Kursk incursion: How significant is Ukraine’s advance into Russian territory?

Ukraine’s incursion into Russia is “big” and represents much more than just a raid, our security and defence analyst Professor Michael Clarke says.

Fighting has continued in the Kursk region of Russia for a fourth day after Ukrainian forces smashed through the border earlier this week.

There is much that remains unclear and Ukraine remains tight-lipped about what is happening – and what its broader goal for the operation is.

  1. Everything is fine. Ukraine is simply liberating ethnic Ukrainians and historical Ukrainian regions from the oppressive illegitimate putin regime. Ukraine will be happy to welcome the Kursk People's Republic, after a very legitimate referendum of course, back into its rightful place as part of the Greater Ukraine.

  2. Can someone either win or lose like this is getting long and dragged out now and the rest of the WORLD pays the bills At least Russia does not have there hands out begging for money saying help me help me guess what there is an old saying HELP YOURSELF

  3. Pulling the troops from chasiv yar and the donbas is illogical they are problably getting them from their freshly new soldiers that they have manipulated into fighting for something so pathetic.

  4. Slava Ukraini 💛💙 Putin will not sleep well tonight he must be regretting ever starting this war what a 🤡

  5. NATO is marching us into a nuclear war. Stop this before it’s too late. Ukraine has zero chance of winning and the human race stands to lose everything

  6. It doesn't take the brains of a professor to know when a rehearsal on foreign names is needed before going live on cam.
    The 7 P's, Michael.
    Works every time 👍

  7. Again i don't know no way of knowing at the moment if ever exactly what has happened here but overall my take away if Russia continues to do nothing is that this "unhinges" the absolutely MASSIVE Russian military effort upon in Belgorod to defend the Border Region between Belgorod and Kharkov. My understanding of Russian military logistics is all still done by Rail although presumably upon in Belgorod proper this is not the case at all and hence why Russian vehicle losses continue to be mind blowing. If the entire Oblast of Kursk decides and this is an actual quote from those of this place "We are safer being defended by Ukraine" that sure sounds like the worst case scenario for Russian Occupation Forces currently in Belgorod. I don't really know what to make of this because Russia has always outnumbered Ukraine 1000-1 … just never at the point of thinking realistically about the taking Ukraine as an entire effort tho. One way to find out and thatvis to find out. Calls for going nuclear against Kursk obviously that isn't going to happen. People might have to get used to the idea of Russia LOSING actually which is hardly uncommon in War. Is funny to watch these hair brained clowns in the West STILL root for Russia right now tho. Does appear like Russia is actually siding with Ukraine at the moment. 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
