It’s like as if Mexican troops suddenly surged into Texas, racing through towns and counties, and bloggers are shouting “The US is in serious trouble,” and “this could be a strategic defeat for America”. Nothing happening here suggests that a bridgehead can be established and supplied. To hold territory of this size would require significantly more manpower and materiel than Ukraine appears to possess. Even the Germans managed to muster multiple mechanized divisions when they launched the counter offensive in the fall of 1944, and they did indeed seize significant territory, but ultimately they were crushed by superior allied firepower. I do expect some heads to roll in Russia, politically speaking, but militarily it is a gift.
@horizonyvent5466
Russia is such a huge country and so sparsely populated. It’s tempting to walk in without knocking and think you’re at home.
@Floodland1972
Anyone who has ever served and participated in any war knows that this is prelude for disaster.There are people dying and retreating all over Donbas line and someone decided to send few thousand people to Kursk oblast. It goes to show how much the ruling class of Ukraine cares about its own people.This is not gonna end up well for Ukrainians.
@user-zt1pq7hq6y
Don’t forget the same strategy was used by the Germans in 1943 in the same area to draw Russians away for Donetsk…but failed badly.

>no air supremacy
>smaller armed forces
>less artillery both locally and broadly
>losing their own land on multiple fronts
>no reliable supply line into area
>rapid unsustainable advance against a weak border guard
>already stopped within a day due to reinforcements arriving
Was the plan here to capture Russian land as a negotiating token? They can’t hold their own, do they somehow expect to hold this?

Just want to say you have the best Ukrainian war coverage on the planet. Shame on the so called American “media” and the one-sided coverage they have given this war. You call it like you see it, and don’t hesitate to report on a story like this where Ukraine has a big win, but at the same time you also have shown everyone that Ukraine has been losing ground overall for a long time now (something you would NEVER hear in American media). You report the facts, and facts are not biased. Appreciate your work.
@clivewakley3901
Let’s get real dudes – if the Uki force in Kursk province posed a serious threat to the Kursk nuclear facility then the Russians would nuke them with tactical nuclear weapons. The idea that the Russians would allow this nuclear facility to be threatened is plum crazy talk guys.
@LongDongSilver-u8n
This Ukrainian push reminds me of the last ever German push on the Western front, it too ended in disaster!
@anon4kag
Taking mostly undefended territory is the easy part, in the beginning.
Keeping it, from a far superior force, is the real test.
All I see is a bunch of fish who jumped into a barrel.
@tarmux7321
The recent Ukrainian attacks on Russian territory are poorly planned and extremely reckless. This ill-conceived move is jeopardizing Ukrainian forces, who lack the manpower to sustain such operations. It’s a dangerously misguided action that could have severe consequences for Ukraine.
@dacorum8053
So how many armoured vehicles and tanks have ukraine lost so far and have their losses been replaced? With each day of the offensive Ukraine’s losses increase and the supply lines for ammo and fuel become more stretched which has to be a very serious problem as Russia has air superiority. I am genuinely surprised at how far the ukrainian forces have advanced but I cannot help thinking that they have fallen into a trap of their own making when they have no air support and stretched lines for
@1o1s1s1i1e
My money is on the Russian troops despite the very rough fighting, they are on the right side of history! Great reporting as always Dima and team, thank you!
@Didmasela
How the hell does Zelensky think Ukraine will defeat and drive the Russian army completely away as this is a 600 km long Ruusian line of defence and offence.
@aceroprivat
The russians knew about this attack … The russians wanted the ucranians to attack …. as long the russians can hold key positions the offensive will fail … remember the following The battle of bulge got lost for the germans as the americans hold Bastogne. This gave the Allies time enough to get an overview of the enemies forces and react accordingly.
@aceroprivat
The question is not how long time the russians will need to restore control of this territory … the question is how many losses tooked the Ucranians in this battle of the bulge.
@rougeonerougeone4146
This is the real explanation why is it so important for Russia that Ukraine doesnt become the part of NATO. It prooves how easy it is to move to Russia from Ukraine. This looks like a joke attack and it will be repelled, but imagine that it was full NATO force that potentialy could exist some day.
@off6848
They look to be losing hundreds of vehicles in this. Even if NATO sent them a couple thousand on the down low this whole effort has probably lost 1/4 of what they have.
@wuffothewonderdog
There are six NATO pilots flying the six F16 planes now seen in the sky above Ukraine at the moment.
There are two from Poland, two are Dutch and two are French, including one named Piquand from the French Navy.
@smithjones4346
Finally, they have found “The Lost Legion” of Roman fame! They were in Ukraine all this time. Why did they ultimately decide to attack? They must have run out of Zelensky gay porn, no doubt!
