Ukraine took land that was unmined, lightly guarded and not part of the active front. Russia on the other hand is taking territory that was fortified for more than 8 years.

[@lynnfern2116]

There are a number of potential benefits which this invasion could bring for Ukraine. Firstly, the Russians will be forced to pull large numbers of troops from the Donbas & other fronts in order to attempt to stop the Ukrainian invasion. Secondly, with tens of thousands of civilians evacuating areas of the Kursk oblast, the propaganda value for Ukraine will be immense, & will give a much needed boost to Ukrainian morale. The evacuees will spread freely information which the Kremlin clearly wants to suppress ~ & will also spread fear. Thirdly, with the capture of large numbers of very young conscripts [who by Russian law should never have been in an active war zone] will assist in the fomentation of civil unrest ~ & will be valuable for prisoner exchanges. Fourthly, the capture of Russian land will be useful in future negotiations for the return of Ukrainian land & other assets. There is also the possibility that Russia will withdraw too many troops from other fronts in order to try to push Ukrainian troops out of Russia. This could result in Russia no longer being able to hold the fronts from which troops have been withdrawn.

[@cattymajiv]

Ukrainian tactics have been genius all along, but this is SPECTACULAR! SLAVA UKRAINI ! ! ! 🇺🇦 🇺🇦 🇺🇦

The thing about the equipment Ukraine deploys in Russia, i wager much of that was of little use in other frontlines anyways. NATO equipment is geared towards high mobility warfare and much of it fares poorly in the drone + trench warfare that defines all other frontlines.

[@PerfidiousAlbion1815]

@@leannevandekew1996 tell the population of Western Russia they are Asiatic and I think you will get a rude reply. Up until the later Russian Empire, Russia was mainly viewed as a westernised but barbaric nation. When they encompassed all the old Khanate and the Turkic regions upon the disintegration of the Ottoman Empire as well as the borders with China, then they became truly Asiatic. Like many Eastern European countries they were very influenced by asiatic culture, what we Brits would call “Orientalist”. One only has to look at the onion domed churches with echoes of Turkish and Persian architecture to see this. At the end of the Napoleonic wars in 1815, Russia certainly saw itself as a European power…with eastern assets.
