This comment is completely biased.
The west has nothing to do with it .The west would be mad
I think counter air is the key. I also think it will be a transportation desert when they pull out, of their accord. This looks like giving the bear a quick kick in the testes and buggering off.
Russia trying to play blame game. Smh 💀💀💀💀

Nato deployed 20.000 troops for a last push into kursk . The main target was the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant as a barging tool. NATO failed miserably . This was the last attempt to save face . If Nato doesn't concede, this will escalate nuclear …
U.S. sending money and weapons and supporting NATO – yet they have "No involvement"? Cut me a break!
Isn't Donetsk, by popular vote since 2014, under international law, PART of Russia?? So… why/how can Ukraine order an evacuation of Russia??🙃
Украинское наступление в Курской области ускорило отступление из Донбасса.

Fake news
Ukraine is playing Russian roulette, NATO is pulling the trigger soon the game will end
They won’t be able to stay in Kirk for a long time. They will run out of weapons soon.
Same old twisting and turns bs 💩💩
Oh wow the MSM actually going to report Russian successes after being utterly giddy about Ukraine’s counter-invasion of Russian territory while completely giving up defending territory within its historical boundaries. Correction after watching the video it doesn’t cover anything about how Russia is advancing on Provrosk. Good job BBC at being just as reliable as RT. Utter rubbish news agency.
I guess they playing Chest. This two government is out of control… Free the citizens from both sides from this war..
Kasztany i żołędzie
