So Alexander, why does russia take territory in Ukraine? Is it a PR stunt? Is it a political move? Is it to massage Putins ego? How does taking territory in Ukraine stop NATO expansion? It has led to 2 new nations into NATO. So far, Ukraine does not seem to have lost that many troops and can russia afford just having young conscripts guarding russian border or do they need to put more experienced troops there? If so, their offensive in other areas will be slowed down which will benefit Ukraine. If you dont understand simple things like that, maybe you should talk about other things. Why not kidnappings by senior judges in the UK legal system 😅
I have the feeling that the Ukrainians are desperate as they can be. Putin warned every nation that a incursion into Russia would be (will be) a reason for the usage of tactical nuclear weapons. The West said that they will unleash their nuclear arsenal if Russia even drops a small tactical nuclear weapon on Ukraine soil, even if no one lives at the place of the attack. Ukraine will anything at this point to bring NATO Boots on Ukrainian soil.
Yeah, I got warned several times about "hate speech" but I said nothing hateful. Calling nazis "bastards?" I wish YT would give me a pop up or tell me what I did wrong.
If nato are providing nato weapons and nato intelligence and nato targeting to attack Russian soldiers in Russia, then whats to stop Russia attacking nato troops in nato countries? I really hate our political class.
This has UK military leadership written all over it, still living in WW2 with the commando raids without taking into account modern technology and their opponent who in their mind can’t possibly be as good as they are. I say this as a UK citizen.
You would have thought that the name 'Kursk' would have sent shivers down the backs of the Ukrainian military planners? History is very likely to be repeating itself.
The Kursk Offensive is Ukraine's battle of the Bulge. They will gain some space but in the end their strategical reserves are destroyed. It will only quicken the end.

Reports saying that Kursk invited Ukrainian forces in order to obtain sovereignty as the Kursk People’s Republic. They are preparing for a vote to break away from Russia soon and the incursion will be legalized.
More like the Platensee offensive in Hungary march 1945. The Germans attacked the Red Army with 200 tanks and no air support. They went forward and took territory for four days until the Red Army shot them up and started the counter offensive that took them to Vienna. 2 months later the war was over and Hitler was dead.
Completely different scenario. Here Ukraine has limited objectives depending on how their attack pans out. One objective would be the nuke power plant, maybe to disable it. Then they will withdraw back to prepared positions. Easy.

Yesterday on Indian Times i saw large marches in Berlin of German people protesting against their country's involvement in Ukraine. Not on msm. But normal citizens are fed up with how much money their governments are wasting.
The germans are verry divided over this. In the east the involvment is unpopular. But I read and hear so many idiotic german comments that I get desperate living here.
Why are people claiming an offensive that's still making rapid progress as a failure? People like you were claiming it's been stopped every minute since this started and you've been completely wrong. I'm pro Russia but it's clear all western support and all good recruitment all year has gone towards this plan. Its a big mistake to consider this Ukraine the same one we have seen in the east this year
It took six months to clear Krynky, with supply having to cross a giant river and totally pinned in, with numerous assaults failing disastrously per video evidence. Thinking Russia will clear this easily I hope is correct but I would suggest this is likely to take a long, long time to clear. This much land in the east would take a vast amount of time to clear. Despite those in the east being overwhelmingly weaker than those in the North. I'm truly stunned Alexander is ignorant enough to compare this to Ardennes. It shows he knows almost nothing about ww2 apart from the very surface level of what happened. It's completely different in numerous ways.
Alexander also showing very poor knowledge of the situation on the ground, Sudzha has been bypassed and encircled and will fall inevitably. Neutral mappers all agree on that. Its hilarious that a true disaster and historic failure of military intelligence is spun as a good thing for Russia 😂
Ardennes failed primarily due to lack of fuel and the cloud cover clearing allowing Allied air forces to come into the sky. Obviously fuel is not in short supply here and air defence means the air force cannot provide close air support. Also the troops were poor, mostly from the east and non German. With very poor training and equipment. Those were the things that ended Ardennes and none of them apply here. The only similarity is that it is an offensive by a nation on the ropes. Pretty slim similarities just to find something to claim this will end in rapid disaster for Ukraine. When was the last time anything like this ended in rapid disaster? Its more likely to go into a long, grinding defensive phase that's intended to last until negotiations. The larger the land held, the more likely that is.
Alexander is such Putin fanboy - Ukraine took more in 3 days the Russia in 3 months (in their "greet summer Kharkiv offensive") 😂😂 You are such sore losers😁✌✌

Ukraine “attacked” directly into a literal “Russian kill zone kettle” near Kursk, and is now in the position of being the bug inside of a bug-hunter’s killing jar. So what are they supposed to do now? They can’t go any farther forward into Russia unless they pour in thousands and thousands of more troops and equipment, and even then they can’t go very far. So what’s the point? BUT if they do the logical thing and withdraw then they lost all of those men and resources for absolutely nothing except another humiliating loss. If Russia is smart (and they are) then the “Kursk Enkettlement” will be prolonged as a long as possible, with Ukraine committed to sending more men and equipment into a hopeless meatgrinder until there are no more men or resources to send. At that point Russia simply takes the survivors as prisoners of war and then proceeds to walk into the major city of Sumy unopposed. If I was trying to lose a war then I would do EXACTLY what Ukraine just did. It’s too stupid to be accidental. I think Ukraine is preparing to settle for the loss of the entire Donbass region and then sue for peace, with new national boundaries all legal and everything.
Especially grinding NATO equipment. Good to show and PR "you had send so much and it was worthless, do you really think sending more will change something?". And NATO's reality is they don't have so much fancy equipment to burn quickly by sending next few batches to Ukraine.

Unfortunally Alexander IS wrong. What the Ukrainians did and actually do is exactly what they teach you in Military Universitys (e.g. Germany) you always have to surprise your enemy and do what he won't expect. Otherwise you would lose the momentum of the war and the enemy can dictate on your next moves. So from a Military aspect the Ukraine Attack makes sense. But one Thing is irritating. Shouldn't there be around 90.000 russian Soldiers in the Sumy Region? Where are they. And why do the Ukrainians know that those are no longer ther?
Allowed to happen what exactly? An absolutely pointless loss if enemy men and equipment in huge numbers in very short period of time in exchange for some PR losses?

Conquering the Kursk NPP in order to “swap” it with the Zaporizhzhia NPP doesn’t make any sense… If they have the forces, Ukraine should try to re-occupy their own NPP…
Ukraine's breakout in Kursk is their battle of the bludge. Germany collapsed less than 6 months after their battle of the bludge in late 1944. The Ukraine advances are based on the British SAS tactics in North Africa during WWII. Strike fast, strike deep, confuse the enemy, make them think the advancing force is much larger than it is.
❤ Is it possible that US intelligence, which would have known about Russian weakness in the area suggested it as a “Hail Mary” act of desperation to try to capture the nuclear power plant?😊
That part of the border was being manned by 'loyal' Chechen troops. I'm hearing reports...I don't know if they've been confirmed...that the Chechens DID NOT COME OUT TO MEET THE UKRAINIANS. Furthermore the Ukrainians didn't feel a need to attack the Chechen positions and just drove right past them. If true, a large percentage, if not all, of the 'loyal' Chechens have been co-opted by the US.
It has been some time listening to you two. It's hard knowing lives are be lost base on political people wanting power. Still praying for the lost soul. Look forward to hearing your opinions on what going on. Someday listen to you with crying, always be praying for peace.
it does not make sense though Alexander, the Russians clearning the mines in order for their army to create an offensive, because the Ukrainians made an offensive but how did they bipass the mines ?
Guys don’t call the terrorists Chechens. Chechens are fighting for Russia now as all other nationalities. Putin once said that terrorists don’t have a nationality. Chechen forces play a great role in the conflict now ❤❤❤. Grozny is a flourishing city now when cleared of terrorists. ❤❤❤ God bless!
It is a long front to defend but Russia should have combat aircraft flying patrol all along this front, constantly. That way if a border guard is engaged they should be able to call in an airstrike within 10-15 min. Response from helicopter strike within an hour. And combat support on the ground within 6-12 hours. There is a lack of preparation on the Russian side. Protecting ships in port, protecting aircraft on airfields. Protecting borders...

Yesterday on Indian Times i saw large marches in Berlin of German people protesting against their country's involvement in Ukraine. Not on msm. But normal citizens are fed up with how much money their governments are wasting.
The germans are verry divided over this. In the east the involvment is unpopular.
But I read and hear so many idiotic german comments that I get desperate living here.
lol did you see that on RT funded media? It’s not happening, bud. Germany stands with Ukraine.
No marches in The Netherlands as well my men. We love Ukraine and are against the Russian agression. Maybe you should check for a new source ;)
The zelensky sent his best SF his best tanks and armour to Kursk. IT FAILED.
Cope harder dummies -Ukraine took have more territory than Russian near Kharkiv in their "greet summer offensive" 😂😂
Why are people claiming an offensive that's still making rapid progress as a failure? People like you were claiming it's been stopped every minute since this started and you've been completely wrong. I'm pro Russia but it's clear all western support and all good recruitment all year has gone towards this plan. Its a big mistake to consider this Ukraine the same one we have seen in the east this year
It took six months to clear Krynky, with supply having to cross a giant river and totally pinned in, with numerous assaults failing disastrously per video evidence. Thinking Russia will clear this easily I hope is correct but I would suggest this is likely to take a long, long time to clear. This much land in the east would take a vast amount of time to clear. Despite those in the east being overwhelmingly weaker than those in the North.
I'm truly stunned Alexander is ignorant enough to compare this to Ardennes. It shows he knows almost nothing about ww2 apart from the very surface level of what happened. It's completely different in numerous ways.
Alexander also showing very poor knowledge of the situation on the ground, Sudzha has been bypassed and encircled and will fall inevitably. Neutral mappers all agree on that.
Its hilarious that a true disaster and historic failure of military intelligence is spun as a good thing for Russia 😂
Ardennes failed primarily due to lack of fuel and the cloud cover clearing allowing Allied air forces to come into the sky. Obviously fuel is not in short supply here and air defence means the air force cannot provide close air support. Also the troops were poor, mostly from the east and non German. With very poor training and equipment. Those were the things that ended Ardennes and none of them apply here. The only similarity is that it is an offensive by a nation on the ropes. Pretty slim similarities just to find something to claim this will end in rapid disaster for Ukraine.
When was the last time anything like this ended in rapid disaster? Its more likely to go into a long, grinding defensive phase that's intended to last until negotiations. The larger the land held, the more likely that is.

Ukraine “attacked” directly into a literal “Russian kill zone kettle” near Kursk, and is now in the position of being the bug inside of a bug-hunter’s killing jar. So what are they supposed to do now? They can’t go any farther forward into Russia unless they pour in thousands and thousands of more troops and equipment, and even then they can’t go very far. So what’s the point? BUT if they do the logical thing and withdraw then they lost all of those men and resources for absolutely nothing except another humiliating loss.
If Russia is smart (and they are) then the “Kursk Enkettlement” will be prolonged as a long as possible, with Ukraine committed to sending more men and equipment into a hopeless meatgrinder until there are no more men or resources to send. At that point Russia simply takes the survivors as prisoners of war and then proceeds to walk into the major city of Sumy unopposed.
If I was trying to lose a war then I would do EXACTLY what Ukraine just did. It’s too stupid to be accidental. I think Ukraine is preparing to settle for the loss of the entire Donbass region and then sue for peace, with new national boundaries all legal and everything.
80 years later: same place, same result.
I must say that your reasoning seemed very logical to me. Thank you!
Who will represent Ukraine, considering they don't have a president .
The Russians won't talk to Zelenskey.
Russia won't talk to Alenskey.
Especially grinding NATO equipment. Good to show and PR "you had send so much and it was worthless, do you really think sending more will change something?". And NATO's reality is they don't have so much fancy equipment to burn quickly by sending next few batches to Ukraine.
As a Native Russian speaker I have to say it is the best analysis of the invasion , better then Russian telegram channels. Guys, you’re so, so good, professional and demonstrate profound knowledge of the events without being onsite. You’re GREAT! Thank you!

Unfortunally Alexander IS wrong. What the Ukrainians did and actually do is exactly what they teach you in Military Universitys (e.g. Germany) you always have to surprise your enemy and do what he won't expect. Otherwise you would lose the momentum of the war and the enemy can dictate on your next moves. So from a Military aspect the Ukraine Attack makes sense. But one Thing is irritating. Shouldn't there be around 90.000 russian Soldiers in the Sumy Region? Where are they. And why do the Ukrainians know that those are no longer ther?
Russia lies it seems. There maybe never were 90.000 soldiers.
Thank you Gentlemen for your much depended on, daily reports. The truth must prevail. Stay safe, God Bless

Perhaps it was allowed to.

At an attrition rate of over 2k per day, that odd Ukranian offensive didn't cost even a week's casualties. 🤔
Conquering the Kursk NPP in order to “swap” it with the Zaporizhzhia NPP doesn’t make any sense…
If they have the forces, Ukraine should try to re-occupy their own NPP…
Ukraine's breakout in Kursk is their battle of the bludge.
Germany collapsed less than 6 months after their battle of the bludge in late 1944.
The Ukraine advances are based on the British SAS tactics in North Africa during WWII. Strike fast, strike deep, confuse the enemy, make them think the advancing force is much larger than it is.

That part of the border was being manned by 'loyal' Chechen troops. I'm hearing reports...I don't know if they've been confirmed...that the Chechens DID NOT COME OUT TO MEET THE UKRAINIANS. Furthermore the Ukrainians didn't feel a need to attack the Chechen positions and just drove right past them. If true, a large percentage, if not all, of the 'loyal' Chechens have been co-opted by the US.
Thats a PR Coup most of them maybe 98% will never go home!

This battle of Kursk will not be as epic as the Battle of Kursk in 1943. I believe more tanks were involved then.

it does not make sense though Alexander, the Russians clearning the mines in order for their army to create an offensive, because the Ukrainians made an offensive but how did they bipass the mines ?
Guys don’t call the terrorists Chechens. Chechens are fighting for Russia now as all other nationalities. Putin once said that terrorists don’t have a nationality.
Chechen forces play a great role in the conflict now ❤❤❤.
Grozny is a flourishing city now when cleared of terrorists. ❤❤❤

It is a long front to defend but Russia should have combat aircraft flying patrol all along this front, constantly.
That way if a border guard is engaged they should be able to call in an airstrike within 10-15 min. Response from helicopter strike within an hour. And combat support on the ground within 6-12 hours.
There is a lack of preparation on the Russian side. Protecting ships in port, protecting aircraft on airfields. Protecting borders...
