The danger for Ukraine was an over-expansion of the front due to Russian invasions in the north (such as in Kharkiv). The Ukrainians have now taken that away from the Russians by invading almost unmanned territory, getting lost there, and losing material and personnel that they urgently needed to defend the rest of the front. If it wasn't Russian strategy, they couldn't have come up with a better idea. In the first few days, every strategist was surprised.

At the moment it looks like Ukraine's gamble has failed. This may change if they block off access to the Glushkovsky district from the west of their incursion, but for now it seems Russia is taking full advantage of their withdrawal from the eastern front.
We do not know the NATO objectives in the north but we do know that neither side has committed all the resources available (weeb suggesting that RF are spread thin). Perhaps this is not not a raid, a limited incursion but something more important that the spent time in planning, Moreover, I believe that the RF pace in Pokrovsk would have been as fast, one way or another.
@@apostolosderakis9840 unless Ukraine takes significant assets (like the NPP, for example) or territory it can entrench and hold then it's difficult to see how Kursk ends differently from Summer 2023, with a failed offensive capturing limited territory which Russia then push them out of over the following year.

>>>their move usually make no sense in a military stand point... Both parties are acting rationally, in terms of the resources they have and their ultimate objectives.

I have seen many different and contradictory reports from the Kursk region. Some says 30% of Ukrainian soldiers have already died and the have lost more than half of their hardware.
Thank you weeb for impartial reporting. On comparison guardian this morning: rusia starting attacks on niu York in first attempts to gain teritory this year. Also guardian: see photos from ukraf in occupied city of kursk Sky: ukraf wiped out 50% of entire rusian armed forces in their kursk offensive. Not even sure which propaganda outlet was this one: Russian forces retreating everywhere along the front.
What is the actual number of Russian troops on the northern border with Ukraine? There are conflicting numbers, MacGregor was saying 300 thousands north of Ukraine, and 50 thousands in Belarus. But you are saying 50 thousands in the whole northern border of Ukraine.
While history doesn't repeat, it certainly does rhyme. I look at the map for Kursk and I can't help but think of the battle of Poltava in 1709 where the Russians defeated the Swedes. That resulted in the end of the Swedish empire and established the Russian supremacy. When the Ukies fail in Kursk, troops from Bryansk, Kursk and Belgorod could converge on Poltava. Poltava is a major hub and of great historical significance to the Russians. It might even result in the end of Ukraine and Nato(empire?).... All speculation but it feels like something the Russians would consider.
Any settlement with more than 10,000 people in Ukraine is considered a city, how about you spend 2 seconds to google something before you make yourself look stupid...?
meanwhile ukraine bragging about taking Sudhkza, a town of like 6000 people LoLolOL, its literally the biggest town ukraine has re-take in the past 2 years of this war, no joke.
the Ukrainians can only advance in small penny packets of units because massing a large force is too dangerous for them. This means that assembling 100,000 soldiers, while it seems impressive on paper, isn't what it seems because the reinforcements will only drip into the combat in very small quantities that the Russian artillery and special forces in the security zone can handle, same as happened at Rabotino and Staromayorske. Spetsnaz and airborne units did everything there, while hundreds of thousands of bored conscripts waiting in the "Surovikin line" never even saw a Ukrainian soldier
Крупнейшей в Украине сетью «АТБ» владеют бизнесмены из Днепра - Геннадий Буткевич, Евгений Ермаков и Виктор Карачун (10 % акций принадлежит Аuchan).

Having high ground means scouts can be camouflaged in the hills, overlooking roads and passing information down the line of command. NATO tried to move in on foot into Serbia, through Albania but with initial cassaulties calculations (due to domestic terrain being mountains and hills) was 2:1 in favor of Serbia. Later on, when Serbia pulled it's army out of Kosovo, NATO reevaluated losses would be 4:1. In fact, NATO's Serbia campaign barely scratched Serbian army. You can look this up yourself. On the other side, if Hungary allowed NATO to move into Serbia through Vojvodina, NATO army would absolutely demolish Serbian army - due to Vojvodina being flat as my ex's chest.
"Worst is yet to come"... We'vd heard that or the past 2 years from you 😅 At this speed it will take years and yeas for the colonisation of Ukraine to be compleeted...
The Russians don't need to hurry up. They 're inflicting attrition. As a result, they 've ended up just casually walking through fortified positions. They advance as far as they deem it safe enough each time.
Doesn't look like a stalemate to me. What's lost in Donbas every day, Ukraine will not get back, and although the Kursk offensive most likely will see some more temporary advances here and there, Ukraine's armour, troops and means of supply are steadily degraded because of Russia's air superiority, which eventually will make this offensive unsustainable, after which Russia might then even turn the table to establish a buffer zone in Ukraine against further such attacks from Ukraine/NATO.

So you think Ukraine can launch an offensive without air cover and succeed? Stop trying to make this incursion a bigger thing than it is.
Source?
Ukraine has air cover. WU told in one of his previous videos AFU is using electronic warfare for that at the Kursk front
They're pretty successful so far.
And can't resupply its troops? They are cut off and can't go forward. If they aren't careful, Russia will cut over their route for retreat . The latter is what will happen. Ukraine has lost most of its armor and lots of manpower.A lost cause from the moment seizure of the nuclear power plant was missed.
Ahem - they are succeeding.
At the moment it looks like Ukraine's gamble has failed. This may change if they block off access to the Glushkovsky district from the west of their incursion, but for now it seems Russia is taking full advantage of their withdrawal from the eastern front.
We do not know the NATO objectives in the north but we do know that neither side has committed all the resources available (weeb suggesting that RF are spread thin). Perhaps this is not not a raid, a limited incursion but something more important that the spent time in planning, Moreover, I believe that the RF pace in Pokrovsk would have been as fast, one way or another.
@@apostolosderakis9840 unless Ukraine takes significant assets (like the NPP, for example) or territory it can entrench and hold then it's difficult to see how Kursk ends differently from Summer 2023, with a failed offensive capturing limited territory which Russia then push them out of over the following year.
As for the east, I think Ukraine could've slowed Russia down but not stopped them, which is why they're undertaking this offensive. They literally don't have any other options left.
@@HerrSpoons your comments always make sense, a lot of this war does not. It only makes sense if we realize that they are not fighting as a military manual would suggest and that there are solid good reasons for that. As an example: selfies make no sense, right? They add not value to the conflict, right? You do not see them in a regular military manual, right? They only make sense to the extent they drive up foreign aid, or if they confuse the opponent creating a fog, if they have an indirect impact on the field through the political arena (psyops and all that jazz)

No, the BEST is yet to come. Onward to total victory Russia!
Good work! Keep it up;) Thank you.
toretsk would be quite fast, the major challenge is the center citadel area, with the residential high rise and a major coal mine complex nearby. but given the fact that ukraine lack manpower and resources to counter attack, the russians might do what they did in new york to that mini industrial zone, they will just by pass it and effectively encircle them.
ukraine military is seriously melting (as expected), anyone remember Stepove? remember Berdychi? both sides would struggle for weeks in these small towns, now the Russians just walk right through.
but of course there is a chance that, some or a lot of reserves are held in ukraine, and they might go for another "offensive" elsewhere, since their move usually make no sense in a military stand point.
>>>their move usually make no sense in a military stand point... Both parties are acting rationally, in terms of the resources they have and their ultimate objectives. Was RF rational to break the record for the largest military convoy ever and have it static (sitting ducks) when they were encircling Kiev with no intention of capturing it? In a way, yes. The other side was quick to paint them as idiots.

Members of The Ukrainian Military, inside all partly controlled Oblasts,

Great report Weeb, thanks mate
I have seen many different and contradictory reports from the Kursk region. Some says 30% of Ukrainian soldiers have already died and the have lost more than half of their hardware.
We're witnessing the Ukrainian Army becoming "Crash outs"
Thank you weeb for impartial reporting.
On comparison guardian this morning: rusia starting attacks on niu York in first attempts to gain teritory this year.
Also guardian: see photos from ukraf in occupied city of kursk
Sky: ukraf wiped out 50% of entire rusian armed forces in their kursk offensive.
Not even sure which propaganda outlet was this one: Russian forces retreating everywhere along the front.
Great analysis
GGWP for Torezk
What is the actual number of Russian troops on the northern border with Ukraine? There are conflicting numbers, MacGregor was saying 300 thousands north of Ukraine, and 50 thousands in Belarus. But you are saying 50 thousands in the whole northern border of Ukraine.
Does ukraine understand that if pokrovsk falls its basically end game
Pokrovsk was never strategically important anyway
Keep up the good work.
Please consider giving time stamps for different area updates. I for example want to start with kursk updates.
100 000 UFO troops in the Kurks front is a fairy tale . 😂
We should call Nato army and not UKR army..........
You misspelled 2 letters at the end
Dont wake the bears.
BREAKING: Putin just decided on the future of the Ukraine. The Kursk incursion solidified Moscow's decision. Let's see what will happen.
While history doesn't repeat, it certainly does rhyme. I look at the map for Kursk and I can't help but think of the battle of Poltava in 1709 where the Russians defeated the Swedes. That resulted in the end of the Swedish empire and established the Russian supremacy. When the Ukies fail in Kursk, troops from Bryansk, Kursk and Belgorod could converge on Poltava. Poltava is a major hub and of great historical significance to the Russians. It might even result in the end of Ukraine and Nato(empire?).... All speculation but it feels like something the Russians would consider.
Meaning That!!!!!
GoodNews but to much citing of Urin (ukr) sources
I think I heard Elensky's say the 15k was supported by another 20k for Rotations & such...
(And now there's much more)
Elensky regime also claims 31k losses. Nothing they say can be trusted.

the Ukrainians can only advance in small penny packets of units because massing a large force is too dangerous for them. This means that assembling 100,000 soldiers, while it seems impressive on paper, isn't what it seems because the reinforcements will only drip into the combat in very small quantities that the Russian artillery and special forces in the security zone can handle, same as happened at Rabotino and Staromayorske. Spetsnaz and airborne units did everything there, while hundreds of thousands of bored conscripts waiting in the "Surovikin line" never even saw a Ukrainian soldier

Крупнейшей в Украине сетью «АТБ» владеют бизнесмены из Днепра - Геннадий Буткевич, Евгений Ермаков и Виктор Карачун (10 % акций принадлежит Аuchan). Богатым владельцам АО «Тандер» («Магнит») и X5 Retail Group («Пятерочка» и «Перекресток») будет проще выкупить эти здания у АТБ, чтобы избежать международных судебных исков. Кстати, украинская прокуратура в феврале 2016 года открывала уголовное производство против Буткевича за «торговлю на окккупированной территории».

Having The high ground doesn't really matter anymore if you haven't noticed...
The kids have put away their smartphones and they're flying drones
Having high ground means scouts can be camouflaged in the hills, overlooking roads and passing information down the line of command. NATO tried to move in on foot into Serbia, through Albania but with initial cassaulties calculations (due to domestic terrain being mountains and hills) was 2:1 in favor of Serbia. Later on, when Serbia pulled it's army out of Kosovo, NATO reevaluated losses would be 4:1. In fact, NATO's Serbia campaign barely scratched Serbian army. You can look this up yourself.
On the other side, if Hungary allowed NATO to move into Serbia through Vojvodina, NATO army would absolutely demolish Serbian army - due to Vojvodina being flat as my ex's chest.

I hate to say it but Ukraine has really pulled it out of bag, first time in over year war is back at stalemate 😮
I hate to say it but nothing has changed for Ukraine. Still losing
Doesn't look like a stalemate to me. What's lost in Donbas every day, Ukraine will not get back, and although the Kursk offensive most likely will see some more temporary advances here and there, Ukraine's armour, troops and means of supply are steadily degraded because of Russia's air superiority, which eventually will make this offensive unsustainable, after which Russia might then even turn the table to establish a buffer zone in Ukraine against further such attacks from Ukraine/NATO.
