Didn’t this news come from Russian state controlled media? Perhaps it’s all horseshit to try and play down the future destruction of a pretty clear target for Ukraine.

Ukraine has a potential opportunity if the NGF tries to withdraw in order to defend Kursk. If they harry the Russians all the way, the NGF could find itself pinched between the invasion force and the defenders currently in Vovchansk. Even a relatively small detachment hitting its rear while it's trying to fight the 80th in front would be a bad time for the Russians.

Kursk is a highway and railway hub. If they can get, even to a few km radius of Kursk, and a section a bit more east, Ukraine can HIMARS Belgorod, the whole track on the way to Kursk, and effectively cut off the entire northern line.... I do believe.

The problem is in a war it's not that difficult to fix. Shoot it with some missiles to turn it to rubble, bulldoze it flat, and lay track over it. If the goal is speed, this probably only takes a couple days If you want to actually impact it, you'd either do it to miles and miles of track (maybe pouring concrete on the tracks for miles?). But it's still not that effective. I think the other poster saying switches and bridges, that's stuff that takes longer to fix

As long as they don't push *too* deep, they still have the Ukrainian border to their back. Which is territory they've long held and fortified, and that Russia has failed to take. We also don't really know what kind of work is happening behind Ukrainian lines right now. I don't know for sure but I imagine Ukraine has had it's main defenses somewhere between the city of Sumy and the border. If they can act quickly during this incursion they might be able to move those defensive lines even closer to the Russian border, so even if Russia regroups and pushes Ukrainian forces back... suddenly they face a situation where no mans land extends well into Russian territory.

I think the main idea is to demoralize the russian population. One of their marketing slogans for this war is "We don't leave our people behind". And now we have multiple villages and at least one town abandoned by government officials as soon as the Ukrainian army got close to them. Some military units ran away too. The government denied the incursion for at least two days. YouTube is being blocked. People were basically abandoned. I think the main point here is to show people of russia the government doesn't care about them.

Fun fact: the most recent Hamas leader that Israel assassinated was born into a refugee camp because Israelis had razed his parents' village to the ground and then expelled or murdered everyone who lived there. After taking part in peaceful protests while attending university, he was thrown in prison for three years, then expelled from the country along with 200 other activists whose only crime had been speaking out against actual Israeli crimes. So weird how he ended up joining an armed resistance group. Whatever could have possibly motivated him to think that violence was the only answer?

You are. Ukraine is our ally. And we don't let our allies get destroyed by hostile powers. Ukraine signed a treaty with Russia. Ukraine removed all of its nukes, and Russia promised to never invade.  Russia violated that treaty in 2014. They launched a full scale war 800 days ago. They are the aggressors and they are in the wrong. If you want money to be spent on America, you'll have to kick out the Republicans who refuse to allow it.

«Jade McGlynn, a Ukraine expert and research fellow at King’s College London, said: “As a military strategy, I remain a bit puzzled…» Do you really have to be a military strategy expert to see the strategic value in this? Attack enemy where they are open -> force them to react by deploying manpower and resources -> said manpower and resources now cannot be used to attack you somewhere else.

They sent in 2 armoured brigades, up a major supply and communication route as I understand it. Meanwhile the local Russian forces appear to be in disarray and it seems like a lot of their other units are committed elsewhere right now. Time will tell how they will respond but this could get interesting, it also might shake loose a lot more foreign support if they show they can do more than bog the Russians down in an endless attentional war. The Ukrainians are playing to an international audience, including inside Russia, remember about a year ago there was mutiny amongst the Russian forces, now there are Ukrainian tanks in the Kursk Oblast, that doesn't bode well for a strong man authoritarian leader. This is bad for the Russians tactically but terrible for them politically, and I think it is only going to get worse.

> I do hate that the affective tactics for Ukraine is to follow much of Russias playbook. To just bring cities to ruble, and attack the power infrastructure inside Russia. To be fair - destruction we've seen in the videos so far is limited to what is absolutely necessary to achieve their objectives, and not the "advancing by leveling city blocks" we see from Russia. I have no doubt that'll come still - by Russia, when they try to capture those areas back. But I'd rather have Russia bomb Russian cities than Ukrainians.

And before any idiot accuses me of being some Russian bot remember that one thing is what it should happen, another thing is what will most likely happen. This has been doomed from the start. USA will drop Ukraine as soon as Iran/Israel blows up or china sets foot in Taiwan. And the EU is just using Ukraine as a shield until they get their own defenses up. There is a 0% chance Ukraine does anything significant in Russian territory.

If they skirt the city and capture the power station, it would be fairly simple to redirect its power into their grid. If the Russians try to blow it up, that’ll be a big nuclear problem 40km away from Kursk city. All in all, pretty decent chip.

I’m supportive of Ukraine, but we need to be careful about this kind of mentality. They can and have justified this because of their situation. But they don’t have a free pass on anything, just because of what their aggressor are doing. It’s this kind of mentality that the likes of Benny Morris use to justify ethnic cleansing following the ‘48 Arab invasion of Israel. Just because their enemy has stooped to that level, doesn’t mean you get a free pass for everything.

the doodlebugs raids are spit attacks are redundant in the face of long terms bombing campaigns which in turn are incorrectly used as an attempt to intimidate the population into defeat, you're already hitting population centres by 1940 and it didnt work doodlebugs are just an extension on an already failed strategy. It's also worth noting that the British public are already engaged in a total war they're aware they might not win. By contrast the urkraine offensive would be the equivalent of the viet kong being able to strike directly at USA and capture territory after it became clear the US couldn't just overun the Vietnaam.

If it achieves a favourable attrition ratio for Ukraine then it may be worth it. That might be the aim, to pick a fight with Russia where the Ukrainians think they would have an advantage rather than pouring more reinforcements to the most intense part of the Donbas front. If the Ukrainians take advantage of surprise to take a chunk of territory, and then prepare for a Russian counterattack, they could inflict far greater equipment losses than they take. The Ukrainians are not surrounded on 3 sides, they advanced across their own border and mainly control the area directly along it. There's no real vulnerable bulge. If it's a bulge then Ukraine's existing border was a bulge but wasn't attacked since the end of the initial Russian invasion towards Kyiv.

Don't know anything about power plants, but if the thing talked about earlier where you can blow the turbines that produce the power without affecting the nuclear side is real, do that as well. Force russia to stop the war, retreat, and most important change their political system for sanctions to be lifted so that things can be repaired. Do I think this will happen? No. But I'm still naive and desperately hold on to any sort of hope.

It’s obviously a joke. The Ukrainians aren’t going to attempt to annex part of Russia. Whether or not it’s just one offhand comment or a running joke on the part of the Ukrainians I have no idea, but I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s the latter.
