It weakened the defense on the border and resulted in Kyiv’s #occupation of 93 settlements in #Russia.

#Putin ’s muted reaction to the invasion of #Kursk , however, raises questions about what red lines the Russian leader really has—and whether Western hesitation to arm #Ukraine , a result of concerns about Russian escalation, was a strategic mistake.

Saturday night #Zelensky said #Ukraine was pushing the war onto "the aggressor's territory"

Russia says 76,000 people have been evacuated from border areas in the #Kursk region

This is the deepest raid into the country since #Moscow began its full-scale invasion of Ukraine

Here's what we're reading today:

The #UK disallowed the use of Storm Shadow missiles in the #Kursk incursion.

#Ukraine could use them to hit airfields and logistic hubs used by #Russia to fight back.

Around 1,000 square km of Russian territory is already under Kyiv’s control.

By the way, #Putin announced the opening of the Army-2024 military-technical forum yesterday.

At this time, #Russian conscripts are being taken prisoner by the hundreds.

I wonder why the forum is not being held in #Kursk?

Update:
According to (conflicting) news sources #Aure reports that there could be as many as 10k #Ukrainian troops in the #Kursk region.
Wow.

After #Prigoshin's #Wagner mercenaries almost had a "home run" to #Moscow last year, #Russian defense, and in particular moral, seem very much lacking...


#WarInUkraine #Kursk

I wonder what the real impact on (some) EU countries would be, if this means for boycott exemptions were finally destroyed...
Far too many riches still keep flowing to Moscow as payment for #FossilFuels, thus the #EU is still partly financing #Putler's imperialist aggression on its declared "brothers" in #Ukraine.

#WarInUkraine

I heard that only about 2,000 #Ukrainian soldiers are in the #Kursk region. This means 2.78 square kilometers per soldier to "hold" on average.

Sounds pretty thinly stretched to me.

OFC, the troops will be concentrated in convoys, but even so, how much longer can this admirable diversion continue.

More importantly, how quickly can the invading forces retreat to #Ukraine once the #Kremlin has redeployed enough troops to the region to repell this brazen attack?


Two Kursk grandmothers stop and talk to Ukrainian soldiers.

The majority of Kursk residents speak Ukrainian, not Russian.

This MAY be why so many Russians are surrendering to Ukrainians without a fight.

Since the start of the operation in the #Kursk region, #Ukrainian troops moved up to 35 km from the international border, #Russian milbloggers claimed, ISW says.

The #US officials noted that the incursion is not a violation of the US restrictions on Ukraine`s striking ability.

Väldigt glada nyheter, genialiskt av Ukraina att anfalla och ockupera ryskt territorium om de skulle bli "tvingade" att förhandla i närtid.
