1. Haven't we seen this already? We know how this ends right? 🙂

2. Russia has never been defeated in battle, showcasing its military resilience and strategic prowess throughout history.

3. "Outrageous! How could they do that to us? The aggressor state invaded us treacherously!" LOL

4. The video of Putin with his clowns is hilarious.

5. Oh, no. Is it real?
   Are they attacking Russia?? Why???

6. Those are not ukranians, those are russians going back to take Putin head

7. The people of Russia ultimately, with military support, need to take matters into their own hands. If they truly wish to be free of the Putin Regime, then they must rise up themselves.

8. They started evacuating Kursk before the russians could vote to be Ukrainian

9. Wasn't that land taken by Russia in 2014 when it was Ukraine in the past?

10. When egipt started a war against israel and took some territory, Israel enter egypt territory and took some territory behind enemy lines that turned the tables and egypt has to surrender. The same strategy are being used now by ukranians

11. Whats the point going to enemy territory?. UAF will end up dead for nothing.

12. Thanks to Pres. Biden for opting out for re-election, this gives him a lot more wiggle room to deal with Russia without the Republican's criticism everytime he blinks an eye.

13. So ironic to hear Russian President complaining the Ukrainian invasion of a fraction of Russian territory….

14. nah, it's little green men, on a training exercise. or the chinese, or russians, or perhaps martians.

    keep guessing russia😂😂

15. What happen to Russia air defence? I've heard putin bragging about having a better air defence than usa 😂

16. Putin better hold his meetings in windowless rooms 😂😂😂

17. U.S. officials have no business questioning how Ukraine is dealing with russia. In my mind, to bring the war directly to the aggressor will draw russian military away from Ukraine to try defending their country. It's good strategy and the rest of the world could learn a great deal from Ukrainian military. The politicians in my country, America need to go about the business within America. Giving weapons and aid from the west, then dictating how and where they can be used is a complete disgrace. This foolishness has caused the war with russia to continue much longer than needed. Politics… it makes me sick.

18. 😂

19. Ukraine got army to attack Russia but don't have army to take back their territories 😂

20. Lol it’s just a special military operation, I would’ve thought Russia would know about them?

21. This is a NATO aggression against the Russian Federation with French, British, Polish and other NATO regular troops. Russia has a right to declare war on NATO abd use its nuclear weapons in self defense.

22. People of Kursk has asked Ukraine to liberate them.

23. It's a despicable and extremely ambitious move by Zelensky. His troops are now trapped and being shelled by a much superior Russian artillery from all sides. His Western allies can't bail him out of there without risking a nuclear-conflict with Russia, which would guarantee a wiping-out of EUROPE from the map. Pathetic!!

24. Are Ukrainian troops "… overstretched and out-gunned…"? Or are they just defending wide expanses of land in a manner which reduces Ukrainian losses as much as possible and entices Russia to keep attacking?

25. Is the Russian army now the second strongest army in Russia?

26. Very cheap sci-fi russian movie, It is true they were took by Ukraine army forces with their pants down, proud of Ukraine army forces 🇺🇦🦾🦾🦾🇺🇦

27. russia is turning into ukraine

28. such a huge nation .. outgunned and out smarted .. this is why russian popaganda is garbage

29. putin tweaking

30. Wow sending troops on complete suicide Misson for not real objective.

31. Drag Put In in the mud.

32. Putler

33. A few thousand of Ukraine's best troops sent to their guaranteed destruction or capture? Why?? What does it get Zelensky other than a few days in Western news?"

34. Hilarious?…..not at all men!….this war is so strange!!!!

35. Ukraine is our saviors

36. I am unemployed political scientist.

    I am confused.
    If Ukrainian army is lacking of manpower to defend Chasiv Yar, then why around 10 000 of Ukrainian soldiers are trying to advance into direction of Russian Kursk instead of defending a Chasiv Yar ?
    What is a point of such action ?
    Are Ukrainians hoping to take a Moscow ?

37. Ukraine is not getting enough aid from Allies to compete with Russia. They are on trajectory to slowly loose the war. So they have to try new things or its game over.

38. Nearly two thirds of the Ukrainian force that crossed the border has already been destroyed.

39. Zaleski listen to USA and Europe the result is a war and the people of Ukraine suffering now.

40. Putin has Fup big time. underestimated the warriors Ukraine.

41. Call it whatever you want Putin. You started it 😂.

42. Pretty sure they could march to Moscow if they felt like it

43. Airtight OPSEC in Ukraine but ruSSian bloggers confirm that the area of AFU control has increased.
    Sudzha has fallen.

44. Time for a referendum. I have a feeling these Russian regions would like to join Ukraine

45. US just said yesterday Ukraine "didnt violate our weapons policy". Lol. They changed the rules to give Ukraine an advantage…."

46. Kursk has historically had many Ukrainian speaking people there. Congratulations Kursk for being liberated from the Zregime
