@@monumentaltravel3745 They're already working on that. Russia's existence is dependant on the whims of the CCP. I wouldn't be surprised if the CCP ask for "co-rule" over the land that formerly constituted Outer Manchuria in order to "protect" the Chinese communities there.
Too early. If they do this now and lose it within 12 months, Russia can basically say "We've defeated AFU again and captured more Ukranian land". It's one thing to invade, it's another thing to hold it. Only time will tell. It's barely 1 week ago since AFU only invaded.. It's still 526,6 km forwards from Kursk to Moscow If they will reach Kursk in the first place..
They are not alone they are tool of west bullies racist force, which need to be stopped. WHAT russia asked ukrain? Do not join NATO, NATO and ukrain refused.What option russia has, let ukrain being used as tool of West to deeshtablize Russia?
Well actually, Ukraine didn't capture Kursk in their wettest dreams, look at the map where it is😅 They took some small village so far and aren't advancing
@mikhail7863 , 😂😂😂 Russia hasn't taken more than they did in 2014....... and it has been almost 3 years since they invaded at full scale, and almost 500,000 lost soldiers. They took small villages and aren't advancing.
There are now many people who speak Ukrainian in Kursk, there should be a referendum to free Kursk from Russia. Glad to see Ukraine is de-nazifying Russia.
Kursk would not survive as a country on its own and Ukraine could not absorb it into Ukraine ..Then in the future another Putin like leader might go to war again to get it back from Ukraine .. .Why cause that possible senario .
They could theoretically use nuclear weapons on their own territory, or sabotage the Kursk NPP to create radiation that would force Kiev to withdraw its troops. That might be a provocation that would draw western forces in to a more direct role though.
"Winter is coming" "Ukraine is losing" (they been saying this since day 1 until today) "Wait and see" Pootin fankids are like their master pootin with his 864th nuclear threat
@@thetruth9210 then why are they still fighting. It’s been closer to 3 years. Normal Russians are tired of this. Russia must still be fighting with gloves on then.
@@flyinpug3791 Ukrainians are still fighting because they are stubborn as Russian are. Ukrainians&Russians are the same people and they don't give up. Stupid war for Russians&Ukrainians, profitable war for westerners.
The Ukraine has caused a stir, raised morale, taken prisoners. Even if they now withdraw again, they could inflict heavy losses on the Russian troops again.
@@trevorsutherland5263Yes but the benefits of the Kursk campaign is the Donbas offensive is being slowed by the diversion of forces. Ukraine has broken several defensive lines, drawn away supply/troops, taken more territory than Russia this year, and threaten the destruction of a railway link into Kursk. They Russians are suffering many losses to take small bits of land.
Ukraine now has 720km2 of Russian land, this is more than double the amount of gains that Russia has made in the last year. Total embarassment for the pitiful Russian state
What comes around, goes around. 1) Moldova should take back Transnistria from russia. 2) Georgia should take back their "breakaway" regions from russia. 3) Japan should take back the four southernmost Kuril Islands from russia. 4) Findland should take back their land from russia. 5) Germany should take back Kaliningrad [Königsberg] from russia. Notice the common denominator above? Yes, russia (coRUPsia) Western Media blinders: 1) The Department of State made a determination under the CBW Act that russia has used the chemical weapon chloropicrin against Ukrainian forces in violation of the Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC). Rarely was it mentioned in the news. 2) When Ukraine fights back, "possible escalation" becomes the media's new catch-phrase. 3) When Ukraine does something strategic that they did not tell the media or the U.S., the media is full of...."Why did they do that? Risky gamble? Can they really hold the area?" 4) Western media couldn't report themselves out of a box if they had to........
Finland and Germany don’t want their old lands back. Because they don’t want to have minority Russian populations in their countries. (Ethnic cleansing is illegal, so they won’t do that.)
Simonyan, the editor for RT (also known as every russia simp's favourite source) called for that once already under the idea it'd just send everyone back to 1993 lmao
The most important thing about the Kursk attack is not occupy those territories , it"s more to cause political and psychological effect on the Russian population. They will take significant amount of POW"s and eventually retreat. Even if Ukrainians are kicked out of Russia, the scar will remain. It is similar to what the North Vietnamese did to the US in the 1968 Tet Offensive during the Vietnam war. US civilians were told everything was going well in Vietnam until that offensive changed everything and people began to question the war.
Those who havent been brain washed will know the Ukranians were going for the Kursk Nuclear power plant and have failed.. This is their last dance. Watch and learn
This is PR and will definitely fail, the only solution is to negotiate, the notion that Russia will lose an existential battle is completely delusional
I like his calm comments. But he may be very wrong this time. These incursions will continue well into 2025. They will dig in skillfully and use all the technology they have to make life for the meatwaves very short.
It's a morale victory for Ukraine, it's creating more incentive for western nations to supply Ukraine and with more offensive capabilities at that. While it looks like the tide is shifting in Ukraine's favor, they are simultaneously losing numerous territory in the Donbas. Realistically they won't be able to hold onto Kursk, and the success of this operation will count on how much they can capitalize on this current press momentum and stir a narrative of this war in their favor. Frankly though, it's a war of attrition and has been, since Ukraine refused a surrender agreement in the first initial days. Ukraine with the continued support of the western nations may be able to supply a larger arsenal, considering the production capabilities of their suppliers, but they need to continue, to project a narrative in their favor, so that it looks like they have a fighting chance. Because in a war of attrition, Russia has them completely outnumbered in able bodied troops, and guns, planes, tanks and artillery are only effective if they have crews to run them. That's my analysis of the situation, of course there is much speculation here and I am making assumptions on the objectives and motivations of the involved participants but I have made these conjectures out of the deductive reasoning of the information I have been privy to. I hope that this helps spread light on a narrative contrary to your own.
As a corollary to the theorem, I will add: Whatever it can is not that much. Mario Draghi, when leading the ECB (European Central Bank) and facing a speculative attack to the € once said (in a speech that eventually became famous): "The ECB will do whatever it takes" (to save the €), "and, believe me, it will be enough”. It was enough just to announce that it would have been enough. But Draghi and the ECB had a credibility that Putin and Ruzzia do not have.
The invaded area was minimally defended presumably because Russian forces were fully stretched, with priority given to the diffuse offensive in the Donbas. Thus any redeployment of forces must mean sacrifices elsewhere and the laborious construction of logistical paths and resources. We are seeing the end of Russia’s Donbas offensive. Russia does not have reserves of trained manpower and supplies, a flexible military, or any General Patons. It will be a long time before it can stabilise the Kursk incursion!
Ukraine's allies should capitalize on this and announce more arms now! They have got the Russian peoples attention at last, they should learn not to just shrug their shoulders. They should learn it's not a one way street.
Can someone explain why when Ukraine invade Russia and there are 100,000 people displaced it's an amazing thing? But when and if Russia does it it's a war crime
If the Russian forces gather in the Kursk region, the Ukrainian Forces can scale back and invade another region of Russia, which means that Russia has to defend this area as well. Which means that the Ukraine could keep Putin on his toes all on the very long border of Russia.
Well, Ukraine should declare those taken russian territories as part of Ukraine based on the referendum. 60% of the population on those territories are ethnic Ukrainians.
Like football, the best defense is “ offense “, now Russia has to pull significant numbers of soldiers from other fronts or even from Moscow and that takes time.
Russia is like that guy that tried to beat up a defenseless woman just to find out that the woman was 3 time golden gloves champion man that pretends to be a woman.
MichEl clarke has been wrong about everything. Russia is still makinf advances on the battle field. This will do nothing other that vost Ukraine soliders and in the end less Ukraine
China has no interest in sending troops to fight Ukraine. North Korea, on the other hand, might be prepared to do so, in return for Russian military and economic aid.
No it won't. Russians have been careful, there is no way this attack will accomplish anything. They are still making progress in the east. This will not bait them into being careless
why is russia losing more territory then? Why is ukraine going into belgorod now? Why is russia begging wagner in africa to come home? The end of russia is coming soon!
I asked why Russia is fighting Ukraine to meta and this is what i got..... The conflict between Russia and Ukraine is complex, with deep historical, political, and cultural roots. Here are some key factors: 1. Historical ties: Ukraine was part of the Soviet Union, and after its collapse, Russia felt a loss of influence and control. 2. Ethnic and linguistic divisions: Ukraine has both Ukrainian and Russian-speaking populations, leading to cultural and political differences. 3. Geopolitics: Ukraine's strategic location between Russia and Europe makes it important for trade, energy, and security. 4. NATO expansion: Russia opposes Ukraine's potential membership in NATO, seeing it as a threat to its national security. 5. Crimea annexation: Russia annexed Crimea in 2014, leading to international sanctions and tensions. 6. Eastern Ukraine conflict: Pro-Russian separatists in Donetsk and Luhansk regions received Russian support, leading to ongoing fighting. 7. Ukrainian nationalism: Ukraine's efforts to assert its independence and identity have been perceived as a threat by Russia. 8. Energy interests: Ukraine is a key transit country for Russian natural gas exports to Europe. 9. Political tensions: Political disagreements and power struggles between Ukraine and Russia have contributed to the conflict. These factors have culminated in the current conflict, with Russia's invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. Understanding these complexities is crucial for finding a peaceful resolution.
It's already happening in India under different auspices. Educated Russians with moderate money fled to Europe and Thailand. Indians are seeking western graduate schools for degrees and future work visas to permanently immigrate.
@@weirdo1060we have reservation Kota system for some cast that why other cast people moving towards outside india some cast people not getting seats in university bcoz off reservation in gov university
I think the most important thing for Russia is not to get back Kursk but it to get information at how this went past their intelligence, this war has become more about each person learning from their weaknes and testing weapons capabilities that what Russia sees, I think Russia want those Ukraine soldiers alive to get them to talk
Russia is openly challenging this international, legal infrastructure which Prof. Clarke mentioned when describing the use of chemicals on the battlefield. Russia's resistance and defiance against any moral or ethical obligations will only be incentivized if they come out of this with any territorial gains whatsoever.
Personne ne se demande d’où viennent les soldats ukrainiens engagés sur ce Nouveau front ? Il se dit que beaucoup on apris à parler couramment anglais, polonais, et d’autres langues
So why isn't the help of 54 countries along with hundreds of billions of pounds not defeated russia? Didnt 38 countries also get totally humiliated in Afghanistan after 20 years not too long ago?
@@jamesgreen1116 The west took Afghanistan in just a couple of weeks. Replaced the government, built hospitals, schools, and roads while chasing away Islamic fanatics. The Afghan economy and population grew during this time. In 20 years of occupation the west lost 2,200 servicemen in Afghanistan. When the west finally left, thousands of Afghans were crying at the airport gates, they felt betrayed and abandoned. Turns out the people considered us the good guys all along. Comparing this to what’s happening to the Russians in Ukraine is pure comedy.
The reasons why Ukraine was anle to penetrate Russia terrority ate due to lack of defense systems wherein the west defense system are more superior.,lack of appropriate warfare equipment's and lack of military warctrainings of its soldiers. They recruited soldiers and sent to battle field without seasoning them.
"Russia will do whatever it takes...". What a surprising headline. Did anyone expected the Kremlin would say: "ah, it's only a province... we still have so many other provinces".
Militarily, Russia knows it smarter to keep up the pressure in Donetsk (Ukraine can’t logistically support more than the space it has occupied), so it is dedicating local resources instead of materially repositioning forces from Donbas. Putin must create the political impression that Russia is retaking the space it lost, however, and the consequence of using inexperienced conscripts and second echelon troops is going to be loss of thousands casualties and POW conscripts…the political pressure that will generate will eventually become unbearable to Russia. It is clear Ukraine gamed out all these scenarios before it decided to move forward with the operation.
