Z war correspondents were among the first to report on the breakthrough of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the Kursk region, while the official media and pro-Ukrainian sources remained silent all this time. 3:00 The same Z war correspondents reported about the accumulation of Ukrainian forces on the border in the Sumy region, but the Russian authorities and army completely ignored these statements. 4:15 It is true that the border was defended by conscripts and they could do little to counter the trained Ukrainian forces. 13:00 Russian contract soldiers in some regions of Russia have had their salaries increased. In this way, the Russian authorities are trying to invite as many people as possible to military service without intending to carry out mobilization. I don't think there will be mobilization in Russia because there are too many contract soldiers.

[@Ls151000]

[@ajc-ff5cm]

Russia has a clear manpower advantage, but it means either weakening other fronts or conscripting more men into the army which is a hugely risky move. Putin has said that the war won’t affect everyday Russians and everything is going ‘well,’ so clearly Ukraine is doing everything it can to show that its not the case. Russia’s entire existence is about keeping its nearest enemy off of their territory. Ukraine pulling on that thread will undoubtedly have repercussions, but it remains to be seen if it will ultimately benefit them. I think the real risk for Ukraine is time. Russia is great at playing the “land for time” strategy. The more territory Ukraine takes, the harder it will be to hold and Russia can eventually bring its manpower advantage to bear.

Most of Rosgvardia and other internal security forces, the nuclear forces, the navy (except a bit of the black seas fleet), the vanity projects all are eating up a huge amount of manpower with no relevance to the Invasion of Ukraine. Fortunately this is quite a bit closer than it initially seems.

[@emilsohn1671]

@@kilianortmann9979 Exactly. Russia also needs a presence in the East against the US Pacific, Japan, and China. And they still need a presence on their border to western Europe and Scandinavia. In addition, this war is existential to Ukraine, whereas for Russia it is just existential to the regime. If the Ukranian offensive continues to grow and weaken the authority of Russian regime internally, I can see this leading to problems in Chechneya, Kazan, Caucasus, but I submit I am just a layman with a bit of history. It might be that the people of Caucasus and Kazan/Chechenya are on good terms with Moscow, but I don't always get that "vibe"...

@@pranays aren't talking Putin here, that's pretty obvious

[@LEGOMANIAC419]

@@pranays it's more the Ukrainians who are employing this strategem. Losing ground on their own home turf is more than likely a pretty solid blow to Russian pride--as the Ukrainians continue to tear through the poorly defended Kursk territory, the image that Putin has built of a strong and fierce Russia that will defend its territories at all costs will only further erode. It also shows that the Russians are far more hesitant to enforce their so-called "red lines", which only further weakens their projection of strength. This may, in turn, lead to the Western powers being more willing to send aid to Ukraine. Putin now has a very difficult decision to make. If he doesn't address the invasion of Kursk, he will only look weak and indecisive. If he tries to mobilize more troops, whether through draft or mobilization, not only does he risk popular dissent--but they may not be able to push the battle-hardened Ukrainians out of Kursk, at least not without massive casualty rights. If he tries to pull troops off the front line in Ukraine, he weakens the Russian positions there and gives the Ukrainians an opening to counterattack--or at the very least, give them a much-needed reprieve.

Ukraine captures some territory from Russia (for now), but it seems (wisely so from the Russian perspective) that Russia doesn't really respond that much. In my opinion Ukraine is fighting a desperate struggle with Russia that they know they cannot win without more support from NATO. In the end it is all a numbers and economical "game", which is right now in Russia's favor. It is smart what Ukraine is doing, as it disrupts Russia's military control and plans, but in the end it will be to no avail. The real goal for the Ukraine defense forces for this operation is to easen the pressure on the Ukraine front. If Russia does not respond by pulling away strong forces from this front it will result in a pointless attempt. Actually, if Russian high command is smart enough and can tolerate some additional territorial loss, they might entice Ukraine to move forward only to cut off their logistics and forces at some point.

Russia can't afford to lose land and recapture. Ukraine cannot. I think Ukraine is making a mistake similar to Napoleon,polish,and germans

[@freshhands9461]

Definitely possible. But if you know it, I know it, Putin knows it...well, Ukraine certainly knows as well. If Putin's offensive stagnates, and Ukraine takes that AKW for example, killing, wounding or capturing thousands of those conscripts in the process...well, we will see. I do realize being a priviliged armchair general here. Better than to be a helpless watcher, I guess.

[@stank8460]

You have any idea how many airfield they have destroyed? Calling this offensive pointless when using so little men is just silly.

[@isaacapenteng9639]

They havent destroyed any airfields. Damaged some infrastructure on some yes.​@stank8460

As usuall, Kings and Generals with the best video

[@pyrothefriendlyarsonist9195]

Kursk and Belgorod's People's Republic referendum when?

[@BarlasofIndus]

Would Ukraine get troops to hold them and weaken it's force in actual front down?

[@HolgerGöken]

Well done 😊

[@bhangjiwon]

if only kings and generals would report equally on ukraine's operational failures as well as its successes

[@KingsandGenerals]

Maybe you need to actually watch the videos. We report on everything.

[@SteinhauerNews]

They also took down the local radio tower.

[@sdinvt]

Do I have important housework to do this morning? Yes. But this is more important.

[@blitzio]

HIMARS is pronounced "High-mars", not "HE-mars"

[@pranays]

Not in English

[@teovu5557]

Wong!!! It's pronounced He-man in vulgar English.

A+ for using proper unit icons

[@markiv2942]

Anyone feel UNEASY that this is about some current conflict instead of history? That people are dying from both sides and we're talking about as like it's history from cold and calculative perspective?

[@TheAl2kas]

Yes, but pros outweights the cons. My family is in Lithuania and I want to know whats happening in the eastern europe. Also, the sooner we make records about things like that the better. Nobody with a kind human heart can watch this without feeling uneasy, but we need this.

[@PhucDat37]

No

[@matteostevanato3575]

If you're trying to understand how the war is going you need to think about it coldly, otherwise you don't see the big picture. If you just take your info from the news you won't understand shit. Of course we all think that this is a tragedy though

[@MinesAGuinness]

I am glad that you asked that question, although I am going to disagree with it entirely. It is fundamental to the study of history and all the humanities that we ask questions and that we doubt ourselves, as we search for new information and perspectives, and try to synthesise these into our own understanding. I contend that there is no such artificial distinction as to what is and is not history. We are, of course, free to avoid engaging in discussions of current affairs until a time that we determine that events are 'historical' enough to reckon with. In my country, it was once suggest by a prominent politicians that this period be a '30 year rule' for historical studies in education. Often, official documents are sealed for even longer until their contents are finally released for the public. But in my experience as a historian and teacher, those who have argued for such ways of viewing things - and attempting to enforce them as strictures in textbooks and curriculums of history - have been motivated by a desire to obscure certain events, perspectives, and to stifle informed discussion and debate, for their own ends. I contend that the world could do with a little more apposite investigation an discussion of events right now, making use of the expertise of those studied in the humanities, who are curiously often sidelined by politicians and journalists alike who want to control public understanding of the 'news,' requiring us merely to react and emote passively as they determine. We offer a counter to that, by treating these subjects and events with the seriousness and discipline of the historical method, and the people whose lives have become involved as seriously. We could be wrong; we could have missed some vital information; events may not go as we imagine they would; new information will undoubtedly be available to us in the future. But the effort to understand what we can is never wasted, when the alternative is allowing some other interest to make those assumptions for us and expect us to accept them uncritically. Avail yourself of it, and you will be better able to understand the world which leaves us all uneasy at the suffering of those who must live in it.

[@c.m.9999]

So because it is happening right now we should not talk about it ? I completely disagree

[@murrayscott9546]

Thank you.

[@viikmaqic]

I just hope west dont give up on Ukraine, and that ukrainians dont give up on themselves

[@kiton1890]

Thank you very much for the video from Odesa, Ukraine

[@Murasaki1357]

The Ukrainian army is strong and full of morale! Kings and Generals, thank you very much for the work you have done, it is a pleasure to watch and listen to you!
