I work at the first window at McDonald's in Aurora, Colorado, U.S.A.🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 and I encounter all kinds of accents. I asked this one lady where she was from. She told me, "UKRAINE. 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦". I told her, "SLAVA UKRAINE!!!". She smiled and clapped her hands. It made her day. It made MY day to have made her day.

Propaganda works, eh? Most US people had never heard of the corrupt land bordering Russia but Washington insisted on a proxy war and the mainstream media propaganda went into action.
Ukrainians hate Mexicans.
As a Belgian i'm ashamed... how can we keep yelling that we need to support Ukraine, but then keep on buying gas from Russia? We didn't ask for this crap! Most of Belgium doesn't want gas from Russia. Put that gas where the sun doesn't shine
Ukraine have the European pipeline under control after this attack .
Its a free market and Russia has cheaper gas. Blame NATO'S illegal expansion
@FFGG22E what illegal expansion :p nato isn't a country? It's a coalition of countries, that other countries legally have a right to join. Just like Russia is allowed to allign with BRICS and their NATO equivalent.
Congratulations to the people of Kursk who voted overwhelmingly (97%) to join Ukraine.
The area is largely uninhabited and the Ukraine/mercenary troops will meet the same fate as the men of the 'Free Russia' (actually foreign mercenary) units that wasted their lives for propaganda purposes crossing into Belgorod oblast last year.
It makes sense to attack an area that is not heavily mined and is undermanned.
Thankyou. A very clear explanation of the objective in Kursk was given elsewhere that uggests that this is a well planned tactical manoevre by Ukraine. It's difficult to see without a map for people unfamiliar with Ukraine. Ukrainian troops were built up in Kharkiv and are pushing back. Now troops enter from the north west Sumy region and breech russian defences weakky held by conscripts. The tiktok Kadyrov army retreats and the young Russian conscripts surrender or flee. In a panic russian jets are sent to bomb and that results in loss of their own soldiers as well.
Now Russia has a problem as Ukraine is 10 klm inside Russia so they send troops from Kharkiv to Kursk. This weakens the Kharkiv offensive and Ukrainians push forward.
On the map younsee clearly the Russian dilemma. They have Kharkiv south of Kursk and It becomes a pincer attack. Their Kharkiv offensive is sacrificed to defend Kursk whuch makes it easier fo Ukraine to re capture it and possibly keep moving to join the Ukrainian Kursk offensive.
Russia is overstretched.
Very few Russian troops were at the border, allowing Ukrainian invaders to move -- but they're being hammered with artillery, FABs and missiles and the Russian reserves haven't been committed yet. This propaganda event will end with heavy losses and be forced to retreat as the previous Belgorod invasion was. The outcome of this war is Ukraine regime defeat.

I wonder if firing American weapons from inside Russia is different from firing them from Ukraine into Russia. What does Jake Sullivan think?
great point
@@evilaquaman He doesn't think.
It will probably be the same thinking weapons that need the free world’s satellites and targeting will probably be seen as a foreign power killing your people while this is okay with a lot of western nations don’t be surprised if they hit back and give me a good reason why they shouldn’t
He is not worried about killing russians from American weapons.
lol
So, Russia has been threatening to do a Kharkov in this area and were meant to be assembling troops for it. The Ukrainians then had to have troops here if only to defend. Now the maxim is, the best form of defence is attack and the Ukrainians are attacking with what they had to have there anyway - they couldn't deploy it to the East.. Maybe they are setting up a moving ambush for Russian aviation (first on the scene) and then perhaps for other ground troops arriving piecemeal. It certainly creates problems for the Russians and a big political problem for Putin - it is being reported on Kremlin TV after all. The Russians can't not react.
why, it will be theirs in the end anyway, why risk soldiers when missiles are cheep
This didn't age well 😂
@@sickboy8682How so?
"Is this my planned buffer zone? But why is it on my side of the border?": Vladimir Putin, self proclaimed master strategist.
From an operational and strategic point of view, this attack makes absolutely no sense. This seems like a gross waste of people and resources that are so needed elsewhere
- said Pasi Paroinen, an analyst from the Finnish think tank Black Bird Group.
An expert from the Institute for Foreign Policy Research, Rob Lee, agrees with him, adding that if Kyiv wanted to divert part of the Russian forces, then it has no chance of doing so. In his opinion, Russia has much more powerful forces in the area, command and control, as well as reserves not yet used in special operations.
It is unlikely that this operation will force Russia to withdraw significant forces from Ukraine

Germany’s Last WW2 Offensive - Every Division, Every Day
ruclips.net/video/PBzsYDwftoo/видео.html
In March 1945, just weeks from the end of World War 2 in Europe, Germany launched a desperate attack on the Eastern Front, with its last remaining reserve of tanks. The result was a battle involving more than 600,000 troops that has been almost totally forgotten in the histories of the war. This was Operation Spring Awakening, Germany’s last offensive of the second world war.

The Russian military’s Sever Group of Forces and the Russian Federal Security Service continue to eliminate Ukrainian troops who infiltrated the Sudzha and Korenevo districts of Kursk region, the Ministry of Defence announced on August 8.
“Over the 24 hours, active actions of the State Border Covering Force along with border units, reinforcement units and arrived reserves, air and missile strikes, and artillery fire prevented the enemy from advancing,” the ministry said in a briefing. “Fire damage is inflicted on the located AFU manpower and hardware clusters. Attempts of separate units to get to the depth of territories in the Kursk direction were foiled.”
Russian airstrikes also targeted the approaching Ukrainian reserves on the territory of the Sumy region, according to the ministry.
Ukrainian losses in Kursk over the last 24 hours amounted to up to 400 troops and 32 armoured vehicles, including one tank, four armoured personnel carriers, three infantry fighting vehicles and 24 Kozak armoured fighting vehicles.
“Since the beginning of battles in the Kursk direction, the AFU losses have amounted to up to 660 Ukrainian troops, 82 units of armoured hardware, including eight tanks, 12 armoured personnel carriers, six infantry fighting vehicles, 55 armoured fighting vehicles, and one counter obstacle vehicle,” the ministry said, noting that the operation to neutralize Ukrainian troops in the region was “in progress.”
Videos released recently by the ministry showed a cluster missile strike on a Ukrainian convoy and artillery strikes on a Polish-made Krab self-propelled howitzers as well as strikes by Ka-52 attack helicopters and others with Lancet loitering munitions against several infantry fighting vehicles, including a German-made Marder 1A3, in addition to two Kozak vehicles.
Kiev forces launched their surprise attack in Kursk early on August 6, relying mainly on heavy weapons supplied by the United States and other Western allies. This indicates that the attack was orchestrated with help from NATO.
While Kiev forces managed to infiltrate Russian territory and make few temporary gains in Sudzha and Korenevo, the heavy cost of the cross-border attack remains unjustified especially that Ukrainian troops in key directions like Donetsk are nearing collapse.
My god, how desperate must be Putin, i'm sure he won't sleep well tonight.
Yes as Ukraine throws away another 2 battalions for nothing.
Uneasy rests the head that wears the crown - Putin never has a sleepless, restful night - that is his legacy
@@samsungtap4183 first of all, they've taken 4 batallions captive. That'are 3000 soldiers less for Russia.
To many analysts argue in the "to be expected thinking" .... doing the unexpected / not "logical" forces the Russian into hasted reaction. The immediate Russian response can only be via Airpower ..... so were are the F-16 waiting ?
This report seems quite old and even when produced quite inaccurate. Most recent varifiable infomation shows deep penetration, a rout, and the eastern "collapse" was very like the bait for the northern invastion. Just my 2 cents. Slava Ukraine
Based on Market Garden, I think flexibility in planning is permissable.
No change in the aim though which was to capture the bridges.
There was a photo of crashed and burnt out Ka-26 helicopter claiming to be the one on one of X channels .
Situation suddenly got fluid. We will see how it plays out. Is it a re-run of Gettysburg or a brilliant gambit?
damn ukrainians keep impressing me
welcome back Dom, in the voice of john Cleese from life of Brian and regarding your much needed holiday "now don't do it again" lol
Could be a maneuver to shorten up the front lines. It’s definitely a seriously bold move but… to what end?
Ukraine has had a quick referendum of the captured Russian towns and they all wish to be part of Ukraine!
Civilians were evacuated from border villages as Ukraine artillery was randomly targeting them. The Ukrainian regime, unlike Russia, targets civilians since 2014 knowing that the western media won't report it.
Shocking turnout and overwhelming support! What are the odds? 🤣 I was just thinking about how much better the russian civilians will be treated by the Ukrainians.
Muammar Gaddafi is calling Putin home….come lad, there’s no snow here
When ephemeral PR headlines are more important than retaining your best Nato-trained units and last of your reserves.
The next part will be: Ukraine learns it set a trap for itself.
Tik Tok invasion.
It's not always obvious what thing will precipitate the collapse of Russia's relatively demoralized forces, in the way one may see in Doctor Zhivago. Clausewitz recommends the capture of the enemy capital, but obvious loss of regional control may suffice.

Syrsky said in the Guardian article that Russia has 520,000 deployed in Ukraine and that shall rise to 690,000 by Q4 2024. Strongly suspect that once the AFU is destroyed in Kursk, 170,000 Russian forces shall be forward deployed in the Sumy region.

Dom: - “the sport of kings”
Verbal diarrhea
The West does not understand the actions of the Ukrainian command, which launched an invasion of the Kursk region of Russia. According to several military analysts, the operation "doesn't make any sense." The New York Times writes about this.
The American publication interviewed several Western military experts regarding the new operation of the Ukrainian army to invade the Russian border region. The general consensus among analysts is that this attack has no significance in a military sense. Even if the General Staff of the Ukrainian Armed Forces planned to use this operation to divert Russian forces from other directions, this is complete nonsense, since the Russian Armed Forces have much more reserves and can bring them into battle without easing the pressure on the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
What makes them think this is purely a military strategy? Ukrainians know their best chance of defeating Russia is pressing the weak points of the economy and political system. What if there´s an official who doesn´t like Putin and is thinking of staging a coup, and he´s exactly the official who Putin will scream at for allowing the offensive to happen? This might push him over the edge and create chaos in Russia. Or, this is a diversion for a much bigger action somewhere else.
Poor analysis. This sort of innovative surprise is what Ukraine is good at and it keeps the Russian guessing as to where they need to deploy their forces. The operation also took out a Russian heicopter nd made Putin weak as he cannot protect his borders.
Attack failed, massive Ukrainian losses.
I see no evidence of that so far as the front keeps expanding.

Mr Lewis should move into a caravan on the field and he will be treated as royalty by the local council, and ALL usual planning rules will suddenly be “ forgotten “ 😳
a war is ongoing but council rules are supreme
Regarding the obsolete cars being sent to Ukraine: If these cars are no more street legal in UK, how can they be driven to Ukraine? I guess I am missing a kind of grace period so the cars are still legal but will be banned in a short time. Until the deadline they can be used and driven for the remainder of their legal life. Correct?
The west breaks its own laws and rules as it fuels and prolongs Washington's proxy war in Ukraine. It also breaks international law (e.g. stealing Russian assets in western banks and authorising Ukraine attacks on civilian targets like nuclear power stations and the cluster bombing of Dontesk).
🎉😂🎉🎉
This is surely an act of desperation by Ukraine.
Wrong Ukraine has to draw Russian assets from somewhere so there can be a bigger better surprise 😉 bad bot!

Looks like Battle of the Bulge part Deux. AFU gathered all its remaining offensive power and hurled it at one spot; hoping to capture something valuable enough to get more favorable terms in a war they know is unwinnable. Precisely the justification for the original Battle of the Bulge. That one failed to achieve its meager goals; so too will this one...."
