  • Max and Maria sat down with Sam Bendett and Mick Ryan to discuss the Ukrainian military's recent seizure of territory in Kursk Oblast, inside Russia. They discussed how this attack took place, the risks and potential gains at stake for the Ukrainian side, and what this could all mean for the war going forward.
    Check out Mick's latest book, "The War for Ukraine: Strategy and Adaptation Under Fire (www.usni.org/p...) ." All royalties from the book will be donated to support the Ukrainian war effort.

    The land that Ukrainian troops took in Kursk is of little strategic value. But Ukraine had to redirect most of their elite soldiers and latest equipment from The Donbas. This facilitates Russian advances to strategic hotspots like Proporsk and Toretsk. Russia did not take the bait and hardly redirected troops from the East and South of Ukraine. It must only solving the Kursk issue, until negotiations start, which they can postpone by just keep fighting. Ukraine will be in worse spot to negotiate pushed out of the Kursk incursion.

    You geniuses missed the entire financial picture and outlook fir Russia to continue its campaign. They are in a war time economy mfg arms, funded by oil. Many other real reporters cited drop in Ruble value, inflation, China unwilling to violate intl banking rules for fear they too might be sanctioned. These financial pressures will precipitate a rapid decline in earnings and lifestyle. War can not flourish without boatloads of cash. This means, added to Ukrainian army pressures in Kursk, the Russian economy is failing. Other posts posture Ukraine could sue fir peace and when Russia collapses trade it back. The message I'm dropping here is to caveat your lack of military evidence with your lack of financial. Because it is the silent killer.😮

    Good conversation, but Marias questions were pathetically optimistic, every question sounded like "please tell us Russia will not win"

    Unless there is major collapse of Russian forces in the Kursk area and get contagious somehow, a stalemate at the Kursk front means that the war has just been added another front to the fronts that the Ukraine is already having a tough time defending here and there. Doesn’t bodes well for the Ukraines.

      Well the only change would be the defense lines will be in Russia. The tength of the front stays the same.

    Anyone who has studied World War II understands what Ukraine is doing right right now? About to be in its third year, with many troops receiving standard training and advance training in combined arms warfare in other countries? With F-16 arriving, Along with long waited, supplies of munitions? It would make no sense to take these troops with their training and use them in the south? It would make much more sense to blend them with troops that have been rotated out and have combat experience? Using them for what they were intended for Kursk? Now these newly minted highly trained troops may be deployed use somewhere else? They will not need Nearly so many to hold the line in Kursk? Putin’s inaction is as much out of fear of what Ukrainians will do next? As it is having trouble finding willing soldiers with the ability to fight? I believe the defensive line they’re building further back is one to force their soldiers forward from not to defend from the Ukrainians? Although they may find themselves defending that very line with a few remaining willing troops they have? Ukraine has won this war! Unfortunately, they have to convince the Russians? A lot more people mostly Russians will have to die. All because one old man can’t take his polonium tea?

    I would have loved to hear about the ongoing war and the reasons behind the war from Russia's point of view.
    Sadly we live in a world of echo-chambers. So much for freedom of speech and free press.

      Dr. William Spaniel has done a piece on the causes that may be more to your liking, which can be found here: ruclips.net/video/pBwT-5z9R5A/видео.html (Note that the video is slightly more than 2yrs old. We can cross “water for Crimean agriculture” off Russia’s list of goals, because the infrastructure to supply it depended on the Kakhovka dam continuing to exist.)
      The podcast Ukraine: The Latest incorporates information from Russian bloggers, because that source has no chance of undermining Ukrainian operational security.
      It’s also worth a note that the “Russia just wants to secure its southwestern border” line from its apologists early in the war is actually in keeping with the past three centuries of Russian foreign policy. The Don river is Russia’s equivalent to the Mississippi, and the internationally recognized Ukrainian border is about an hour’s drive from the port city, Rostov-on-Don. (The military supply lines towards the Caucasus mountains also run through Rostov. So if that area is disrupted, the edge of Russia that lies between the Black Sea and the Caspian Sea is at risk.) It’s reasonable that they’d want that chunk of Ukrainian land, even if I find their methods unacceptable.

      Why would the CSIS need to give you Russia's point of view? You came to an American Strategic Policy Think Tank, and are mad they aren't giving Russia's view? There are plenty of other propaganda outlets and think tanks that will give you Russia's view. Its like going to an Anthropology lecture and being mad they aren't talking about Economics. No shit. You choose to be in an echo chamber, that has nothing to do with freedom of speech and free press.
      You think free speech and free press means they have to give you every view and opinion? They aren't a news outlet retard. You have at least 2 brain cells, im sure you can find Russia's point of view elsewhere. God you people are unfathomably stupid
