Ukraine is fighting for its own survival and Russia is definitely gonna learn in the hard way because Ukrainians are warriors and they don't joke when it comes to fighting an enemy. You can as well comfirm these fact from their boxing champ. Slava Ukraine 🇺🇦 💪🏽💪🏽
Putin doesn't care about anything except his legacy, he thought this would be a feather in his cap, something good on his Resume, it isn't working out that way tho
@@Sulikowsky when the wall fell we had hope for Russia and thought of them as brothers and sisters finally getting to join the free world. Putin ruined the country with his belligerence and rhetoric. What a shame
We probably shouldn't say that this is an invasion of Russia, because these territories once belonged to Ukraine and the locals still understand and even speak Ukrainian. Plus, until they hold a referendum, we don't know whether Kursk and Belgorod regions want to remain part of Russia. How can you hold a referendum during a military occupation, you ask? Well, ask Putin, he'll tell you.
Ukraine pushing out the Russian civilian population in a mass cattle drive has profound effects on the Russian psychology and Putin’s regime. It’s to their advantage to continue the cattle drive.
Even more than that, it means that now Russia will need to put considerably more effort into defending *all* of their borders. If Russia cannot increase the size of their army, this means they will need to relocate troops from the active lines.
nobody that has any appreciation of history thinks this is rational. you kids need to stick to movies. you dont have any idea what the real world is like. none whatsoever.
@@stevereal- look at what your own people are telling you about it: that its a 'morale boost' (lol) and that its been captured as a 'bargaining chip.' this is the battle of the bulge 2.0 and human nature is to lie when things go wrong. and go wrong they have for ukraine for almost 3 years.
Especially so close to Moscow where Kursk is like Reston, VA is close to D.C. Now Russians confirm what they all suspect. But they say NOTHING. Russians ARE COMPLICIT.
well its been a while since the media had the spotlight on him, i guess he is trying to hide and is feeling great thinking we have forgotten about him. But once the war is over, Mr Belarus president will find that no one have forgotten about his part in the war.
Another take on this, their border with NATO is much longer than the one with Ukraine. Russia has lost their objectives. They are more vulnerable than ever.
The propagandists seem to be out of sync, don't they? They're still talking about fighting NATO. Kind of hard to do when you can't defend your own border. There is a lot of talk right now. And very little action.
Ukraine should keep it till Russia get out of Ukraine and compensate Ukraine...you break if you pay it...Russia got high on their own supply...they believed their own propaganda
"Ukraine doesn't have the manpower to hold on to these gains." Well, that doesn't really matter if Russia doesn't have the manpower to defend it. And so far, they don't.
Good thing about this strategy is that the Russian Territory is not mined. The Russian will never mine any part of its Territory. It's easier to get into Russia than into the Donbas. So Ukraine go on . Go and get Russia.
This is nothing more or less than mad desperation. 3 more Ukrainian lines collapsed in a 36hr period yesterday, because they simply don't have the men or materiel to hold territory. Russia is advancing kilometers per day along the entire front, meanwhile Ukraine is devoting a substantial force of their best trained, most experienced and best equipped troops on... this. If you zoom out a map to show all of Russian the significant Russian advances, you literally cant even see the Northern incursion. The notion that Russia is under any kind of threat from a few hundred soldiers touring the highways taking selfies and keying their radios, is an absurdity. The end result is going to be Ukrainian prisoners, as Russia has been methodically establishing a containment perimeter, while evacuating an exclusion zone. When they're confident the perimeter is secure, they're going to collapse it at the speed of a glacier, until they have all the Ukrainian forces cutoff and trapped, exactly as they've done everywhere else. Then itll all be swept under the rug and forgotten, just like everywhere else.
@@skyhunter996 haven't you downloaded the latest updates of the geneva convention? It's changed. I double-checked. Everything's gonna be alright. Leave it to us.
I have a high admiring for the Ukrainians fighting back. I know losses are high but the Russian people voted for putin which means whatever putin says is law.
Seems like the official kremline line for containing the gravity of this situation , is to instruct their keyboard-monkeys to divert attention at how the reporter speaks 🥵😂
Thanks to France24's international affairs editor for being way more correct than Deutsche Welle on Russian Ukrainian war and the Ukrainian capture of Kursk Oblast.
I agree and have a lot of the same questions as Ms. Gorjestani. The biggest surprise to me is how undefended the Russian border is. But one question few ask, what message does this send to China who has eyed Russian territory with the same argument as Russia did with Ukraine? (Russia claimed a sovereign right because of history and cultural ties to Ukraine, and other incursions like Georgia.)
I hope Ukraine will give back that territory soon even if Russia rejects ceasefire, before people in the world forget Russia attacked first and label Ukraine as an aggressor just like what they did with Israel
She suggests Ukraine can't hold the territory in Kurst. I disagree. Most of the seized territory is right near the Ukraine border, right where Ukraine had to guard anyway. Additionally, there are huge sections of the border with nothing going on. UKRAINE once had to fight along the entire eastern and southern areas all at once. Now, the south is mostly inactive, and only about half of the east is, so UKRAINE has lots of troops available, despite the poor poor pitiful me narrative the media portrays. IF UKRAINE didn't have lots of sources available, you think they would risk theb of thousands of them in the Northerns oblasts???
You pundits seem blissfully unaware that Russia's assets are tied up in Ukraine. It's not like Russia has more men and materiel to spare. If Russia had more to work with they'd be in Kyiv by now.
Ukraine should drop pamphlet in the cities, to avoid the killing of the russian people. Remember, not all of them are in favor of this war! Some even protested the war and were arrested.
