Kursk incursion: How significant is Ukraine’s advance into Russian territory?

Kursk incursion: How significant is Ukraine's advance into Russian territory?
Spread The Viralist



Ukraine’s incursion into Russia is “big” and represents much more than just a raid, our security and defence analyst Professor Michael Clarke says.

Fighting has continued in the Kursk region of Russia for a fourth day after Ukrainian forces smashed through the border earlier this week.

There is much that remains unclear and Ukraine remains tight-lipped about what is happening – and what its broader goal for the operation is.

  1. What the Russians seem to forget when they beat their chest and claim to have defeated the Germans in WWII, is that they were ONLY fighting the Germans, the rest of the allies were fighting in Germany, Italy, France, Norway, Greece, and other places, and the Japanese in the Pacific.
    True they put up a big show that shortened the war, they also couldn’t have done it without the convoys that cost a lot of allied sailor’s lives.
    BUT they DIDN’T win the war on their own.
    Another thing they should consider is when it was the impressive army of the USSR (we thought anyway at that time), Ukraine was a part of that USSR, so also maybe the Ukrainian part of that army was the strength of it, just saying!

  2. Yet another massive Ukrainian military catastrophe is in the making. According to third party sources they have lost around 30% of their heavy equipment and the 80th 82nd brigades have been decimated and withdrawn leaving a large swathe of unsupported infantry. The Ukrainians are having to commit ever more forces to the Kursk area with the result that the 600 mile front is collapsing even faster than it was. This is a NATO-led operation using their "advisors" weapons, intelligence and surveillance that will see Ukraine obiliterated.

  3. Getting invaded by the country your invading. Embarrassing …For Putin. 😳

    For the rest of the world = *Hilarious*….😂🤣😂🤣

  4. Zelensky sent his men to this suicide mission, hoping to trigger the wrath of Putin, and get Putin to punish nato. Zelensky wants double-faced nato to go down in defeat as Ukraine surely will.

  5. Nonsense.. 1000 to 10000 soldiers… with no supply line to talk about… this is stupid news…
    Ww2 the germans send millions… and they still lost the war.. its just a suicide mission.. the dictator zelensky is a clown…hoping to negotiate land swap with russia.. lol

  6. I think the word "incursion" here wrong. It is a term that is legally criminal in meaning. This will only benefit the criminal Russia in a court of law (ICJ). Please use some other words befitting the ongoing manner of affairs. terms ike COUNTER CROSS COUNTRY ATTACK or REBUTTAL WAR OFFENSIVE or INTER,- INVASION or REBUTTAL INVASION….etc may be used instead of INCURSION. For Ukraine is a victim of WAR BULLYING.

  7. Hahahaha, nothing but a stunt with midiatic purpose to deviate attention from the calamitous situation all over the front…
    Will end as a FIASCO just like that joke of a counteroffensive!

  8. Are those people crazy or what it's really happening it s a NATO invasion of Russian territory . what plan of peace those person are promoting in every corner of the world ??

  9. В России после аннексии Крыма в 2014 году был принят закон, согласно которому за неправильную трактовку истории может грозить до пяти лет лишения свободы. Историю интерпретируют только г-н Путин и его кабинет.

  10. Does this indicate that the situation in other fronts have turned more to Ukraine's favor and control, thus affording them channeling resources to Kursk?

  11. There are three dangerous things about what’s going on… 

    First, Putin’s already laid the ground work for a possible “Nuclear Test”; If Russia launched the attack on their own lands, he now has it in his back pocket to be spun as a “Nuclear Test”.

    Second, I believe the Ukrainians are trying to pull Russian forces north, so they can swoop in and reclaim their natural boarder in the south.

    Third, I think the ultimate Ukrainian plan might be: to trade the captured land for sort of peace agreement, and Putin; so he can face war crimes.

    I think the next few weeks will most likely change the world; I’m not sure if that will be in a good or bad way, but it will most likely be a big change, one way or another.

  12. Are they going to offer to swap it for land in the Dombas, like the Russians did with kidnapping journalists and swapping them for spies. They obviously don’t want to permanently occupy the land in Russia so this would seem to me to be a good option

  13. El troyano de otan y traidor a su origen de zelenski tiene en sus manos la sangre de todos quienes han fallecido por esta operación de cercar a Rusia. Sordida conciencia la de este titere desalmado.

  14. I love these comments. "It's not an incursion. It's a Special military operation!" Haha. The internet if anything is a collective of humorous trolls and pin point comedians! Keep it up! I laugh every time! And good luck to Ukraine! I hope they accomplish their tasks!

  15. I'm not sure if the Russian's are worried about it. The invading army will be easier to defeat, so why not let more cross over and go deeper. What have they captured or what strategic advantage have they gained? I believe none.

  16. What is Ukraine going to do ? Fight towards Moscow lol. They have no men left so they send lads into there by thinking the are invading Russia lol. Us Westerns need to pull out of this war.
