[@mr.l8527]

​​@@cegesh1459 Russia has been (mostly) winning the war. It's just not going as quickly and decisively as it should have been due to the support Ukraine has been receiving. But the Ukrainian military can't maintain this war for much longer. They've become desperate enough that they're even recruiting middle aged men (50+) to replace those lost in battle. And with every strategic sector that Russia takes, the Ukrainian forces are further crippled. Even if they liberate the areas from Russian control (and they have in a few), those areas now have to be rebuilt, and the men/equipment lost in it's loss, along with the further losses suffered in its retaking are exhaustive. These counter-invasions into Russian territory aren't a sign of the Ukranian army moving towards victory. They're a strategic attempt to refocus the Russian Military's forces from offense to defense, to give Ukraine time to recover. It's startegically sound but also a sign of desperation. It may work but it's actually a longshot.

Just to put the salary of Russian soldiers into perspective it would be the same if US soldier got $100k one time payment and around $300K after one year. If he survives that is.

[@dianapennepacker6854]

Your cost parity is off from what I have gathered. The Russian economy is heating up. Inflation and shortages are making things cost more, but salaries are also going up. Housing prices are going up from the bonuses! Moscow says if a soldier signs up there they will stand to make 5.2 Million Rubles total in a year. That is just 57,142$ USD at the moment as of now. Not sure if different provinces get different bonuses. From WarontheRocks of July 9. "The purchasing power parity modifier for Russia is roughly 2.2, meaning that goods and services worth $100 in the United States would cost roughly $45 in Russia." So yeah definitely not as much as you say, but at the same time it is -really- good for an average Russian in some isolated province. Edit - Wonder if they tax that. I'd be angry! A bit more than 100k is nothing to sneeze at. They are making more than gas and oil employees which I guess is a big deal. One note while trying to find the PPP of Russia conversion. The least amount paid is 14 million rubles to wounded/dead. The website says it will cost Russia at least 800 billion to 1.4 trillion just for casualties as of May. That is insane. I don't think that factors in money lost from ya know... Someone being dead and not working.

I’m someone who consumes a large variety of media on a weekly basis and Ukraine is covered literally every single day on a myriad Media outlets. For example-PBS NewsHour, CNN, Fox, BBC, German media including TWS, CBN news, CBC news, sky news, Al Jazeera, IndianTimes, the telegraph and on and on and on. Hell, the telegraph literally has an hour podcast on KZbin exclusively detailing what happened in Ukraine in the last 24 hours. I listen to this every day and it’s extremely detailed. You can find it on KZbin. Granted there are media outlets that are more common just on KZbin that don’t cover the war such as the David Pakman show but channels like that typically make their money off Clicks and politics is more profitable than war. But, not only does the mainstream media cover Ukraine in great detail every day, but they don’t shy away from being impartial. Most media outlets acknowledge the facts-that a fascist authoritarian Russian dictatorship illegally invaded a sovereign democratic Ukraine. And of course, they cover news about the variety of war crimes Russia has perpetrated on Ukraine, such as the murdering of civilians, raping of women, murder and torture of Ukrainian soldier POWs, the kidnap of children who are brought back to Russia and forced into fascist indoctrination, etc. But most mainstream media has covered and is covering these issues unless you live in an autocratic nation, such as Russia, China, North Korea. Anyway, I encourage people liking this comment to watch more mainstream media, read more newspapers, listen to more mainstream media podcasts, etc. If you do this, you will notice coverage about Ukraine on a daily basis.

Ukraine had to attack this area which serves as a logistical and military training ground for an attack on their country. In this way, they also relieve the front in their country. The Ukrainians are in a difficult situation because the West did not supply them with a sufficient amount of heavy weapons either before or after the attack, there are no phantoms, Apaches, Abrahams, rifles... they still use Soviet equipment in this sense, planes, tanks, helicopters. . The Americans mostly gave them javelins, chimars and drones, but that's more for defensive use, and it's not enough for this kind of war where the Russians have especially artillery dominance.

[@dimsb5901]

The preface of "unprovoked invasion" please needs to stop. Anyone who knows geopolitics in any depth knows this is untrue. You can argue and debate that it is indeed unjustified, and I tend to agree, but that is not what unprovoked means.

That attack on Kursk is just a double edged sword. Ukraine could use it to negotiate if they hold the territory down for a while but i doubt Putin would want to negotiate after that, but there's a big chance Putin might use the attack on Kursk as a reason to open up another front, whatever front he'll open who knows...

[@danishkfd]

its just a advance with no real motives tho. ukraine should'nt expect to be captruring kursk. the situation is dire in areas like chasiv yar and advika sectors. russian advances are slow but steady. most of these can be stopped with manpower and focused firepower. this advance goes against it as its another front Ukraine has to put its resources on. this does have some benefits for ukraine tho. it boosts some morale and can satisfy west to send more equipment as well as providing leverage in a peace conference. not to forget damaging russian population's morale.

[@Edax_Royeaux]

@@danishkfd If Russia is leaving it's borders completely undefended in order to advance in Advikia, it means Russia doesn't have the manpower to both advance in Advikia and protect the border, so it makes sense to force the Russias to redistribute their manpower to the border so it can no longer conduct meaningful offensives.

[@Strongpoint_S]

Early notable benefits from the Kursk offensive 1) Scores of POWs for exchange. Many of those are conscripts and some of those conscripts will have influential or active parents 2) Disrupting rail line that was used to supply stuff from Belarus to the frontlines, including fuel from Mozyr. It will stay this until Sudzha is recaptured 3) Forcing Russia to frantically move some reserves there, easing the situation on other fronts. 4) Saving some Ukrainians settlements from bombs and missiles that will now fall on Russian settlements instead 5) Getting world media attention back. 6) Yes, it is a huge morale booster for Ukrainian troops fighting defensive battles elsewhere

[@ElGordoElGordito]

​@@Edax_Royeauxit was a massive L for Putin tbh, but he's consistently underestimated Ukraine's propensity to continue the fight. I'd have thought he would take the gloves off after the first push on Kiev, when it became clear Ukr wasn't going to be scared into a quick and easy capitulation, but here we are years later watching him still make these mistakes

[@Edax_Royeaux]

@@ElGordoElGordito In the final years of WWI, many German generals were already convinced of their defeat on the Western Front, but due to the political situation, they went along with the doomed offensives anyway that accomplished little other than to nudge the frontline. The logical thing to have done was to retreat back to the German border and from there attempt a ceasefire, but millions of Germans died for a handful of kilometers of French land and thus it would have been political suicide to retreat and have it all been for nothing. I think Putin is stuck in the same situation.

[@Syn_1]

Several units have social media (for example, Azov and the 3rd Assault brigade both have youtube channels where they post-combat footage) or the soldiers in each unit have social media and mention the area of the front they are in. That being said not every unit has its exact location known at every moment so I wouldn't be surprised if the unit icons you see in the video are a rough guess based on people and equipment seen operating on that part of the front. As for plans, it's mostly guesses about what people see happening and what soldiers on the ground are saying about how they are being attacked.
