My friends, the situation is really fucked up…
The Kursk offensive that was supposed to humiliate Vladimir Putin has like not moved for several days. Russia is in no hurry to throw the Ukrainians out of Kursk. Instead what they are doing is they are using drones to locate Ukrainian gear and then destroy it with the help of Iskander, Tornado or TOS. Ukraine has lost dozens of vehicles in Kursk and all the way in Sumy region of Ukraine. The intention was to draw Russian troops from the Donbas front, and thus improving the situation there.
On the Donbas front, the Russians are advancing towards Pokrovsk. Pokrovsk is on the crossroads and is essential for Ukrainian logistics in the Donbas. Once they take hold of the town, it is over for Ukraine in the Donetsk region. Zelensky said they will defend Pokrovsk teeth and nail, they will turn it into another Bakhmut or Avdeevka. But the problem is Ukraine sent its best troops to Kursk. The latter can’t leave Kursk because it would not look good in the papers, NAFO dogs would have nothing to cheer on.
Absolute shitshow under the direction of clown, Zelensky. On top of this, Russia has been targeting the electrical grid of Ukraine. Modern civilization is absolutely dependent on the electrical current. Without it, food rots in the fridges. Speaking of food, there isn’t enough workforce to stack the shelves in the shops. Everybody has fled or is hiding from recruiters. Ironically, this reduction of available hands has resulted in increase of wages. Something tells me it is soon going to be over for Ukraine but since Russia takes things slow, the agony of Ukraine will last until 2026.
Bloomberg: Around 400k Ukrainians are going to leave because of shortages of electricity.

What can we learn from Frodo’s latest offensive? In the midst of war when the enemy is on offense, it’s probably not a great idea to go on offense yourself just because they have a crevice along the border that wasn’t mined.
Well, Zelensky probably think he’s clever and cunning by making such move against Putin, but from the looks of things in Donbas, it seems to me that Zelensky has deliberately did what Putin had hoped for: to prevent some of the most dangerous units within Ukrainian military from reaching Donbas front. The real definition of a fool is a fool who think he’s being clever, unexpectable and original, when he doesn’t even know he’s walking into a trap. Like seriously, how stupid can he be? He should stick to being a comedian from the get-go. If it was that Zaluzhny guy in charge of Ukraine instead of this clown, then Putin may have a bit more trouble.

Russia actually already drew some forces from Donbas with its Kharkov intervention in May, and Ukraine has helped this with their incursion into Kursk. The Kursk offensive is a PR stunt. They hope to humiliate Putler, it is all about humiliating Putler. They hope to show the West how good they are at killing Russians and get more weapons.

Or perhaps limiting Russian weapon buyers. They’re trying to show how Russian military technology can be defeated by lowly Ukraine. However, it seems to have backfired.

Ukraine likes showing off these tactical peremohas. Kherson for instance cost them tremendous amounts of resources to drive the Russians out and in the end hasn’t achieved shit. But to the Western supporters of Ukraine this gives propaganda ammo. Now they can say that Ukraine can defeat Russia if only we give them more gear. This is how the grift works. You have to make people believe in Ukrainian victory, then you organize financing and weapons delivery and pocket the money.

The name of the game if you are the weaker defender is to hide behind fortifications and try to inflict maximum damage on the enemy. The issue is, Ukrainian corruption prevented building these fortifications for instance in Kharkov. And somehow they have gone on the offense with disastrous results. In Krynki, in Zaporozhye and now in Kursk. They might have been emboldened by initial successes in Kiev, Kherson, and Kharkov but there the situation was slightly different. Russia did not have enough forces and fortifications. Granted Kursk was also poorly defended but did they expect to conquer the vastness of Russia? I thought the goal was to recover Ukrainian territory?

All I know is that Zelensky and Syrsky are probably some of the most laughable military commanders in the history of mankind. Zelensky needs to understand that this is not one of his comedy show. A lot of his stuffs are about showmanship, but this is not what it takes to win the war.

Honestly, Ukraine should have taken a completely different strategy. They actually had plenty of advantages but they blew them on stupid peremoha chasing.
