47 comments

1. When is this war going to end?

2. Means nothing for Russia,
   called my partner about it soon as I herd because I was concerned for her safety as she is over there right now.
   this barely made the news in Russia, to quote Monty python "tis but a scratch"
   people forget how massive the Russian land mass is, this barely made a dent.
   I think its just to warm us up for another round of Zelensky "pro begging"

3. Slava Ukraine

4. Fails to say where this territory is

5. According to Russia's military doctrine, if an enemy invades its territory, it has the right to use nuclear weapons. Putin, of course, will not do this. But it can be removed at any time. Whoever went to Kursk thought about this?

6. Ukraine exposed Russian weaknesses.

7. Russia now tastes its own policy of aggression!

8. 'Carefully planned'…yeah, by nato

9. Sky News, the best place for unbiased reporting

10. No air support, they will be blitzed

11. Sorry what’s the point of this? Russia can end this war tomorrow if it wanted to.

12. Zelensky wants more cash

13. Sorry @Sky News, Micheal Clarke knows nothing about what is going on as well as Sean Bell. The one that does have some sort of a clue is Philip Ingram.

14. It's not joyful news for Ukrainian since that village has been abandoned by Russian anyway.

15. I see the self declared expert Clarke is back with his bullshit.

16. Not a mention of the nuclear plant guys…tut tut tut
    If they take it, it could end the war this year

17. Why is the USA and NATO escalating the situation in UKRAINE ?

18. Has anyone noticed that there is literally nothing except the untrained conscripts and a tiny number of corrupt lazy cowardly FSB troops standing between the Ukrainian army and Moscow.. the entire effective and trained Russian army is bogged down in Ukraine. …clearly the Ukrainians have a well thought out plan, they have the logistics, they have the manpower… Putin should be terrified… the Ukrainian army could possibly be seen driving their tanks around red square. It’s only 300 km to Moscow… this could be the start of one of the most amazing, spectacular victories ever! None of the so called experts can figure out the motivation behind this invasion… maybe they are too conservative, scared, cowed, and small minded.
    Prigozhin showed what was possible… if Moscow is the goal….it’s audacious, it’s game changing and it’s clear that Ukrainian intelligence was excellent, the Ukrainian army has caught the Russians unaware, unprepared and with their pants down.

19. Clarke has had his cobwebs dusted down and is wheeled out again to peddle his propaganda.

20. But Donetsk region has taken a downhill turn in the weeks leading up to this operation. If the ukrainians dont keep advancing now, it will be all for nothing. Except for the fact they can cut off NATO members that still buy russian gas by shutting of the valve in Sudzha. That in itself is enough to make some in the west mad at them if they do so. Probably why they went in right there.

21. Keep lying sky tv

22. The areas Ukraine have captured in the Kursk area will just turn into another meatgrinder just like everywhere else on the front

23. Means nothing 945 have died already, it’s a mere distraction from the 120000 soldiers they have lost in the past 60days.

24. zelensky on Cocaina

25. Maybe Russia will respond in the same fashion as Israel did when it was invaded?
    Surely there would be no protests from the West if that happened since they did and still do seem to support the activities of Israel in Gaza.
    Comment quickly, before the post is shadow banned or deleted.

26. Ukraine used spices winds on a Uralic town inside of Russia

27. It's crazy how YouTube all of a sudden started letting us all see the war that's happened and letting us all think that Ukraine is winning … how silly do they think people are ..Ukraine have lost 900k troops everyone knows it's a losing battle …

28. Are there any nuclear power plants in the area? If so, perhaps that may be their objective?

29. There's a lot of infrastractures in Kursk to be a battle ground.

30. So there's gonna be a referendum there soon to annex those land to Ukraine?

31. Sky News eh. What a laugh. So Michael Clarke , who usually gives questionable explanations, points out that this is a 'risky' strategy for UKR. Quite so. He omits the criticism that appeared immediately from several senior Ukrainian military – probably people outside the loop, given the raging factionalism at the top, that this was a wrong headed operation. But we'll see. Several reports (based on overheard comms) put GB MI6 up as part of the organisation. Interesting that the Biden administration claims it had no prior knowledge of Ukraine’s plan to attack. If true it raises questions about the usual coordination of AFU action with satellite data. But it's probably untrue. The attack was clearly well planned but has already cost them dear. I read over 80 vehicles and 650+ kia. Also it is clear the personnel did not comprise new forces, Zelenski doesn't have any. So, he has been bleeding many of his best units all along the front to form the force. Risky indeed given the non stop AFR advances. And it has clearly failed to drag AFR forces away from the front elswhere. One serious problem, if the plan is as Michael suggests, to hold the ground 'for some time', is that as soon as they dig in they become fixed targets and be mercilessly pounded by FABs. Should not have listened to Boris the bs-er in April 2022 and taken what was a very good deal.

32. It means that NATO troops, mostly UK, American & German, stormed Russia..I have the footage in X..it didn't go that well for them in the end. BTW, Ukraine's army is dead, it's 100% NATO troops now

33. 💙💛

34. Ukrainian troops advance into Russia. I have to ask, did no one watch Shaka Zulu, obviously not in Ukraine.

35. Fortune

36. This move could push Russia to use its nukes. Zelensky was the worst thing to have happened to Ukrainian people. This war could have easily been avoided by some smart politics.

37. Putin dug a deep pit for Russia. He apparently did not read the Book of the Proverbs of King Solomon. Putin’s false god is no god.
