Ukraine’s hold on Kursk region draws fears of Putin’s response

Military expert Glenn Ignazio says Ukraine’s assault into the Kursk region of Russia was ‘eye opening’ and could bode poorly for Putin.

  1. Military "expert" Ignazio must have not been looking at the map. Kursk and its area is one of dozens of points of engagement. Russia dominates in all but Kursk where Russia decided to play defense in order to circle the Ukrainians. I do not have to draw a picture of what is going to happen, do I, Mr. Ignazio?

  2. What is really worrying is that Sweden tried a similar strategy against Russia a long, long time ago…

    The issue is if Russia doesn't want to keep a certain piece of land, they always strip it barren. It's a really really annoying tactic but it works because Ukrainian and Russian winters are notorious for being impossible to advance in, so the advancing side has to win within 8 months (Spring to the next Winter) or else the supply lines become too thin.

    If Russian winters are not the hellscape they are, this war wouldve been over a year ago.

  3. yeah, Putin will make a choice soon, few Ukrainians cities become a nuclear waste land!
    this was the most stupid stunt by Zelenski and his cronies and now they cut off ALL roads to peace talks

  4. This analyst is not smart. Ukraine is cutting off supply lines for Russian troops in Ukraine. Also Russia has already moved thousands of troops from Ukraine to the Kursk offensive, this guy has no clue what he's talking about

  5. Ukraine is wrecking Russian bridges in Kursk Oblast… meaning that they are taking sensible precautions against an expected counterattack…. but here is the other side: Ukraine also has bridges, and they also need them. Logistics rule.

  6. Why the hell are we funding a Russian invasion? It’s not okay. This is precisely why Russia has been trying to take back Ukraine, for their national security. This is ridiculous. Enough. What’s the end goal here?

  7. One thing that wasn't mentioned and I don't know how reliable it is but some of the independent newscasts have said that there are foreign soldiers in Ukrainian uniforms up in that area there that Ukraine has invaded and also that they have very Advanced weaponry so we'll see what happens I guess

  8. Путь далёк у нас с тобою,
    Веселей, солдат, гляди!
    Вьётся, вьётся знамя полковое,
    Командиры впереди.

    Солдаты, в путь, в путь, в путь!
    А для тебя, родная,
    Есть почта полевая.
    Прощай! Труба зовёт,
    Солдаты – в поход!

    Каждый воин, парень бравый,
    Смотрит соколом в строю.
    Породнились мы со славой,
    Славу добыли в бою.

    Пусть враги запомнят это:
    Не грозим, а говорим.
    Мы прошли с тобой полсвета.
    Если надо – повторим.

    Солдаты, в путь, в путь, в путь!
    А для тебя, родная,
    Есть почта полевая.
    Прощай! Труба зовёт,
    Солдаты – в поход!

    А теперь для нас настали
    Дни учёбы и труда.
    Год за годом только процветали
    Наши сёла-города!

    Солдаты, в путь, в путь, в путь!
    А для тебя, родная,
    Есть почта полевая.
    Прощай! Труба зовёт,
    Солдаты – в поход!
