Time to throw a little referendum and make Kursk part of Ukraine
Well it was part of the Kiev Governorate in the early 1700s, it's historical Ukrainian land
Plus, I hear there are Nazis there. We need to protect the Russians from those Nazis.
Russia kidnapped a ton of Ukrainian children and distributed them throughout Russia. So Ukraine needs to occupy that territory to protect the Ukrainians living there, clearly.
I hope it pays off for them
Do I smell a territory swap coming?
I'm guessing the strategy is diversion, unless they have specific targets they're going after. Maybe both.
Better get ready to exercise the "Sherman Doctrine" because the Russians are going to try to cut off the supply lines as quickly as possible.
One dude over at NCD said that the target may have been a major oil nd gas distribution hub near the border, which supplies Hungary, Slovakia and eve Turkey to some degree. If the Russians try to recapture it using their usual tactics, they bomb their own critical infrastructure, if they don't, they look weak, and it's a very useful bargaining chip for peace.
I have a feeling that the talking heads calling for an immediate peace along the frontline will stop doing that once Russia also would need to cede territory.
