Dima should get over the “omg, how they got there? it must mean they have “FULL CONTROL””. The essence of Ukraine’s operation is to rush through empty roads and show presence. Big difference between control and presence.
@BarbarosGunes
First of all, Ukrainian troops are around five thousand not one thousand. Second, they use fast APCs, AFVs, Pick ups to move around to show presence in towns, villages to confuse defensive actions. They also leave a couple of platoons in each settlement to occupy defense forces and move pre decided zones after that.
Their purpose is to give the impression of a large scale invasion. If they can go deeper in Russia is better for their perception operation which is the main goal of Zalensky.
While defense forces are trying to eliminate them they will try to settle inside the border zone to hold and bring more motorized units.
So,
1. it doesn’t mean the settlements are under Ukranian control which they have a presence…
2. It doesn’t mean they are invading villages deeper in Russia wherever they are seen, this is “the rabbit run the dog catch” game…
3. It is better to evaluate the situation calmly, this isn’t something big, the Russian Army will sweep them out completely soon. But, the negligence or incompetency of the Russian command shouldn’t be forgotten…
4. Don’t help Zalensky in his no objective military action other than his PR campaign…
PS. They are also trying tactics which are planned for Europe in case of Russian Army offense thru Europe. The whole plan depends on moving fast in Russia (as we see here) to confuse them, to give max damage possible because they know that they cannot stop the Russian Army in the line of contact…
@MrIaninuk
The UKR only occupy the bits of roads where they are stuck or retreating from. The Russian look like they are in the process of ‘mopping up’
@stephenokolie3792
Ukrainian soldiers were just running round and round and hoisting Ukrainian flag.
They hang the flag and run to another area without holding the territory thereeby leaving Russia and reporters confused as to the actual position of the Ukrainians.
@Demon-cratic
Ukraine soldiers are mostly finished. They are not ALL ukranian fighters. Most of them are NATO. Zelenzky asked for weapons and he got them. Asked for F16 and he got them. He has been asking for troops and he also got them. He also asked for long range and he got it. Now he got the ultimate, to go all into the russian soil and he got it.They are only called mercenaries whenever those mercenaries needs to be explained to the public.

It seems that the Ukrainian leadership is still under the spell of the 2022 Kharkiv offensive, when small detachment of light motorized units raced swiftly from one undefended settlement to another, planted their flag, loaded the picture up to telegram and then raced on, giving the few Russian forces stationed there the feeling of being constantly under threat of encirclement, compelling them to retreat further.
The Ukrainian forces have tried to recreate that feat during the Kherson offensive a few weeks later, then with last year´s big offensive in the south, but failed in the first two days and then switched to brute force tactics. Now they tried it again in Kursk.
The big problem is that the political/military leadership in Kiev (and many people in the West) don´t grasp that the main component of the Ukrainian success in Kharkiv 2022 was the low number of Russian forces in the area in the first place, since most troops had been deployed to the south in order to protect that were preparing for the referendums and subsequent accession to the Russian Federation. This led now and then to a recklessly Ukrianian modjus operandi, which fully relied on surprise, speed and low numbers of enemy forces.
This can´t work if the Russians are truly fighting and can field sufficient number of troops, but Kiev got so drunk from its own narrative of the Kherkiv offensive, that they tried anyway and are getting punished for it.
@alfredwhite7773
Many compare this Kursk offensive with the Ardennes offensive during world war 2, but that offensive had a clear strategic objective which was not achieved. Here, however, there is no objective, it was just a PR stunt by the losing side, a way of showing the West, that they can still fight and that it is worth sending them weapons. Perhaps the target was the nuclear power plant, but if it was, the attack was very quickly stalled, as they could not even get close.
@Lady.Aviator
Ukraine military has committed suicide , why? I think its their selfish leader but ask him for his reasons? Ukraine did not think of logistics they are now cut off!
@ronniedonald2886
FFS how much time is Dima going to waste on a minor excursion into Kursk. Would like to know what’s going on on the main battles. Seriously,the channel is turning to shit!
@tropolite
Now your projecting massive Ukraine positions further north so now you suggest a few townships between the two bridges were ‘fully captured’ by Ukraine. This is even after the last two days of talking about R&S groups were moving so far ahead. Reconnaissance & Sabotage don’t have a full entourage following behind so I call BS on that whole region being in the gray zone, that you find so hesitant to do for Russian offensives in various locations. So many discrepancies between Ukraine and Russia fully ‘capturing a region’, and marking it as such. But enjoy it, it won’t last long, there is nothing buy futility and more of a multitude of the Ukraine sacrificing their personnel for nothing.
@realgrilledsushi
So far from my understanding, AFU moved fast in their APCs but at some point they went as far as logistics allow them until Russians make full counterattack and reclaim all territory.
@danielpetrucci8952
Russian counter attacks have stopped the Ukrainian military incursion into Kursk Oblast.
@voodoojedizin4353
You have an interesting idea on the definition of control, six guys and a armored personnel carrier and one tank and they control an entire area or village how do you figure that one? You have done this in so many videos it’s getting ridiculous.
@summer2024worstmomentukrainwar
Anything can happen in these days. From Ukro Proxies to Belarus, to Finish in Karelia, To Okrainin blitz in south, to Pokrovsk collapse and of the whole donbass, and the cauldron of Kupyansk.
Even Kyiv could see some action again. This is a critical point right now. It will be very interesting updates
@winburna852
What a waste of military resources. Why not send to Donbass if you had those extra troops?
@paultyson459
Russia will push em back to the Ukraine border all in time so Ukraine forces doing this would have all been for nothing.
@charlesiragui2473
The Russian defense line seems aimed at specifically denying to Ukraine the possibility of taking the Kurchatov NPP. This may not be reflective of an estimate of how far the Ukrainians will reach but rather to render null any attempt, so deterring the effort all together.
