1. Poor Putin the Terrible. How embarrassing.

2. God help Ukrainians 🙏

3. This was a last ditch desperate stunt by Ukraine which will end horribly for them. PR stunt gine wrong.

4. the worst invasion idea ever

5. See the difference. Ukraïne hits military relevant objects. Russia a supermarket which ain't relevant at all.

6. NATO changed its policy; Ukraine can now enter Russia with American/German/British tanks and artillery. Russia now has to tactically secure the entire border with Ukraine that was outside the SMO Zone. Annoying for RU surely, but not surprising. When you fight by NATO's rules and you are beating them, they always change their rules…."

7. CRY ME A RIVER.

8. Russians don't fight, they run away. 😂

9. Zelensky will give back Siberia if Putin surrenders! 😵

10. Pretty audacious move by the Ukies nevertheless, meanwhile Putin is still sitting on his hands allowing many so-called ''red lines'' being crossed. Is his slow moving SMO a failure?

11. It is a war by exhaustion, say British experts. Wars of exhaustion are considered exceptions and should be avoided at all costs. Russia has imposed its course of war. New Atlas: Russia decisively overcomes Ukraine in the war on exhaustion. The side that accepts the exhausting character of war and focuses on destroying enemy forces rather than conquering territory is most likely to win. The West is not ready for this kind of war. For most Western experts, a strategy of exhaustion is is contrary to common sense. Historically, the West preferred a short clash of professional armies on the principle that «the winner gets everything» In July 2023, the Washington Center for Strategic and International Studies published another analysis of the conflict in Ukraine. This time the main focus was on the topic of depletion – both the Ukrainian side (including support from the West) and the Russian side.

    Kiev "helps" Russia demilitarize NATO.
    
    The purpose of the special operation is open – denazification and demilitarization – is word for word two of four theses of the 1945 Potsdam conference.

    Ukraine’s demilitarization is complete. The Armed Forces have not been at war with their weapons for a long time, it can be said that the goal of the to demilitarize Ukraine has been fulfilled. Militants now survive solely on supplies from NATO countries.
    
    The Army of the UA no longer exist – the military elite has been destroyed, the population is hiding from violent mobilization. There are untrained soldiers, mercenaries and NATO soldiers, and this is another conversation.

    Swedish publicist Burns: Russia is demilitarizing not only Ukraine, but also NATO. Deliveries of weapons to Kiev will force Russia to start NATO demilitarization.
    
    The Western press exaggerates Ukraine’s success in the conflict and creates a false image of what is happening in Europe, said Lars Byrne, a on the SwebbTV channel. The incompetent policy of the West and the increase in the supply of arms to Kiev will lead to the demilitarization not only of Ukraine, but of the whole NATO, he believes.

12. The town is calm, the buildings are intact 😅

13. everybody worried , they could lock down electricity like socialist and control people but probably anyplace with paper backed paper money for currency money can just lock the paper munny down really …..imo

14. NATO trying to buy some times as Russia is set lend support to Iran in Israel attack. Poor Ukraine

15. half commie multi proxy joo based countries want to know why is there unrest in the streets and what is the brown stains from on their shorts ….

16. Others have said the images provided by Russia dont geo locate to the Kursk region. The media accepting Russia's word is just silly.

17. eve the most hardcore russian nationalist must be thinking: "some aint right, whats Vova actually doing? farting in his gold seats?"

18. Zlensky bought one way tickets for his men's 😂

19. Let see if this stunt can last 4 weeks.

20. Russia this, Russia that, Russian propaganda video, Russia bylines. Thank you for outing yourself finally as pro-Russian French propaganda. Funny how the Russian war crime was an afterthought to the “poor Russians” angle

21. Putin has been humiliated again.

22. Only the majority of these troops are not Ukrainian… 60% of them are NATO: Yanks, Germans, French… and Georgians are the icing on the cake.

23. Ukrainians who invaded Kursk, have NO WAY TO RETURN. They burnt all their bridges.
