Although more information surfaced yesterday about events in the Kursk Zone, today's situation remains obscured by the "fog of war." Most Russian channels have shifted their focus to reports of reinforcements either en route or having already decimated advancing Ukrainian forces.…

There's no better ally than an idiot enemy

A Russian TV channel presenter literally showed live the exact location of the movement of Russian convoys of equipment and personnel into the Kursk region.

Russia is turning the internet censorship screws further. Yesterday reports suggest YouTube, a key information channel, had been blocked. Now Signal, a confidential messenger service, reportedly being blocked too. https://t.co/khSFPgqQhz

Between the Prigozhin mutiny and Kursk, the Kremlin has now faced two major challenges to its narrative of “stability and peace” in Russia within slightly over a year. Even in the 90s Russia had not been invaded. Tell me again how Putin has made Russia stronger. He is a failure.

One of the arguments used by Russian propaganda during the occupation of Crimea was that the local population didn’t resist the invasion. Following that same logic, it seems that Kursk has been waiting for years to join Ukraine.

This raid has been a success even if Ukraine is pushed back out providing they can do an orderly retreat, the amount of captured Russians is quite insane, the destroyed convoys, the embarrassment and morale blow, the amount of abandoned, captured and destroyed equipment. It looks like Russia was caught completely off-guard and Ukraine has inflicted a lot of damage.

Lift the restrictions and allow them to do more before having to retreat.

Where are the peace lovers now? Where are the people saying "Russia should surrender Kursk for peace" that's how this works right?

If only Wagner weren't fucking cucks after their leaders were blown out the skies, if only Wagner wasn't a pathetic organisation and decided now would be a great time to have another go at Putin to get revenge for Prigozhin and Utkin but nah, they represent nothing except money.

This incursion makes it clear that the whole argument about NATO expansion was absolute nonsense—if NATO was to invade Russia, it would cut through like a knife through butter. It never happened when Russia declared war on Ukraine (the West & NATO).
