This is a pretty bold statement. It seems like they are really going for it!
And here I was hoping the end for Putin would be something more akin to how Saddam or Ghaddafi ended their careers. Oh well, it might still happen.
Excatly what I would say before invading Brjansk and liberate Crimea.
Please don’t tell me Ukraine chose the location of the operation to match the name of the submarine, because that would be too funny.
Russia is a one-headed hydra. Dramatic action to force/cause the end of Putin is the gambit here, right?
Give him everything he deserves, Ukraine. 💛💛💛💛
Yes but only if Ukraine manages to gain support from opposition forces along the way. Then it’s a cascade effect that destabilizes all of Russia. Hoping for that!
There are more than a few Sun Tzu quotes which work well for this series of events.
It feels like one of those moves on a chess board where you crash through into the back rank, don’t actually take any pieces, and suddenly your opponent has very few (or no) remaining moves. Anything effective that Russia does to counter this will probably be fatal to large portions of their campaign within Ukraine (if not all of it).
Everything will be Ukraine! 🇩🇰❤🇺🇦
This is the way – Ukraine will gladly trade 1 km^(2) of land in Ukraine, under easily defended conditions causing massive losses for Russians, for 100 km^(2) of land in Russia that is poorly defended requiring little cost in Ukraine life. At some point even Putin can’t ignore growing incursions into Russia proper. There is simply no way Putin could avoid re-allocating troops out of the Ukraine front once Ukraine has control of 20,000 km^(2) of Russian land.
He knows more than us about the offensive, so this is massive if true.

> In his evening address, on August 12, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy reflected on the trajectory of Russia under Putin's leadership, drawing a comparison between the Kursk submarine disaster 24 years ago, which marked the symbolic beginning of Putin's rule, and the current situation in the Kursk region amidst the ongoing war.
> Zelenskyy suggested that just as the Kursk disaster was a significant moment at the start of Putin's era, the current circumstances signal the end of his rule and the fate of Kursk as well.
> "We see where Russia is actually going under Putin: 24 years ago there was the Kursk disaster – the symbolic beginning of his rule; and now it is clear what is the end for him. And Kursk too. The disaster of his war," he said.
The situation in kursk could get way worse for Russia in the coming days. The nuclear powerplant there provides power to 10M users, including factories producing military equipment. Soon, lots of juicy Russian targets will be within ATACMS range.
Let’s hope so.
The sinking of the Kursk came 8 months after Putin became President. It would be fitting if the Kursk invasion came 8 months before the end of him
Zelensky is not the one to make empty threats and promises. I think he has some insider Russian intel.
Let’s GO!!! Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦💛💙
Looks like Russia bluffs and selensky wants them to show their cards.
The Russians have sacrificed tens of thousands of lives trying to take Ukrainian defensive positions and Ukraine has slowly let them move forward while sparing their own soldiers. Putin went all in and now he doesn’t have the personnel to defend his own borders and his own country, and his military is defenseless against Ukraine’s combined arms combat technology.
Well, when your war strategy reads like a level 1 player’s first day on Civilization, a Kursk ending seems about right.
