Kursk Offensive, What the Fuck Was It?

My last post on Kursk is kinda slow loading now, so I decided to write another…

I have been around this space for a long time, and I know exactly what is happening in Kursk. Ukraine is peremoha chasing. Probably thanks to Western intelligence, the Ukrainians discovered that the Kursk region is lightly protected, and this provides an opportunity to strike hard and win some cheering from Western supporters of Ukraine. But peremoha is always followed by zrada. (For these concepts see the glossary).

So the Ukrainians packed a punch and struck, and were able to occupy some territory. But one only wonders what was the objective of this raid? Without a clear objective, they will shit themselves. They either need to expand and gain more territory to maintain the peremoha. But do you people understand that gaining territory is actually dragging your ass down. Logistics get harder the further you move away from your home turf. This is what baffles me, what did the Ukrainians want to achieve.

In my opinion, the Ukrainians have limited resources and as the weaker side should go on the defense. As defenders they could inflict maximum damage on the Russians. If they go on the offensive, even in a place the Russians have a light defense, they will inevitably encounter Russian forces that will fuck them up. So, I would understand if they raided Kursk took POWs, and got out of there with the least losses. Like this, Russia will kill them all!

I read that the Ukrs wanted to prevent reinforcements to Russian forces in the Donbas. But if that is so, does capturing 100 POWs does halt Russian reinforcements. Also, Ukraine wants to stop Russia from cross border attacks but they might achieve the opposite with this offensive. This offensive overall seems like a desperate move. And justifications given for it seem like typical politics.

UPD: Commenter Andrey sent me this video of Ukrops claiming they seized the Kursk Nuclear Power Plant and redirected the electricity towards Ukraine.

It is said that the aim of the Kursk offensive was the NPP. But they failed!

The majority of Ukrainians think that one ought to fight until full victory (peremoha); that is winning back the territory of Ukraine; 1991 borders, and ascending to NATO and the EU.

Somebody should explain to the Ukrainians that no EU membership is awaiting them even if they win back all their territories.
