Another factor regarding the recycled Russian POWs is that they have already experienced Ukrainian captivity and will be even more disposed towards surrendering rather than dying.
@25:00 if the Russians turn their POWs directly back onto the front line, those soldiers may be more likely to be captured. Plus they may tell their comrades that the Ukrainians treat the POWs well. Again maybe helping them capture more in the future.
If they are sent back to the front they can testify to their comrades the horror stories are not true, if sent back to home they can tell their friends and family. Both are awful for the Putin regime.
Thank you, Jonathan for your little update on Kursk.Another thought on sending the ex pow back to the front is they can tell the other troops that the Ukraines are not the bogeyman in the war

I think the error that causes some confusion in the 9:14 twitter post is that Intelschizo meant to say terrain, not train. Possibly due to auto-correction. The whole post makes sense if you just replace that word. Not so much if you start thinking about training or trains.
Hi, Jon & Team. The Kursk area has involved complex and fluid movement. Poorly understood movement. It seems to be a floating craps game. Getting the truth is like pulling teeth, but like a bad tooth it eventually comes out. High losses are a religious thing in Russia, evidently.
It's not only Russian shifting troops from Povkorovsk and other areas that will help Ukraine in the Donbas that is important. Any troops shifted to the Kursk region have to be supplied as well. This means that other areas will have far less ammunition etc coming their way reducing their ability markedly to continue on the offensive.
The slowdown in the Russian counter-attack in Kursk is more likely due to resupplying forces in the Glushkovo salient now that they have recaptured Korenovo. As long as they control Korenovo Russia holds the initiative in counterattacking. Furthermore I am not convinced that Russia needs upwards of 70k men to retake Kursk because the Ukies havent had enough time to set up meaningful fortifications, I think thats likely more wishful thinking on Zelenksy's part.
Ukraine has had nearly 6 weeks thanks to russian disorganisation, command structure and putin's ego Ukraine didnt focus on capturing vast swathes of territory after first week^
I do not think fortifications are being built *_within_* Kursk, but rather at defensive spots on the border. Insomuch as Zelenskyy is concerned, this can be what he was talking about.
@@sirsmeal3192 ukraine wants to hold onto kursk salient for as long as possible, until the end of the war zelensky said. i also believe 2 groups were sent to build defenses in week 2/3
Ru sending exchanged conscripts back to the front line is dumb. They know they will be treated well if they surrender. They will tell other soldiers that, defeating Ru lies. What will they do if attacked ? Fight to the death or surrender again ?
Another interesting view on Kursk was presented by Paul (a former platoon commander in Afghanistan) in Combat Vet News. He says the start of the new incursion into Kursk from Ukraine occurred almost simultaneously with the Russian attempt at a breakout from their own poorly supplied area south of the major river. He believes that Ukraine was waiting for the Russian offensive, since the prepositioning of troops and logistics is not something that can be done instantaneously. Now the Russian troops that are attempting to breakout are no longer in defensive positions, and the Ukrainian thrust up into the middle of the pocket will be hitting at the Russian rear areas, affecting supplies and command/control. Also, with Russia out of their trenches, they are now fighting a mobile battle, one that they have proven in the past to be rather inept at handling, but which is the strong point of the NATO trained Ukrainian forces. Thought you would be interested, if you have not already taken in his opinion.
Regarding russian POW..... if a POW is sent straight to the front again, wouldn't they just resign at first chance and be POW again, because they know what will happen?
Possibly. Odds are they do not go back to their old unit, but are added to whatever meat wave is being formed. As such, they do not know who to trust and may not speak that freely.
Sort of. They bypassed the blown bridges to the east sending a thrust into the pocket to resupply the "trapped" conscripts. In doing so, they added several thousand troops to the opened pocket. The question is whether the Ukrainians can reseal the pocket and trap them all.
These conscripts who have been sent back to the front line are now likely to surrender quickly if they find themselves in difficulty. Having been in Ukraine captivity knowing they will be treated well they won't be afraid to surrender and are likely to convey that to others.
Russia sending prisoners exchange troops back to front line could increase number of troops that willing to surrender as they will tell fellow Russian soldiers that the ukraine treats POW well etc contradicting what the Russian command tells them.

@@ATPGeo If you like that one, try this one from the same guy: "The Ideology of Putin's Russia." There is more on his channel that also looks interesting.
It’s being said that the Ukrainians allowed the Russians to move towards and into Snagost so that Ukraine could affectively entrap the enemy forces located there
@@hgv1947 IT seems to be common knowledge, ive seen it said in many channels on the war. Most of them have contacts with ukraine military, or ex-military themself. Doesnt guarantee it'll work n i take it with a pinch of salt, but from what i can tell its highly plausible
I have seen that and can only say that the opportunity is there. Between the Seym River and the Ukrainian front line is a narrow supply route that can be cut off. The pocket now includes thousands of more troops and fresh equipment, but only what gas, food, and ammunition continuing to flow through that gap.
Prisoners returned to Russian and rapidly re-deployed to the front might be more willing to surrender again, if only to get a warm meal. They will also talk to their brothers-in-arms and spread the word that prisoners taken by Ukraine are treated well and returned eventually. That may help other Russians surrender more readily.
I wonder how the Russian VDV soldiers managed to get into that pocket south of river Seym and west of Koroneve. This area is locked between the river with no bridges and pontoons regularily destroyed and on three edges surrounded by Ukrainian controlled area.
as the river swings west, they pushed through that corner and 'liberated' the northern west corner of ukrainian held territory, which was butting up against the river, thusly opening up the road into the pocket/cauldron south of the river
The Russian conscripts from Kursk who became POWs are treated like a yo-yo - in and out they go. Yet another detail to be added to the increasingly nuanced hierarchy of how people are treated different in the Russian army.
G'Day JP If you zoom into the border from Tetkino to the western edge of the main Ukrainian controlled land you will see 8 small border crossings . You will also see a road on the russian side that runs full length of the border that allows russian troops to rapidly deploy along the border . Then if you use the map that shows russian fortifications you will see the first line of defence a bit further in from this road but running almost parallel to it and then the second line which looks to me like it is following high ground . My guess is that russia pulled forces from this second line to reinforce the counter attack which gave Ukraine the opportunity to breech the unsupported first line at Novyj Put Well Ukraine has now breeched both of those lines so can run the border using the russian border road opening up another 7 potential border crossings . While there is not much like settlements on the Ukrainian side of the border to act as staging posts , Ukraine does have a lot of fast IFVs & APCs and 7 border crossing points is a lot to neep under constant surveillance So Ukraine could have lots of logistical resupply routes while russia is still hemmed in by the river crossings This could be very well be a trap to draw russian troops out from their fortifications . Time will tell A commenter on Combat Vets channel made a claim that Ukraine had allowed the armour to cross on pontoons then destroyed the bridges again before the convoy of support vehicles & ammunition could cross and we know that tanks are very thirsty beast . So we might need to have a very close look at Andrew's map to see what specifically was hit on the northern side of the river
@@harold22774 categorically false. Russia has been making significant gains along the south and eastern fronts specifically because they didn't fall for the bait in Kursk. Kursk was a mistake for Zelensky.
Another possible benefit to Ukraine of Russia putting these troops back on the front line is they would share their experiences when imprisoned and possibly make it more likely other Russian soliders would surrender. Still probably a net negative for Ukraine.
Rather than physically or emotionally degrading Russian POWs, could you render them ineffective in conscience by educating them in the realities of the Russian aggression, the war crimes and the devastation caused on Ukrainians?

This is from Euromaidan Press: Ukraine restricts Russian POWs’ phone privileges in response to executions of Ukrainians Ukraine has suspended the privilege of Russian POWs to make phone calls home. They will retain their right to send letters home in accordance with the Geneva Convention, which doesn’t guarantee phone call privileges for POWs.

It seems that, at least in Kursk, the Ukrainians are going back to their original tactics from over a year ago: go where they ain't and keep them guessing. Although, it's a little concerning that there's no mention of new Russian pontoon bridges being destroyed. It's been mentioned that allowing the Russians to cross the Seym river could be a trap. If so, wouldn't now be a good time to destroy those pontoon bridges, assuming they are still operational? There also seems to be a lack of news about the F16s. What are they doing? Waiting for permission to strike deep inside Russia? Supporting their troops inside Ukraine? Helping to intercept Russian missile attacks?
There will be a massive liability of the Russians sending the released conscripts back to front line as they will tell their new units how well they were treated as prisoners, thereby encouraging more surrenders. More likely they will be interrogated by FSB then sent back to rear echelons to be used as slave labour.
I remember when you said the Russian attack in Kharkiv was senseless I agreed with you . Ukraine going into kursk is just as senseless. Whoever came up with the plan needs to be sacked .
REALLY? Kursk changed the global narrative, it changed the headlines from 'oh dear, another ukrainian village taken/in danger' It HUGELY embarrassed putin, forced him to re-route troops away from the frontlines, slowing down the advances, 200k internal russian refugees who wernt protected by their 'strongman' putin, plus conscripts dying/POWs = internal pressure on putin.
