1. I’m hoping they can occupy enough to use as leverage for negotiating russia leaving some occupied land.

   Inb4 people say no negotiating, or ALL land. I’m a realist, not a blind optimist.

   Edit: I’m not advocating ukraine giving up its land here. I think it’s possible a deal can be made without a peace deal/ceasefire that cedes land

2. Which means it’s probably more.

   I’m really excited to see where this is going!

3. Nice to see the freedom of the citizens and forming of the Kursk People’s Republic.

4. What is the strategic importance of this area for Russia? Can’t really seem to find a confirmation.. Refineries, logistic hub?

5. What’s stopping Russia from just carpet bombing?

6. Damn i hope this is true and i hope they will be able to hold it. if they capture sudzha, that’s huge. Maybe they will capture Koranevo as well. God bless ukraine!

10. They’re clutching their pearls that they were invaded in their unguarded region. Sucks when you get invaded back.

11. After the initial push and fall back. How long has it taken Russia to take the same area?

12. This is a good 3 days operation war.

13. I’m feeling nostalgia.. That fucking bastard Prigozhin could have marched into the Moscow, what a dumbass.

14. This is so great lol. Keep it up, UA!

15. Ukraine is protecting the Ukrainian speaking population and denazifying the region

16. Fighting Russia on Russian soil is much better. Slava Ukraine.

17. Ukraine is trying to make ukraine great again. Slava ukraini!!!

18. Can they strech to south and cut Russian lines?
