US officials report that Russia shifted several thousand troops from occupied Ukrainian territories to the Kursk Oblast, following a surprise Ukrainian incursion, but Russia primarily deploys untrained conscripts there rather than moving its more experienced units from Ukraine.

Fertilizer from Russia, a bright future is ahead for The people republic of Kursk!
Did Russia truly dump their entire military into Ukraine, that they have to do this now? I hope those incoming units get bombed before they can reach Kursk
You don’t plug a leak like this with several thousand troops. You need several tens of thousands of troops. They’re gonna try to plug the same leak over and over with the same result every time
There is no way the entire frontline will lengthen and the combat to intensify without either total Russian collapse or Putin calling for full mobilization. Both are bad options for him and Russia.
Many often make comparisons of Modern Russia to the Soviet Union. While I can understand why someone would make such comparisons, these comparisons are ultimately misguided. Russia today is far more comparable with Tsarist Russia than the Soviet Union. From the political structures to the military, it smacks a lot like Tsarist Russia.
Leading Russia into wars it cannot win, against highly militarized foes it simultaneously underestimated, and suffering embarrassing defeats in the process. While the rest of the world looks at you with in utter disbelief.
> shifted several thousand troops
Battle hardened experienced soldiers, or lambs to be sent to slaughter ?
I think Russia should just give up its land for peace. Why prolong the conflict?
It will be difficult to get troops moved and logistics set up before winter.
Hopefully this takes the sting out of the Russian advances in the east. I hope they keep smashing them Russian lines in the north in hopes that the Russians can’t help but plug the holes with Russians from the east and then I hope the Ukrainians smash the Russians back in the east!
They will get HIMARSed as they approach. Putin cant afford to send his veteran units first.
So basically 30 days worth of bodies?..
May Mr.Himars greet them with open arms.
Looks like a good time to attack where those troops left ….
So in like a week Ukraine takes Russian territory and Ukraine will take back without a shot fired what gains Russia made in the past year. Well done heroes 🇺🇦
Didn’t Ukraine get almost all of them with a himars?
This is just the first penetration into Russia. The Russians do not have the troops to keep up this wack-a-mole game. This is the beginning of the end.

Racing back to Kursk
And there it is. Basically game over. Light em on their retreat and break through the front where there are now weaknesses. Only a matter of time before something gives.
Very soon, they occupied territories will be up for grabs once they move the troops out of there.
Headline is wrong, Russia is moving troops from old Ukraine to new Ukraine.
So, like, 3 days or so of casualties?
Invaded by a force forged in battle with Russias best men.
Russia: Yeah, our youngest most inexperienced can take them on.
I really fucking hope that this is the beginning of the end for Putin’s “special military operation”.
Come on intel, hit them before they get there
