Ukraine Embarrasses Putin With Surprise Assault On Southern Russia by abc115: 8:52pm On Aug 10 |
Vladimir Putin fixed the commander in chief of Russia’s military, General Valery Gerasimov, with a cold stare and a look of exasperation. The video, released Wednesday by the Kremlin, showed the Russian president was not happy with news from the southern region of Kursk. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e1Xcfi7eudM?si=aJFsFIlstWwxaEvj At that moment, hundreds of Ukrainian troops, backed by tanks and protected by air defenses, were advancing into the region. Russian soldiers were surrendering; hundreds of Russian civilians in and around the town of Sudzha were fleeing with anything they could grab. In two-and-a-half years of warfare, it was an unprecedented Ukrainian incursion into Russia. Putin told the Kremlin meeting that it was “another major provocation” by Kyiv. The region’s acting governor declared a state of emergency, describing the situation as “very difficult.” Above all, it was humiliating for a Russian state that prides itself on protecting the motherland. The Kursk attack was an audacious and counter-intuitive move from the Ukrainian military, what one analyst describes as “doing the least obvious thing.” Despite steadily losing ground in eastern Donetsk, it chose to send elements of experienced brigades into Russian territory, with the apparent goals of embarrassing the Kremlin and forcing the Russian Defense Ministry to redeploy resources and providing the home front with a much-needed morale boost. https://edition.cnn.com/2024/08/10/europe/ukraine-putin-embarrasses-surprise-assault-analysis-intl/index.html 1 Like 1 Share |

War is mind and not just weapons. Russia has all the weapons and million military personel to deliver in a short time but it's just clearly how this war is only Putin's war and not the soldiers's at the frontline. If Trump becomes president, Putin will have no option than to agree to whatever terms they want to adopt to end the war. Russia is clearly loosing. 3 Likes |

Its really embarrassing for Putin. Although Russia has started dropping 3000kg glide bombs on the Ukrainian army in kursk. The ones wey die remain go quickly cross back, I guess. They live to fight another day 😆 3 Likes |

tanigororo: It's already lasted very long. Putin has been so terribly embarrassed by Ukraine that he sef no fit believe am. Una wey dey worship Putin get more faith in the man than him get for himself. This war has been Putin's most terrible miscalculation. And the longer it lasts, the worse it gets, for both parties, but Russia mostly because Ukraine has good allies. Putin knows this. Ukraine, even though they are suffering because of the war, knows this. The only group wey no know na Nairaland's unintelligent Putin worshippers. But it will be clear. 2 Likes 1 Share |

In the video, the look of embarrassment on Putin’s face is priceless. The evacuation of more Russian citizens has been ordered as Ukrainian forces forge ahead. Even Putin knows that this is the beginning of the end. 1 Like 1 Share |
