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?

PUTIN HAS BEEN OFF LINE for over 10 DAYS !
Pls PROVE he's alive anyway at this moment…
Whoever is doing the maps for sky needs to wake up and FOCUS
Go Ukraine💙💛
Putin options lol this western News are true crap😂😂😂😂
Yeah more bla bla Putin was ill then he wasnt, now hes got state of emergency lets see how it will go for Ukraine and the west
Sky News get's the leftover experts after the major news outlets got the smart and daily educated ones.
Russia recruiting youth. Teens
16/19
Russia putler youth is russias last stand…..
"Embarrassing pewtin" 😆
But will it be televised on HBO?
I'm still searching for the person who tricked my grandfather into buying a calculator, claiming it was an iPhone 5.
the same TV that said that russian was running out of missiles two years ago….
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.
Every time they say shortage of manpower Ukraine goes and invades Russia.
Maybe if Ukraine get what it wants we would not have this interview?
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.
These two are not well informed. Pls get better people.
Greatest Uno Reverse in history.
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….
I stopped listening to this "expert" two years ago.
Ukraine fighting in Russia and in Africa! Rather than defending their territory, something stinks about this whole story.
'80,000 Ukrainians Troops Flee War': Big Alarm In Kyiv As More Troops Refuse To Fight Russia. they didnt learn from hitler
What are the chances of Ukraine holding Kurks during winter?
Uncomfortable position of the propaganda agents having to present a defeat as an open sitiation…
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?🤣🤣
I love how TV folk in London know more than the Russians or Ukrainians on the front lines. Somewhat ridiculous.
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.
Putin is a loser making Russia weaker because of Putin.
Putin and the Kremlin are the problem.
Only 12km into a mammoth of a country
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.
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.
All the enemies who attacked Russia have never returned alive. Check history
Ukraine sacrificing Donbas for a PR stunt in Kursk
Who is in charge of the mapping, putting Ukraine's gains in yellow rather than bright blue seems suspect.
Who dug this guy up.
Will Putin nuke his own land? 😂
Putin wait and allow Ukraine soldiers come deeper inside and they all never back to Ukraine 😂
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.
Putin should just go on exile in North Korea, Iran or Afghanistan 🇦🇫 to save Russia further embarrassment
Why don't they tell the truth. Even with all the $$$ Ukraine got from the West they are currently slowly losing to Russia in Donbass.
Excellent analysis by Sean Bell.
My eyes always shoot to assess the stature to see if it’s M Clarke or not in milliseconds 😂
The most stupid military Planning ever to invade a small village no city a village In Russia they just played in russia's hand
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 !
"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.
British busy dealing with riots
There seems to be a balanced approach here!? A big difference compared to before!
To the presenter on the left: Your suit doesn't fit.
Who's gonna retrieve the dead bodies of the Ukrainian soldiers who are being massacred inside Russia 🤔
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!
OVER 100,000 russian citizens HAVE EVACUATED THEIR HOMES….sound like a "success"?
