“As of today, 28 settlements are under enemy control, the depth of penetration into the territory of the Kursk region is 12 kilometers, and the front’s width is 40 kilometers” - Kursk region acting governor told Putin. Putin interrupted him and said not to mention numbers.
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.

Lmao are you even paying attention? The whole point is to keep Russia on the offensive. They took Russian land and dug in.
Now Russia has to get them off their land or look like even more of a fucking idiot

Well damn, maybe Russia should stop invading a sovereign nation and commiting genocide. That would stop the war instantly, I’m sure going back to the 2012 borders would suit Ukraine just fine.
Neither russia or the west seem to have any interested in ending this war as politicians and rulers are making big profits and gaining wealth and power.
One option is for Russia to end its invasion.
The other is for Ukraine to cease to exist as a country as Russia continues for the 3rd 4th 5th time to continue taking land despite any existing treaty or ceasefire agreement
One of these is a reasonable request, the other one is not.
Russia can continue to punch itself in the face until it sees reason. We do not expect Ukraine to sacrifice itself to Putin’s non-existent mercy.
There are other options that would help this war to end such as the west stopping doing business with china who is refueling russia in this war or with turkey who is helping russia dodging the sanctions. Guess what? they don’t give a shit, politicians and rulers are benefiting from this war, they send peasants to die in the front, they don’t fight their wars. The west has been trading weapons with russia before the conflict the same way they are doing it now with saudi arabia or egypt.
Chinese arms companies and banks involved in military aid are subject sanctions. That’s why China is mainly limited to supplying dual-use equipment but even that’s being reigned in. But nothing is going to stop Russia from going through 2 or 3 shell companies to get what they need, it’ll at least cost them more.
But sure let’s double down and go off and completely crater US/China trade by trillions in hopes it’ll vaguely impact Russia instead of just directly supplying Ukraine the weapons/aid they need until Russia is ready to stop invading them.

Nah he is just this stupid, I guess.

Smoke from Запорізька АЕС (Запорожская АЭС) (not запорижжия or whatever) is questionable for the black smoke we’d seen is pretty weird for that kind of facility.
What can end this war in your opinion? As it seems, if Ukraine give up, after a period of violence and filtration against locals, it won’t stop Russia from planning another SMO on Kazakhstan, Georgia, Lithuania, Moldavia or other countries state officials officially threatened. If Russia give up in this war and stop this bullshit there wouldn’t be any conflict and it’s own standards of living would slowly return to pre-Crimean levels.
added Ukrainian naming as the first one because for some reason I thought it’s in contested russian territories, because, well, why our news scream about it that much?
What can end this war in your opinion?
Not fueling it is a good way to go toward an end. Politicians and rulers are benefiting from this war, they don’t fight their wars they send others to die while they drink champagne.

The cold war never officially end
Yeah, okay, but that means China, Iran and NK would keep pumping Russia up with weapons to keep obliterating Ukraine. One-sided cutting of supply wouldn’t work now or in the future.
No one officially said it even started, lol. There wasn’t a note to proclaim it from either side. Yet, you can notice it wasn’t like in the 50s when in the 90s and 00s the relationships between countries got warmer.
The west is doing business with china perfectly fine even as even you are aware that they supply russia in this war.
One-sided cutting of supply wouldn’t work now or in the future.
The west is the side that spend more and by a huge margin. Cutting the spending would work great for people now and in the future.
You know these countries profit from Russia too, right?
What’s this margin vs their GDP, for example?
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”
