The irony is-they do. from Napoleon to WWII-and all invasions came from the West-hence the reaction we are witnessing because of NATO. Understand history we are reliving it.
Russia has 700,000 soldiers in Ukraine & another 850,000 soldiers in Russia. There are 500k volunteers & 430k Conscripts. There are some 5K tanks in Ukraine & another 7K in Russia, some are brand spankin new. You'll figure it out as Ukraine continues to retreat.
If only they can... instead of rallying for peace knowing fully well that so many lives has been lost senselessly, ignorants like yourself celebrate petty advances that will only bring more destruction of lives
What is there to clarify? Russian forces will have to tactically adjust and redeploy to defend their vulnerable locations, which will eventually ease pressure on certain Ukrainian positions that have been under enormous strain. Evacuation of civilians drains valuable resources as well. That said, I have no idea if these moves will significantly impact the war effort. As long as Russian logistics is functioning, Russia is still able to re-supply their frontline with ammunition, food, fuel, and reinforcements within occupied Ukrainian territory. They also still have air-superiority and jamming capabilities in Donbass. Unless these advantages erode significantly, Russian troops in Ukraine will continue to be able to fight.
@ 3:48 "not even the Americans..." 1. Ukraine is under no obligation to ask permission from America 2.Who knows if America was informed or not? Politicians are not candid.
It’s also possible that Zelenskyy has finally learned the old western saying: “It’s better to ask forgiveness than permission.” It’s no secret that much of the Russian intelligence apparatus is focusing on western powers as much as it is Ukraine. So any advance notice except on the highest levels risk interception
Ukraine desperately need some positive news even if it is temporary in order to justify further western military support.And they know its a sacrifice....
Frank welcome back to the space. It is becoming clear that when narratives are required Frank and Mr Ramadi are the go to guys from the UK side and Marina is used to deliver more sober analysis when things are not going well. When this operation is done Frank will be retired to wherever he retires to, as for Mr Ramadi, it looks like France24 DW just couldn't take his rather "jovial" demeanor whenever he was called upon to offer some analysis. As for the Kursk situation, The so called Krisky bridge-head in Kherson comes to mind.
Since the invasion, I just see endless disinformation, propaganda, and spinning from both sides. After all, they were trained in the same way by the same people.
This what we call a Hail Mary by Ukraine. The entire south is slowly collapsing. I think this invasion of Kursk will end up badly for Ukraine, this is their last strategic reserves, many Ukrainians officers on telegram and twiter have serious doubts about this operation
Zelenskyy reviewed old treaties and noticed that the Russian region of Kursk was once apart of Ukraine. He asks all Russian forces pull out of what should rightfully be Ukrainian territory as the UAF works to right this historical injustice
Game plan of Nato. Nato arms are using inside Kursk. Western betrayed with Russia for their commitment that western arms only use in Kharkhib and Belgarod region. Now Russia have get a chance to enter summy within one or two month. Ukraine will loose their elite force hundreads tank and Vehicle in Kursk. Already 85 tanks and Vehicle lost. Who entered could not back their home , I think. New frontline help Russia for rapid advance across the frontline. 10:18😅 10:18
