28 settlements.... so far
The Soon to be Defenestrated Governor of the Kursk Region. He made Pootie mad.
Hope this works from the client I’m using on mobile. It doesn’t support preview, so fingers crossed.
Pootie Tang!
Edit: got it on the second try.
Is this standard for a "special military operations" Vlad?
It's not the "special military operation", it's the "military challenged operation".
Not that kind of special.
I heard they had elections already and they voted to join Ukarine.
Lol, this is a parody of the rushed elections in Ukraine.
150% voted in favour.
Da comrade. Western society is weak. Can only get 100% of the vote. In glorious mother Russia, we vote extra hard.
russia even uses doping to vote. Gotta give 110% to get 120%.
Was he not supposed to be reporting on truth? Is Putin showing discomfort of this?
That's not how they do that over there. You speak what Putin wants to hear, or you don't speak.
That turned out really well for them in the beginning of the war, when Putin was told that they'd win over Ukraine in like a week or so.
Yep.
The Governor of the Kursk region better stay well clear of any open windows…
No balcony! Stay at sea level, no private jets. But no boats, no sea or body of water. Or no mushroom gathering.
Yeah....he should stay away from windows and tea.
That's a good chunk of land Ukraine just annexed.
I think they mean that 28 previouslty occupied settlements in Kursk have been de-Nazified and reincorporated into the Kyivan Rus by their rightful owners.
The people's republic of Kursk?
No, they're a bunch of splitters. It's the Kursk People's Republic.
Pretty sure that video is from the 8th of August? If so, the information presented here is outdated (not that the Russians were credible in the first place). Or has there been a more recent briefing?
This is from today.
Thanks for the clarification!
Nothing good will come of this.
At best this is a risky incursion which the Russian people will forget about in the coming weeks, that's if the Russian propaganda machine hasn't already spun it in their favour.
We seem to forget that making Putin look bad is a fool's errand when we're talking about a country where the state controls the media and where dissenters are either locked away in a remote gulag, or punted off a third-storey window in a way to vaguely look like suicide.
And at worst... this could lead to an escalation...
The closest we've had to a decisive blow against Russia was Prigozhin's revolt.
You're assuming that the goal is to shock Russians. Other possible goals are:
- Force Russia into a "dilemma" where it has to stop the offensive in Donetsk to deal with the attack
- Strike targets deeper in Russia
- Cause economic strain for Russia by capturing/disabling key infrastructure like the Kursk powerplant
- Flank Russian forces in Luhansk
- Capture and hold Russian land to use as a bargaining chip
- Humiliate Putin
Which of these goals are the reasons for this incursion are unknown outside of Ukraine's command structure.
"special police action"
