Ukraine’s Kursk incursion shows Russia’s weakness | DW News

Well if Russia has no borders according to Putin, then shouldn't the Ukrainian army be able to go where ever it wants?

Zelensky will do anything to please western media. Over 600 Ukranian Troops and over 82 vehicles destroyed in 3 days in Kursk region.

[@ryanboychanel4484]

[@carlchong7592]

He is trading space for time just like the Ukrainians did at the beginning of the special operation. At the current rate of exchange Putin is exchanging space for time at a rate commensurate rate to the purchasing power of the Rubble to USD, and much worse than the K:D ratio accomplished grinding into Ukraine, but space is being exchanged for time nonetheless. It remains to be seen if this extremely bad exchange rate of km/days will hold up. I wonder how fast the Russians will be able to mobilize and fortify Kursk.

Quite true. All the Russians have to do is to dig in.

What happened to Nick's head?!?! Poor guy--I hope he didn't get caught in the blowback from one of those weapons.

[@jackalopewright5343]

"Shows Russia's weakness" is an admission that this entire incursion is a public relations offensive, no different than the Battle of the Bulge, and will end exactly the same way.

[@peabase]

Mind you, the Battle of the Bulge has a genuine effort on the Germans' part to recapture the port of Antwerp and to encircle the Allied armies to the north. It was a very optimistic plan, but a genuine effort nonetheless.

[@foilhat1138]

The battle of the bulge was a hard battle resulting in massive German casualties. The Ukrainian's have just waltzed in almost unopposed, the Chechens fled at the sight of Ukrainians and the conscripts surrendered at first contact.

@@foilhat1138 Incidentally, the Allies suffered worse casualties in the Battle of the Bulge than the Germans. It's just that the Allies could tolerate their losses and the Germans could not.

[@MrGman1956]

This whole war is terrible waste. Both Russia and Ukraine have declining populations. They cannot afford the slaughter.

[@LavionsOregon]

Russia has declining population for long time, not Ukraine tho. Big effect of economy.

[@Bobbybobjohnson]

Russia show weakness since 2 years and a alf ago
