Why have Ukrainian military leaders not even been mentioning their “offensive in the Kursk region” for all these days?

I saw one pro-uke report that said they had gone as far as 250K into Russian held territory when it turned out that it was measured in sq KM (about 95 sq miles) across the whole front.

Washington DC is about 70 sq. miles.

Here's one square mile on a map.

3K square miles.

There is a good reason for Zelensky to feel bad for the sneak attack that was not approved by the White House, which angrily asked Ukraine for an explanation. Biden repeatedly discouraged Ukraine from launching cross-border attacks. Zelensky completely ignored it because he was emboldened to attack Russia after 2 F-16s were finally delivered.

There was also the unauthorized use of American-supplied missiles in the Kursk region. The Telegram channel Voennyi Osvedomitel (Military Informer) reports that the convoy was struck by HIMARS rocket artillery before dawn on August 9. The channel later published photos purportedly showing HIMARS missile fragments allegedly found in the Kursk region.



The White House was contacting Ukraine to learn the “objectives” of a major incursion across the border into Russia, the White House press secretary, Karine Jean-Pierre, said on Wednesday. Washington supported “common sense” actions by Ukraine to stop attacks by Russian forces, Jean-Pierre added. “We’re going to reach out to the Ukrainian military to learn more about their objectives.

Currently, blogs, forums, Western media, etc. are filled with information about an alleged offensive of Ukrainian troops in the Kursk region of the Russian Federation.
Some videos, some maps, etc. are published, which may make a certain impression on inexperienced readers.

But when we read the official website of the Ukrainian governmental information agency, we can see that Ukrainian military leaders have not even been mentioning their “offensive in the Kursk region” for all these days. This governmental agency quotes only some Western politicians, some civilians, etc.

But two years ago, the General Staff of Ukraine published rules for informing about military actions (see the screenshot above):


I think that this stupid situation can be explained only by the fact that the Ukrainian army cannot report the capture of any Kursk villages etc.
Because such false information can be refuted without difficulty - for example, photos of the respective village council with the Russian flag above it etc. will be published right away.

But it is quite easy to throw such disinformation into blogs, forums, Ukrainian non-governmental media, and etc. and quite easy to say - there is freedom of speech and the Ukrainian authorities are not responsible for what someone alleges in the non-governmental information sector, what fake videos and photos he/she posts there, etc.

However, there cannot be any successful offensive that the military leadership of the country, that is allegedly advancing, keeps silent about.

Well the current photos and video evidence says otherwise.

Bit it's called Op-Sec. Or operational security....and Russia has one heck of a dilemma on their hands.

The two battalions available inside of Russia are not trained or equipped to handle these Ukrainian forces. The brigades they sent (green and unequipped) already were slaughtered en route.

So....the power plant there has been shut down....and Putin needs to fix the towns and the gaping hole in his front lines as well as pull troops from the front lines, lose ground, and chase off the invading army plus close the hole in border security if not the hole in his front lines....

Perfect dilemma created by AFU.

This is exactly what you do with asymmetrical warfare.
