  1. Looks like Putin’s finally figuring out that playing Risk in real life isn’t as fun as it sounds!

  2. The funny thing is that every time you start hearing from Ruzzians that they stopped Ukrainian advance, a news brief comes from Ukraine with increasing number of controlled settlements. 😏

  4. Ukraine applying good pressure for this to happen. Keep up the good work.

  5. As much as I’d like to be proven wrong, I wouldn’t be too optimistic. This whole offensive could even backfire. RuSSia has more bodies for the meat grinder and keeps gaining ground in the Donbas region. Ukraine is lacking men and also certain equipment. They might very well lose more of Donbas while wasting men and equipment for a short term, tactical but largely symbolic point scored in Kursk. And if that’s what happens it could have a negative impact on Western support (of which there’s already not enough).

    But yeah, I’m keeping my fingers crossed for Ukraine!

  6. And those units will be in tightly packed formations utilizing the main highways…

    And they´re gone….

  7. Can someone explain how Ukraine holds these area? Is it a perimeter or something or are they keeping some forces in villages? I understood the actual amount of troops in Russia was fairly small considering how much land they are controlling. I would think they would start to get stretched thin if they wanted to hold any territory.

  8. Isn’t this how Rome eventually dealt with Hannibal?

    They were having a hard time beating him on the field of battle in Rome but he could take the city states with fortifications. So since they couldn’t force him out they just went and attacked Carthage which couldn’t repel them and eventually had to recall Hannibal.

    Getting them with the old school tactics.

  10. Get all your troops out of Ukraine 🇺🇦 for good.

  11. Well.

    This pretty much shows that if, back in 2021, Ukraine had launched a “Special military operation” against Russia it would probably have been over in 3 days.

  12. Remember when tankies said Russia has unlimited man and resources reserves and they have millions on troops ready to crush Ukraine?

    Turned out Russia has nothing behind its frontline.

  13. Hey Zelenskyy, if you could smoke some of guys that keep stealing everyone’s ssn’s, that’d be great

  14. Good work Ukraine. Now this momentum must be sustained by them and their allies to liberate the rest of Ukraine.

  16. Whats the chances of Russia eventually using a tactical nuke within its own borders?

  18. That’s probably one of the main reasons why Ukraine invaded, to pull Russian troops away from Ukraine and towards them inside Russia.

  19. Do we think this was the plan? Probe deep into somewhere Putin will take it fucking seriously so to weaken some of his other front lines.

    I did wonder if Zelinsky is looking to dig deep in Russian territory to make things hard if Trump gets in. The assumption is that if he does, he will apply pressure for Ukraine to settle for current boundaries. With Ukraine now taking Russian territory that’s not going to be acceptable to either side.

  21. The Russian advantage in Ukraine was their dug-in position that did not need skilled combatants.

    Can the recruits with no training handle mobile and open warfare? The people who stream tiktok from a moving column? Who lack food and water to be constantly on the move?

  22. I think they call this a “shaping operation”

    Unfortunately Russia has no shape at all

  23. It would be hilarious if this whole thing ends with Russia becoming part of Ukraine

  26. This *might* be the objective of Ukraine’s Kurks offensive.

    Now we need to see from where did they take them, if that’s enough to impact Russia’s effectiveness in the region, and if Ukraine can take the advantage from it.

  29. When Putin called this a “special military operation” I didn’t realise he meant special in the Special Olympics sense of the word.

  30. …dumbass Russian player pressed F1 + attack move and clicked the home base instead of selecting the control group 2 and then sending them on attack move while group 1 kept smashing the enemy base. These real life rts gamers are dumb af. /S

  31. This makes me happy!
    I wish to be happy more often!
    I wish to go back to some boring times!
    Slava Ukraini!

  32. Putin: Somebody set up us the bomb.
    Ruzzian General: Main screen turn on.

    Ukranian Bradley:

    **All your base are belong to us.**

    You have no chance to survive make your time.

  33. Would you look at the time? It’s almost HIMARS o’clock

  34. Yeah but from where?

    If he isn’t pulling them from Donetsk its irrelevant

  39. Russia has 11 time zones. Why they need to expand into the Ukraine is stupid.

  40. Soooo Russia is stopping their invasion of a country, to stop the invasion of their country by the country theyre invading.

    Look…..maybe just go the fuck home?

  41. I wonder if this incursion is the first domino in the collapse of the Russian front. Seems like Putin has been reluctant to take troops away from Ukraine until now which hints he really can’t afford it. If he can’t contain the incursion and the front at the same time, that is big trouble.
