  1. Would think that pushing Russia out of their country would be their main goal, but that’s just me.

  2. The first time since the 90s that hope for an actual break up of the Russian empire is coming back. Many separatist movements will watch closely what happens in Kursk, soon Putler might face a lot of new frontiers.

  5. What’s been the Hungarian reaction to this incursion?? Haven’t seen anything yet

  6. Ukraine has reached its maximum advance without compromising its supply lines. They already had to retreat from certain areas: [https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/d2/August_2024_Kursk_Oblast_incursion.svg](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/d2/August_2024_Kursk_Oblast_incursion.svg)

    Compared to all the big invasions in her history, from Russia’s perspective, the incursion in Kursk is a mere embarrassing border incident.

    In fact, it looks like a desperate attempt to gain a leverage because of the continuous setbacks in the Donbas. Russia is already using its reserves to stop Ukraine’s advance, the most experienced units are still continuing their relentless assault in the Donbas. They’re already inside New York: [https://understandingwar.org/sites/default/files/Toretsk%20Battle%20Map%20Draft%20August%2011%2C%202024.png](https://understandingwar.org/sites/default/files/Toretsk%20Battle%20Map%20Draft%20August%2011%2C%202024.png)

    And how will a bunch of border towns help Ukraine in its peace negotiation anyway? Maybe they would be able to exchange them with the Robotyne salient, a small piece of land that Ukraine spent so much soldiers to conquer last year, and has now been retaken by Russia: [https://understandingwar.org/sites/default/files/Zaporizhia%20Battle%20Map%20Draft%20August%2011%2C%202024.png](https://understandingwar.org/sites/default/files/Zaporizhia%20Battle%20Map%20Draft%20August%2011%2C%202024.png)

    The main issue with Ukraine now is the lack of manpower. It dedicated only around 1,000 soldiers in Kursk, it can’t afford to invest much more.

  8. Ukraine liberates the people’s republic from the Nazis of «Rusich» and the ideology of the fascist Ilyin, which is popular among Russian oligarchs and the political elite

  9. Only 34 down votes? Come on yall. You can do better thanthat!

  10. So many red lines are being crossed ( as expected without consequences ), incredible.

    “Escalation management”™ has been completely discredited.

  11. Cool, now Ukraine has about 17,000,000 sq km more to go.

    More seriously, I don’t see the point in this incursion. Russia still does not seem to be moving any resources from the Donbass… And in a few weeks Ukraine may be stuck because of the logistics. One thing is to advance 10km, another thing is to advance 100km.

  13. Good, if russians are so fond of their war, take it to them

  14. Free Kursk People’s Republic! That’s just a special military operation, isn’t it?

  15. Poles malding, crying. They’re being left out. It’s unfair!

    (NATO when are you sending troops?)
