but in the past these border raids were conducted with military units that have that degree of separation from the Ukrainian military.
Source?
If that is true, then Ukraine has just taken more territory in a day than Russia has in Donetsk in MONTHS. With far less casualties
I am not a strategist but probably Ukraine is trying to distract Russia and attract enemy forces in that area to ease the pressure of Donbass
Special Advancement Operation
Couldn’t it be possible to go around all the defense positions of the Russians by moving through Russian territory and attacking the enemy from the back then? Seems easier without all the mines and whatnot.
Of course, that’s what the Russians shall be afraid of now, and that alone would have impact.
How likely are they to get cut off? No capacity for casevac or resupply so surely there is no question of holding the ground that has been taken?
