No, their leaders suck ass. And a lot of their countrymen are brainwashed.

OK? why should that be my problem. If they are braindead zombies, I don't care. If they shoot at me I will shoot back. I will kill them.

As you should. Russia has a long colorful history and tradition. Putin is a murderer and he's using his countrymen as cannon fodder. But I still don't think Russia sucks totally.

I wouldn't rule it out. A few weeks ago no one expected this either.

A Ukrainian march on Moscow is unlikely but far more likely now than it was a few weeks ago.



I truly hope they don't this with ground soldiers.

Well, if he actually said this, he is coo-coo. Given the circumstances.

Is Ukraine trying to "Hold" Kursk? Or are they minimizing consolidation in order to deny use of the area to Russia while preserving mobility and expanding the areas Russia will find too risky for operation?

My two cents.  The 'success' of recent Russian advances (albeit slow and costly) have resulted in the destruction of entire Ukrainian cities.  Vovchansk, Avdiivka, Bakhmut, Mar'inka - all have been completely destroyed and emptied of their Ukrainian populations.  Russia simply wipes out any structure of civility, taking 'ethnic cleansing' to a new level.  Except now, for Russia to do that, they will be wiping out Russian cities instead of Ukrainian ones. 

I believe the atrocities the Russians perpetrated on Vovchansk is what prompted this new strategy.  With Kharkiv next in line, Ukraine decided to create a buffer of Russian cities that Putin may be hesitant to flatten.


Russian-occupied Mar'inka

I can vouch for that.  I never see @240B at any of the soy-boy meetings.

One of Ukraine's main goals in invading Russia appears to be working

Tom Porter  •  9h


Russia is pulling troops from its invasion force in Ukraine to help defend against Kyiv's audacious attack on Russian territory, according to reports.

Ukraine's invasion of the province of Kursk last week took Russia by surprise. Its troops are now believed to be in control of around 28 Russian towns and villages and about 300 square miles of territory.

Analysts told Business Insider that one of Ukraine's core aims in the operation is to divert Russian troops from the front line in Ukraine.
According to a Ukrainian official, there is evidence it's happening.

"Russia has relocated some of its units from both Zaporizhzhia and Kherson regions of Ukraine's south," Dmytro Lykhoviy, a Ukrainian army spokesman, told POLITICO Tuesday.

Lykhoviy said that the number of Russian troops being diverted is "relatively small," but there's evidence that Russia's moving troops from other parts of Ukraine as well, with no sign of Ukraine's attack in Kursk easing off.

The Institute for the Study of War (ISW), a US think tank, said Tuesday that according to Russian military bloggers, Russia has yet to stabilize the situation in Kursk a week into the attack and Ukrainian units are continuing to make advances.

On Wednesday, Ukraine's general staff said his soldiers had shot down a $36 million Russian Su-34 bomber jet "during a combat mission" in the Kursk region.

It's the first time since World War II a foreign military has occupied Russian territory.

The ISW cited Russian sources saying that some Russian irregular units had also been pulled from Donetsk in east Ukraine, which has been the scene of intense fighting and where Russia has made incremental gains.

It said that Russia could be diverting troops from units in Donetsk intended to relieve or reinforce front-line units.  .  .

Two More Ukrainian Air Assault Brigades Have Joined The Invasion Of Russia

David Axe  |  Aug 14, 2024  |  04:31pm EDT


As Ukraine’s invasion of Russia’s Kursk Oblast barrels into its eighth day, elements of two more Ukrainian air assault brigades—the 82nd and 95th—have joined the fray.

Troopers from the 95th Air Assault Brigade were photographed on their way to the battle zone. Tragically, Russian forces confirmed the presence of the 82nd Air Assault Brigade when they ambushed and killed some of the unit’s troops on the outer edge of the chaotic fight in Kursk.

With the air assault reinforcements, the Ukrainian invasion corps now includes some or all of six front-line brigades plus two independent battalions and supporting drone, artillery, reconnaissance and special forces units. Possibly close to 15,000 troops in all.

The extra troops could prolong Ukrainian advances into Kursk Oblast even as more Russian troops reach the front. But it’s worth noting that many of the brigades and battalions Ukrainian commanders are sending into the 400-square-mile Kursk salient are coming from other sectors of Russia’s 29-month wider war on Ukraine—including some of the most active sectors.

That Ukrainian commanders are willing to weaken their defenses in places such as the eastern towns of Pokrovsk, Toretsk and Chasiv Yar in order to strengthen their attacks in Kursk speaks to their priorities—and their appetite for risk.  .  .  .

Parents spoke about the upcoming transfer of conscripts to the Kursk region immediately after the oath

Yesterday


The conscripts of the 80th Motorized Rifle Division, who took the oath on August 3, are being prepared for transfer from the Murmansk region to the Kursk region, where hostilities have been going on since August 6. Their relatives began to spread calls on social networks demanding not to send their children to the border. This was reported to the Agency by several mothers of conscripts at once.

Details. Parents publish posts on their accounts demanding not to send their children to the Kursk region. They report that the conscripts entered the service only on July 6-7, on August 3 they took the oath - then they were informed about the sending. "Now the military unit is preparing conscripts for a trip on a business trip to the Kursk region. Kursk battalions were created. This information was confirmed to us by the command at the oath on August 3. There are hostilities in the Kursk region and there is a threat to the lives of our sons. The command does not adhere to Vladimir Putin's statement of June 13, 2023 - not to send soldiers undergoing military service to the combat zone," the message says.  .  .

Ukrainian Ombudsman Dmytro Lubinets held talks with Russian Commissioner for Human Rights Tatyana Moskalkova on the exchange of prisoners.

The conversation was initiated by the Russian side, Lubinets said on the air of the telethon, Gazeta.ua reports.

"I hope that, despite the public statements of the Russian media that the Russians allegedly decided to suspend some exchanges, we now have an exchange of information. I also inform the ICRC and the UN that the rights of Russian prisoners of war are protected  .  .  .
