Wewho are here on the Front Lines who have seen and do see everything are greatful that the Social Media and Mainstream Media "Eggspurts". know very little about the Kursk Operation,Most of our Team have been in this War for oover 10 years, so we have experience that VERY few have. With this Op, we will achieve the goals that have been set after 6 months of planning and everyone here is committed. Слава Богу, Слава Україні, Свобода Україні .
Ukraine is only carrying out a Special Military Operation (SMO). After carrying out a referendum in the Kursk People's Republic, Ukrainian soldiers will return to their borders. Putin should know that what goes around comes around.

Ukrainian vloggers report Ukrainian rangers leading the offense with very sophisticated tech. The 80th and 83rd mechanized were reported I believe plus support with other various elements for a total of 4 brigades reported Georgia Brigade and Free Russian Legion are reported present.
I've seen the Russians complaining about Ukraine hacking its commercial drones to operate on nonstandard frequencies and then heavily jamming the spectra normally used by commercial drones to disable Russia's commercial drones. Lancet seems to be working fine, but Russia's drone game otherwise has seemed really weak here.
It would be real nice of you to add a link to each of their channels and writing in the description and/or a pinned comment. Thank you. For me it's all about the children. Never forget all of the Russians who abused children and their families in Ukraine. From the mass graves (in Izium) to the stolen children. Now if Ukrainian parents don't become Russian citizens and go to fight against their brothers and cousins Russia will take their newborn children at birth. How many children are now sex slaves? They cannot be allowed to win. Speaking of Izium. What did those 414 people see? The Russians thought it was better to murder them and bury them all in a mass grave instead of letting them testify. Whatever they saw must have been truly horrific. At minimum I'm guessing rape and torture. With an average of 150 war crimes per day who knows what they did. If Russia wants to sign a treaty they must first prove they will stand by one. If Russia or Putin wants to negotiate, start with your original written agreement. Putin on January 28, 2003 signed the border agreement. He's signed several agreements he doesn't honor. Pull back all of their troops back behind their original border and then you can start negotiations. If they don't show they will honor the original agreement how can you expect them to honor any further agreements. It's our war to lose. Russia canNOT win. Unless we choose to not support Ukraine of course. It is on us in the global West to pick the world we want to live in. Choose wisely. Thanks. Glory to Ukraine. God Bless Ukraine and her people. 🇺🇦🇺🇸
I have some idea about the war crimes because the soldiers bragged about them online. One of the crimes was against infants at the beginning of the war and let´s just say it´s one of the reasons I´m relieved Ukraine is able to fight back. Later, a tough guy who writes reports about Ukraine in my country said he accidentally started playing a video of a Ru**ian war crime, he nearly threw up and couldn´t sleep properly for three months. Just from several seconds of a video. There´s no way I´m traumatizing other people with it. It was October 7th in Israel level.
As Luke Coffey correctly noticed, Ukraine advances into a historically and ethnically Ukrainian region called Slobodskaja Ukraina. And there is no single inch of Russia anywhere in Muscovy.
Never would have happened unless Russia would have invaded them. Since Medvedev talks about taking other territories then Ukraine should do the same. If Putin talks about using nukes then Ukraine should be provided with the same in order to deter from any nukes being used. This never would have happened if Ukraine didn't give up it's nukes.
This area is better than further north on the boarder where defenses is weaker. It cuts off the railways, E38 road, and E105 road. The mining and industry in the area is a relatively big part of the total russian in some areas. That’s also why the nuclear powerplant is interesting as it supplies that production. Besides that it might be possible to threaten the russian forces in Kharkiv with these risk of getting out flanked. This forces russia do spend huge resources on protecting key areas and trying to kick Ukraine out. This is a perfect opportunity for Ukraine to use their Western vehicles and trained soldiers, that are many levels above the russians best when it comes to maneuver warfare. They can’t really get the full benefit from this inside Ukraine as there are defenses and minefields all over the place, that makes movement slow and dangerous.
Good to see at least one channel with competent analysis on RUclips. 👍 They are overthinking it a bit, though. It would be great to have an actual military strategy expert comment on their analyses.
ew. to them?? im not even russian but i live in kursk . WE ARE HAPPY AND SAFE. F THE WAR LEAVE BOTH COUNTRIES ALONE! and americans should shut the F up . why they always being so nosy about other’s problems
Why was this so surprising to people? Russia bluffed an attack on Kharkiv, forcing Ukraine to move a lot of troops there. So Ukraine had a considerable force in the area that was not really needed for defense anymore. They could move the troops to Donbas and wait for Russia’s next move or they could use the force to try to take the initiative.
The 'Europeans are uncomfortable, and never wanted Ukraine to win' is pure projection. It perfectly describes the European view of Washington's attitude and behaviour. Yes, there was some hesitation in Germany and France early on, based on a misreading Russia's rationality, but that evaporated quickly.
I agree that this motivation is pure speculation on Luke's part. However, the counterpoint would be that Germany, for example, certainly hasn't been doing as much as it could to assist Ukraine and their reasoning hasn't been clarified. Donation of Taurus missiles are just one example: Ukraine already has obtained similar deep strike capabilities in the form of SCALP/Stormshadow so there are really no new broken prohibitions or risk of escalation at play. So in truth, what is Olaf's thought process behind this decision? It could be that he doesn't want Ukraine to win, it could be that he fears an embittered Russia, or perhaps it's something else altogether.
@@strrgaze victory has many fathers but defeat is an orphan, perfectly describes US attitude. They can't even begin to acknowledge their role in assisting Russian advances in Ukraine. Having idiots in power costs lives.
@@Nainara32 The Taurus are a thousand-times repeated exception to a rule. Germany has given Ukraine the most equipment and money of all European countries. And it´s doing its duty on NATO´s Eastern flank (Lithuania) the best of all countries tasked with helping there. It´s conspicuous how the Taurus missiles stand out among otherwise generously given German weapons. So it probably has something to do with the manufacturer of Taurus - they fear reverse engineering by Ru**ia or something.
Yes, the US are Ukraines most important supporter, but there are seldom a week Im not frustrated about their stupid and weak way of handling russia and the support for Ukraine.
Ukraine also had amassed 3k wheeled vehicles that were of limited use on the eastern front and much better suited for a thunder run on the paved roads of Kursk oblast.
The Problem with the "better used for defense" argument is that this would leave the initiative (where and when) to attack solely to Russia. For Ukraine offense is the best defense, because it forces the Russians comit forces to the defense.

Russian economy is maxed out for resources and manpower. Inflation is climbing. Sanctions are working but slowly. It’s just a matter of time before they exhaust themselves.
First target was the natural gas metering station for the only natural gas line left to supply Europe was achieved as was taking of the Gazprom building both in the Town of Sodzha. Second was I think the military term is a *"bridgehead"* out from the Oblast Sumy in Ukraine into the Oblast Kursk in Russia. You would need a Map to properly explain this to viewers also tremendous number of RUclips Resource to point out others pointing this out and some of whom are in the Region some pro Russian even.
As Luke Coffey correctly noticed, Ukrainian forces advance into a historically and ethnically Ukrainian region called Slobodskaja Ukraina, the easternmost area of Ukrainian colonization. Sudža, Olgovъ, Kureskъ, Ryleskъ and more are early medieval Ukrainian towns that belonged to Severia or Ukraina Sěvesrkaja and were occupied by Muscovy since 1521. On 1918 they returned to Ukraine and then had been occupied by Muscovy again.
It’s wild I was using google maps the other day to see where some vids weee taking place and trailing around the road randomly came across Ghetman Mazepa’s residence (that’s now in ruins but only bc was neglected).. all the locals posting videos from there about evacuations have a craaazy Ukrainian accent and a lot just Surzik and throwing in Ukrainian words when they’re not paying attention/stressed lol we’re talking like 90% of them.. it’s funny how they barely Russified any of the village and little city names.. just straight Ukrainian root words or full words or last names lol .. and then I found out that Sudza for example was a name of some regiment .. it’s just funny bc Sumy, tends to be a little more mixed w Russian(s) so they even look a little more blonde side and Russian facial features and tend to speak Russian there more.. (comparing to Kharkiv let’s say ) but at the same time I know USSR moved in a lot of ethically Russian military families there sometime in history.. but being form Kharkiv I just assumed it gets even more Russian Russian as you leave sumy and go anywhere north or into Russia from there .. just really really left field and unexpected for someone that never been to that region and I guess haven’t met enough people from there
Ioannъ Mazepa (1639-1709), duke of Ukraine, owned huge properties on the Muscovite occupied territory, beyond the political border of Ukraine that existed until 1754. He settled his estates with Ukrainians and prohibited marriages in between them and Muscovites. This rule existed then as a tradition, and that is how Ukrainian language survived in there against all odds.
There is no use or benefit for the soldiers attacking into Kursk to be reinforcing the east in Ukraine. In the east the glide bombs are the problem. Concentrating forces in that area only means more deaths. Until such time that Ukraine can defend against the glide bombs the strategy in the east will be to attrit and retreat. But concentrate forces there? No.
Agree there are quite a lot of western so called experts calling this a folly not accepting Ukraine is in a different situation with no air superiority and the non stop problems of those glide bombs that work so well against a rigid defence
How to show you are a coastal elite without saying you are a coastal elite, compare the size of something to manhattan island. The San Fernando Valley suburb area of Los Angeles is 11 times the size of manhattan island. Now compare it to anything in one of the flyover states.
Food for thought… it’s about 600 km to Moscow.. there are no credible Russian forces between the Ukrainian army and Moscow. The entire Russian army is tied up and bogged down in Ukraine. All logistics for the so-called Russian SMO are focused on supplying and supporting the Russian army in Ukraine. There are only untrained conscripts, Chechens TikTok warriors and some FSB formations present in Russia. It would be incredibly audacious, breathtaking risky, incredibly bowl but if the Ukrainian army moved rapidly towards Moscow even Putin would be forced to sue for peace.ukraine has conducted a major offensive in august before.
Some units can be pulled from the front, there are private armies in Ru**ia (like, Gazprom has its own private army) and Moscow is a massive city. I don´t think it´s doable. The last time Moscow was conquered was some 400 years ago by Poland-Lithuania, when it was a thousand times smaller and poorer.
@@martavdz4972 Just talking here, as a random guy on the internet passing the time. Nothing I say here should be taken all that seriously. Yeah, taking Moscow is ridiculous. The logistics would be nightmarish, and even if by some miracle Ukraine was to take the city KEEPING it would be insanely costly. But *Threathening* Moscow? Much, MUCH more doable. A PMC like Wagner could do that. Forcing the city's elites to flee for a second time in two years would be intolerable to the Russian psyche, and would make Putin look incredibly weak. Most likely not what UA is planning, but I'm pretty certain the though looms large in the minds of Russia's high command. Again: just an internet rando here. Ranked bellow armchair general. Just juggling some ideas.
OBLAST, not oblask. This guy is no SME if he can't properly pronounce as many words as he screws up. Why is he on this program if he is this bad at what he does?
Yes, the west has allowed Ukraine to survive but not win. They have to change this policy. Ukraine has to win this war. I agree, Ukraine can hold this territory to negotiate with Moscow.
I don´t think the Baltics want to. They´re not attacking nations. They´re happy being finally left alone (only the second time in history for two of them), helping Ukraine and strengthening their defences.
@@sebastianforbes1russia is weak, 1/10th if the active European militaries could beat russia. Almost only conscripts are defending russia, their trainers are in Ukraine so that have got no education in how to fight, and they are lucky if they can get 1950’s weapons and vehicles. It would never happen though, as russia in that case would be likely to actually use tactical nukes as they would be threatened on their existence and they had no other options.
@@mwtrolle Don´t reply to Sebastian Forbes, he´s a troll or a bot who blesses other similar videos with his presence, making useless provocative comments.
Might be to late too ask this. ? Why have ukraine fought for ,apart of russia , like its part of Russia even Russia doesn't want it,looks like nomad part of Russia
Also i dont understand why people are worried about UA losing territory? LIke this is such a massive gamble y? The areas they are likely to lose are the same bits that they would have to negotiate away anyways. If Trump comes in and betrays them they are gone anyways. Honestly Harris will eventually want negotiations just on better terms so they are screwed there as well. Russia could ask for more but they will do that anyways. Atleast now theycantake the fight to Russia and force RUssia to not dump everything into UA. Sure they may not have to lose forces in Donbas but now they are gonna have to place troops all across the front. RU pinned a lot of UA forces on the border with belarus. Now why wouldnt those foces attack? RU doesnt know they wont. UA changing the game puts a lot more pressure on RU than it does UA. If they play it safe and west continues doing little they lose so good on them for taking a calculated risk
I think the Ukraine army is going to try and move west along the river to Ryl,sk the topography and shorter front makes the most sense. Ukraine can make Russia pay in Russia and show Russians they are not immune from this war.
At a very basic commons sense level one finds it difficult to understand why the restrictions have not been taken off. Does the West actually want Ukraine to have any chance of winning, or do they want them to bleed out bit by bit and give up what they have achieved to date. Russia, or more to the point putin should not have a say in western politics, it appears he very much is at present, open threats inducing self imposed red lines. A pretty week and pathetic response as I see it.
The European Union immediately gave green light. The U.S. and Germany have allowed weapons they donated to be used at least some distance from the Ru**ian border. So I don´t know why you´re making it about the whole West. Plus, some countries have not lifted their restrictions because they have never imposed any (Denmark, Finland, Czechia, the Baltics and others).
may want to tell Johnathan ... just published from new type drone ... NATO war ships ..targeted .. [ also war ships[ USA target 1 ] off Israel coast ] .... we chatted about this to death 1 of 4
Understandable move from Ukraine - A Great motivational and PR stunt . The bear will be poked and might wake up really grumpy but that’s ok…… Just hoping this all leads to the civilians in both countries demanding for ceasefire and peace negotiations .
Napoleon tried to take Moose-Cow... Hitler wanted Moss-Kow... Ukraine gets to give a Try??? March to Moscow Although Yevgeny Prigozhin came close??? Rest in Pieces
Ukraine knows it cannot take Moscow but Moscow knows it made a big mistake trying to take Kyiv. Stalin tried to starve Ukraine to death but Ukraine lives.
Lol. This is not invasion but response. I don't think Ukrainians want to capture Moscow. Capturing good amount of territory is more than enough to politically embarrass Putin. That is the goal here.
Looks like an act of desperation to me. These troops are much more needed in the Donbas where the Ukrainians are under severe pressure. Let's hope that front doesn't collapse because of this gamble.
Not at all, why attack where enemy is strongest and slug it out against a more numerical opponent. Instead sow chaos in rear areas, cut supply lines, keep the enemy guessing, keep them moving from a to b to c, create dilemmas, increase negotiating position just to name a few. Read the indirect approach, Basil Liddel Hart
@@hihosilveraway59 If it works. So far, most losses to the Russians were inflicted in the Donbas, at about a 1:4 casualty ratio, or more. Defending is always less costly than attacking.
This must have been planned several months, doesn´t seem entirely like an act of desperation to me. Although it´s close to it. It´s quite efficient for an act of desperation, though. Two or three columns destroyed already, including some Wagner warriors. There´ve been rumours some Wagner troops might be called from Africa. That would help some African countries significantly and might even change some political landscapes there.

@@martavdz4972 Just talking here, as a random guy on the internet passing the time. Nothing I say here should be taken all that seriously.
Yeah, taking Moscow is ridiculous. The logistics would be nightmarish, and even if by some miracle Ukraine was to take the city KEEPING it would be insanely costly.
But *Threathening* Moscow? Much, MUCH more doable. A PMC like Wagner could do that. Forcing the city's elites to flee for a second time in two years would be intolerable to the Russian psyche, and would make Putin look incredibly weak.
Most likely not what UA is planning, but I'm pretty certain the though looms large in the minds of Russia's high command.
Again: just an internet rando here. Ranked bellow armchair general. Just juggling some ideas.
I'm still waiting for the Russian army to realise it would have an easier time if it went back the other way, as predicted by Nevzorov.
OBLAST, not oblask. This guy is no SME if he can't properly pronounce as many words as he screws up. Why is he on this program if he is this bad at what he does?
Did you understand what he said if so suck it up
Not gonna lie that was really annoying me too 😅
16:18 popping popcorn in Denmark.
I don’t consider us Eastern Europe
Battle of the Bulge 2.0 the result would be the same. Stupid is what stupid does.
Pootin should apply to NATO for protection from Ukraine.
For me, it significantly diminishes the credibility of an expert, who does not know that the correct word is oblasT, not oblasK
Yes, the west has allowed Ukraine to survive but not win. They have to change this policy. Ukraine has to win this war. I agree, Ukraine can hold this territory to negotiate with Moscow.
Give Finland, the Baltics, and Poland a free hand to go east!
I don´t think the Baltics want to. They´re not attacking nations. They´re happy being finally left alone (only the second time in history for two of them), helping Ukraine and strengthening their defences.
@@sebastianforbes1russia is weak, 1/10th if the active European militaries could beat russia.
Almost only conscripts are defending russia, their trainers are in Ukraine so that have got no education in how to fight, and they are lucky if they can get 1950’s weapons and vehicles.
It would never happen though, as russia in that case would be likely to actually use tactical nukes as they would be threatened on their existence and they had no other options.
@@mwtrolle Don´t reply to Sebastian Forbes, he´s a troll or a bot who blesses other similar videos with his presence, making useless provocative comments.
Might be to late too ask this. ? Why have ukraine fought for ,apart of russia , like its part of Russia even Russia doesn't want it,looks like nomad part of Russia
That Donald Trump! What a riot. Hey, it's Kamala! Ha ha!..whoa! Vance & who's that new guy?!.....
Also i dont understand why people are worried about UA losing territory? LIke this is such a massive gamble y? The areas they are likely to lose are the same bits that they would have to negotiate away anyways. If Trump comes in and betrays them they are gone anyways. Honestly Harris will eventually want negotiations just on better terms so they are screwed there as well. Russia could ask for more but they will do that anyways. Atleast now theycantake the fight to Russia and force RUssia to not dump everything into UA. Sure they may not have to lose forces in Donbas but now they are gonna have to place troops all across the front. RU pinned a lot of UA forces on the border with belarus. Now why wouldnt those foces attack? RU doesnt know they wont. UA changing the game puts a lot more pressure on RU than it does UA. If they play it safe and west continues doing little they lose so good on them for taking a calculated risk
I think the Ukraine army is going to try and move west along the river to Ryl,sk the topography and shorter front makes the most sense. Ukraine can make Russia pay in Russia and show Russians they are not immune from this war.
oblasT
At a very basic commons sense level one finds it difficult to understand why the restrictions have not been taken off.
Does the West actually want Ukraine to have any chance of winning, or do they want them to bleed out bit by bit and give up what they have achieved to date.
Russia, or more to the point putin should not have a say in western politics, it appears he very much is at present, open threats inducing self imposed red lines.
A pretty week and pathetic response as I see it.
The European Union immediately gave green light. The U.S. and Germany have allowed weapons they donated to be used at least some distance from the Ru**ian border. So I don´t know why you´re making it about the whole West. Plus, some countries have not lifted their restrictions because they have never imposed any (Denmark, Finland, Czechia, the Baltics and others).
Speed tactics😂😂
may want to tell Johnathan ... just published from new type drone ... NATO war ships ..targeted .. [ also war ships[ USA target 1 ] off Israel coast ] .... we chatted about this to death 1 of 4
russia shpuld concede lands forpeace？
a lot blabla
Understandable move from Ukraine - A Great motivational and PR stunt . The bear will be poked and might wake up really grumpy but that’s ok…… Just hoping this all leads to the civilians in both countries demanding for ceasefire and peace negotiations .
They´re already cutting off infrastructure, hardly just a PR stunt.
Historical cultural identity? The history of Ukraine began in 1917 ))))
Napoleon tried to take Moose-Cow... Hitler wanted Moss-Kow... Ukraine gets to give a Try??? March to Moscow
Although Yevgeny Prigozhin came close??? Rest in Pieces
Ukraine knows it cannot take Moscow but Moscow knows it made a big mistake trying to take Kyiv. Stalin tried to starve Ukraine to death but Ukraine lives.
Lol. This is not invasion but response. I don't think Ukrainians want to capture Moscow. Capturing good amount of territory is more than enough to politically embarrass Putin. That is the goal here.
They arent trying to take over all russia 😂🤣
@@JSrg8ix Ignore the bot mate
Impressive that you tried to spin Prigozhin’s march on Moscow as a win for Russia.
BIBLE BELIEVERS ESCAPE TO HEAVEN IN THE RAPTURE
HOPE IT IS THIS YEAR!!!!
Looks like an act of desperation to me. These troops are much more needed in the Donbas where the Ukrainians are under severe pressure. Let's hope that front doesn't collapse because of this gamble.
@@KevinWarburton-tv2iy Let's hope so. We'll see.
Not at all, why attack where enemy is strongest and slug it out against a more numerical opponent. Instead sow chaos in rear areas, cut supply lines, keep the enemy guessing, keep them moving from a to b to c, create dilemmas, increase negotiating position just to name a few. Read the indirect approach, Basil Liddel Hart
@@hihosilveraway59 If it works. So far, most losses to the Russians were inflicted in the Donbas, at about a 1:4 casualty ratio, or more. Defending is always less costly than attacking.
This must have been planned several months, doesn´t seem entirely like an act of desperation to me. Although it´s close to it. It´s quite efficient for an act of desperation, though. Two or three columns destroyed already, including some Wagner warriors. There´ve been rumours some Wagner troops might be called from Africa. That would help some African countries significantly and might even change some political landscapes there.
..btw ...sooooo you boy's think you know about war ...hummmmmmmmm
