Putin says Ukraine's incursion into Kursk is an attempt to stop Russia's eastern offensive
pbs.org
Russian President Vladimir Putin said Monday that the Ukrainian army's incursion into the Kursk region, which has caused more than 100,000 civilians to flee and embarrassed the Kremlin, is an attempt by Kyiv to stop Moscow's offensive in eastern Ukraine's Donbas region and gain leverage in possible future peace talks.
What an insight, he must be a tactical genius.
This is why Putin's SMO is going so smoothly
It's a simple base trade, basic tactics in StarCraft
Of the shortest caliber.
Has he now come full circle and lied so much that he accidentally told the truth?
No shit?
Huh. Maybe you shouldn't have invaded Ukraine then.
So end the "special military operation" and they leave. Win-win.
In Africa, every 60 seconds, a minute passes - Putin
No shit?! Ya think, dummy? It's almost as if that's how war works....
Edited to add: Referring to Putin as a dummy, not the OP.
I feel like that was the point. Also don't let the popaganda veil slip too low now or your citizens will put together the fact that the incursions will stop once you stop occupying Ukraine.
Yes....
Personally?
I don't think Ukraine should stop until it holds Moscow.
Putin's nuclear bluff has been called. He threatened it and threatened it when it wasn't useful, and now he's been invaded, and there have been no nukes.
Ukraine doesn't have the manpower to occupy anything. The smart thing is to go in, fuck shit up as much as possible, then leave again with as many prisoners of war as possible. They barely have enough people to actually defend their own lines, taking Moscow is just a ridiculous proposition (and it would be seen as an existential threat to Russia that would make nuking Kyiv a valid option in Russia's eyes).
I don't think Moscow is a good target. Russia doesn't regard capitals the same way other countries do, it seems, and there's quite a history of foreign making the sane mistake.
Go figure
What, are they involved in a war with Russia or something ?
lol Putin, you silly bitch
Mr Obvious strikes again
This is where you need the old school concept of a Jester to be able to state the obvious to his face without getting offed.
Fucking duuuuh
Putin telling the truth? Honestly slightly shocking
