Russia-Ukraine war: ‘Russia will do whatever it takes to fight Ukraine’s incursion in Kursk’

Russia will have to deploy ‘elite’ troops to fight Ukraine’s incursion in the Kursk region, as it will do “whatever it takes” to claim back Russian ground.

Security and defence analyst Professor Michael Clarke has told Sky News the incursion is “getting bigger” and “seems to be 30 miles long and around 18 miles deep” which in military terms is “pretty big”.

He said the battle will be measured “in days and weeks not weeks and months”.

  1. This guy Clarke is only credible for people with very very short lived memory or people without a clue about reality.
    He keeps contradicting himself on a 48hs basis, adjusting his narrative after facts don't fit to his previous assertions. Not recognizing his mistakes but completely 'forgetting' them and shamelessly saying the opposite

  2. This is an old school cavalry raid on wheels. They'll be long gone before the Russians put enough in place to expel them. With the morale of those Ukrainians now anything they face that aren't veterans will be decimated or worse. A key question is, what equipment is being used here. Can they resupply with captured gear?

  3. Russia is currently steam rolling Ukraine in the EAST🤣🤣🤣decided to run to a place where is less soldiers just for so called experts to say they are winning. This is crazy.

  4. who else is tried of russia threatening ever country in th eworld and more so he has attacked , invaded and stolen lands form multiole countrys …why should we stand by an wait till russia is at our door step to do the same thing when we can support ukriane and stop them ever reaching our doors …

  5. Russian now will Deighton with full force against the Ukrainian . And its was big mistake to go on their land. If the Russian soldiers felt not uncomfortable to fight ,so now it’s will make them feel that they should to fight. Don’t know who is advising the strategy to mr present of Ukraine, but its wasn’t day wise action.Even in the first glance its looks like they were trying so hard to show Russia that they can invade and made them self feel proud of it . But it’s was huge mistake to do it.And now it’s made them fight with big force.Even though it’s fascinating how the president Zelenskyy show his ambition against the Russian invasion..He’s the only one could defend his country if we will look back at the history of others presidents.And I like that he doing it with dignity.

  6. It is amazing that the Russian Army is the 2nd strongest in Russia, while the Ukrainian army is the 2nd strongest in Ukraine. But the latter is a reliable conclusion, and the former is temporary, because Ukrainians waged a surprising attack. Had the Ukrainians made a trailer before the surprise attack, this attack would fail.

  7. So… The ‘expert’ says Russia is using gas, but we have no evidence, but we know it’s being used.

    Ok, let’s look at another angle. If all the civilians have been evacuated and Russia really is using gas, then why haven’t they gassed the Ukrainian forces? It would be pretty simple since it’s Russian territory and they could block any investigation. Or maybe the ‘expert’ is not an expert?

    Why is Russia using cluster munitions to take out a pockets of UAF in assorted areas, when gas would take out the whole lot and be a lot cheaper?

    Remember he is the same guy that claimed 2 years ago that Russia had run out of ammo and was throwing men over the tops of trenches in first would war charges armed only with wooden shovels.

  8. This move looks like it's for all the marbles!… Interesting that CS gas is illegal, but not cluster munitions!… How idiotic!

  9. This is already a success for Ukraine. Regardless if they give the territory back. They have put everyday Russians on notice that they are not safe. That the Russian government hasn’t been telling the truth about their own successes and progress.

  10. United together 140 million Russian people can change their stars and take back their country from Moscow❤

  11. I Don't care for this 'Expert', could be your sound is dropping out, but he seems to answer "Yes, No and Maybe" to everything. Just learn to say, "I don't know.", or it becomes Monty Python-esque in short order.
    Better to wait, than post rubbish.

  12. America's defense minister has also gone astray. He is so dark that he sees day as night. He has used all his power to stop Iran but the world knows that America is selling its weapons by making the countries of the world fight with each other.

  13. If they move east enough it may block supplies to Russians fighting in Kharkiv. If that occurs, it might be one of the biggest surrenders since WWI

  14. No Putin is screwed. He lost the "war" and the ruling elite gonna throw him out of a window. They want to live. Putin could never say he loose the war. And he could never fire nukes. He is a little man with complexes. He gonna be remebred as little Hitler.

  15. why is russia losing more territory then? Why is ukraine going into belgorod now? Why is russia begging wagner in africa to come home? The end of russia is coming soon!
