1. Buffer zone? Will Belgorod be thick enough?

2. Obvious, to capture the Russian nuclear power plant to swap for the Ukraine Russian controlled nuclear plant in the east, the largest in all of Europe, this has already failed as they won’t make it, you won’t here this in the west

3. Those Nato soldiers won't last long there.

4. Getting enough land to have a Land for Land swap . 🙄

5. It's a PR stunt that will bear no fruit.

6. Be careful of TV armchair experts

7. I'm guessing Zelensky is there to start WW3 for the Military Industrial Complex in Washington DC. Biden/ Harris are funding both sides of this war.

8. Obviously, their goal to silence Russian bot farms.

9. “Since the beginning of the operation in the Kursk region, our troops have advanced 35km, taken control of an area of ​​1150 km2 and took control over 82 settlements,” commander in chief Syrskyi said.

12. Russia lost in Afghanistan, Japan, world war 1. Should I keep going?Another Russian SU 34 Jet was Shot Down in the Kursk Region …. That makes FOUR Russian Jets Shot Down in the Kursk Region in 7 Days … Five Russian Helicopters have also been Shot Down i the Kursk Region which includes FOUR Russian KA 52 Helicopters and One MI .Poo-tin Wanted a … …" BUFFER ZONE " Russian forces are rapidly digging a network of trenches in Kursk Oblast, with only one catch: The trenches are 45km behind the border. Russian forces have been developing a trench network that, if fallen back to, would cede Ukraine a massive amount of territory.

13. Buffer zone doesn't make practical sense. This has been a huge PR win and may yet draw Russian forces reliving pressure. Ukraine doesn't have the resources and numbers to hold this territory and why wisely they have already announced they have no plans to.

14. Western media are the most funny thing in the world

15. Napolean and Hitler both entered Russia but end up miserably. Ukraine with US army backing enter Russia for third world war.

16. Putin never said the invasion would be over in 3 days.

19. This is not about a buffer zone. It has a much bigger strategic and tactical meaning.

20. Putin going mad

21. A spokesperson for Ukraine's President has stated the 4 key aims of the Kursk offensive: (1) to highlight the failures of the Russian authorities – their inability to make quick and effective decisions; (2) to push back Russian artillery to better protect Ukrainian border orders; (3) to cut off logistics routes; (4) to transfer the war to Russian territory with its attendant social consequences.

23. 🇺🇦

24. For how long will the forces remain in Russia and at what cost to madam Von DER layn cabal

25. When did Putin say the war will end in three days?

26. In 1943, the Germans had two million soldiers poised to take Kursk, along with them were the 800,000-strong Italian 8th Army, and 225,000-strong Hungarian 1st Army. In total, THREE MILLION men intent on taking Kursk. When the smoke cleared, the Italians and Hungarians were decimated so severely, only 10 percent of the men they sent to Russia returned to their homelands. The Germans were mauled badly, but the bulk of their force survived to make a retreat that didn't stop until the Battle of Berlin.
