My hot take on the entire situation: have you ever wondered why this year – other than in the last year – nobody was talking about a counteroffensive? Why no official channel is talking about what is happening here? Why there is strict opsec and all the information flow is coming from russian channels? Even deepstate does not comment on this.
Because this is it, this is the summer counteroffensive nobody talked or talks about. russia wants to negotiate, let’s give them something to negotiate about.
Is this for real? It is incredibly if it is. Very professionally done. Go Ukraine.
The city of kursk and the power plant are now really so close to the front. If they keep this speed in they can already see the power plant in the horizon of the end of the day. Russia brought some reinforcement to kursk. At the moment I am sure ukraine has not enough troops to take the city. But the counteroffensive was also a big surprise for me.
I am happy not knowing stuff as hopefully Russia does not know, but damn i want to hear the news that they have taken the power plant and Kursk city. From this map, it looks like they are still moving fast after a good night’s sleep.
Impressive if true, but wont theese thin columns be at huge risk to get encircled rather easily?
Hoo boy
“Gerasimov and top officials seemingly dismissed intelligence warnings that Ukrainian soldiers were gathering near the border with Russia’s western Kursk region as much as two weeks before they began the assault, and nobody briefed President Vladimir Putin, – Bloomberg”
If they take that town circled in the top left, the road from there goes straight to the capitol. I imagine there is panic, fear and loathing in Moscow right now.
What a wonderful day! What a wonderful daayyy!!
So…can those new jets be used from a distance at whatever gets thrown towards this from Russia?
I don’t believe for a second that the US was not informed about this operation beforehand. “Ok do it, but we will deny prior knowledge”. A too risky move by Ukraine otherwise.
This is great. Let Russia level their own cities, mine their own territories, deal with reconstruction themselves. And it’s a great bargaining chip.
Hope they can get even more territory and keep it for a while to negotiate with Russia. Or make Russia waste so many resources and deploy so many troops that Ukraine can counterattack elsewhere.
We are all playing the guessing where next… this is what you want nobody knows especially Russia
Blitzkrieg
Don’t forget, AFAIK the area counts as “border-close” regarding the use of long-range weapons.
Probably me huffing copium but the fact this is happening after they received f16s and patriots are being moved up makes me think something spicy is coming.
This is an unsolvable dilemma for the Russians. Looks like the war is going to end one way or another. Hopefully not after nukes get launched but I suppose the Ukrainians are even willing to get nuked if it means Russia is defeated.
Do you think Ukraines goal is to push all the way until the Seym River? Provides a natural barrier.
AFU’s advancements are significant. The details here are really eye-opening.
Media accountability is so important. Glad this was brought to light.
I believe it’s a distraction, so russia has to rotate and defend… cant believe it’s a counterattack, but I hope so.
AFU made a lot of progress. Fingers crossed.
I really hope they get that nuclear powerplant if thats within they reach, that alone would be a huge hit.
Best get y’all’s asses off that main road way. Someone call up Iraq, circa 1991, and ask them what could happen.

Holy shit.
Two in the pink and one in the stink
And THAT is how you open a front
Africa, but with tentacles.
