What do you think about the situation in Kursk?

I worry about remaining civilians in Kursk region used as human shields by desperate ukrainian soldiers. They tend to kill them when leaving an area for good. This makes the Russian soldiers jobs so much more difficult, I do not envy the position they are forced into. Yet I know all the Russian Forces care about the lives of all civilians, Russian and ukrainian and try their best to avoid casualties.

I just got an e-mail asking for a donation from the website www.plnewstoday.com , (@ 3:35PM PDT) with the Subject Title "Kursk Emergency I Need Your Help Act Now"......... This looks like a Phishing attempt, because with website the e-mail was sent from shows the domain had recently been registered with Namecheap and is for sale.

Patrick, thank you 🤘

I don't think I'd be the only one, but an interview with some of the guys from Operation Flow would be amazing. General Apti Aluadinov is surely favourable to an interview from yourself 😉

I think the brief stop in intell sharing from the US made them fold quicker in Kursk.

There was no actual stop in Intel sharing. They just said they did it for media spin. Come on, it was all while Kursk was getting opened up like a sardine can rapidly. Let's say there's no Intel and Russia rook advantage of it. Bad Russia man

I agree that Russia had the advantage. But American Intelligence agencies is 2nd to none. Even Russia media reported that Ukrainian forces were acting unorganized after the brief stop.

The only way any fighting can stop is if America stops helping Ukraine NOW, otherwise the Russian juggernaut Will continue!

A ceasefire obviously benefits the losing side more than the winning side. If I were a Russian I’d want Putin to wait until the Ukrainian forces were expelled from Kursk before agreeing to ceasefire.

You're optimistic.

I don't think Russia has any good reason to accept any ceasefire when the Nazi West keep changing their minds and playing the good and bad cop roles between Nazi USA and Nazi EU Commission and Council every day/week...

I think Russian didn't forget Merkel admitting they organized a fake Minsk 2 to take time to arm Ukraine...

trump still thinks he's going to get $500 billion usd in rare earths and other minerals, shown in a very recent report which kiev has come up which includes a geological study they supposedly did recently showing the $500B in available goodies to mine. No one else in the worldwide mining industry seems to agree with kiev. Suspicious that this report comes out as kiev is desperate for military aid and zelensky immediately thinks off selling the rights off. But only a fool would take that kiev study seriously. As I've said before, this is just Minsk 3.

Since the conditions Putin still requires Zekensky/The West(™) to meet would cause the Azovs (et alia) to hang Zelensky? Effectively, Putin is not going for a cease fire.
