Will Putin Take the Bait in Kursk?

The Ukrainian incursion into Russia is not part of a serious military campaign. Rather, it is intended to provoke a Russian response inside Ukraine which would then be characterized as an overt attempt to take over and destroy Ukraine. Will it work?

Until now, the Russians have only occupied largely Russian-speaking areas of Ukraine and have adopted a defensive attrition posture which is bleeding the Ukrainian Army dry and undermining Western support for continuing to fuel the carnage. What the NATO war hawks need are new excuses for prolonging their proxy war against Russia. They would like to see perceived atrocities in Russia result in even greater atrocities in Ukraine, thereby whipping up public support for even greater military involvement.

Will Putin take this bait? He would be wise to avoid retaliatory attacks inside Ukraine and instead concentrate on encircling and capturing the Ukrainian special forces now inside Russia. It would be interesting to find out who they are and who planned their operation.

good Luck with it 🇷🇺 🐔 Ivan.

What Putin needs to do is to stop the Ukrainian advance in the Kursk region and carry on with his campaign in the Donbas. They are almost at the gates of two towns there - Pokrovsk and Torezk - two main logistical centers of Ukrainian army. When these towns are taken by them, this opens a way to the Sloviansk-Kramatorsk agglomeration from the south - their main goal in the region.

I won't be surprised at all if this Ukrainian offensive in the Kursk region will end up like another great offensive on the Sea of Azov direction ended last year - with massive losses of personnel and Western military hardware for no results achieved.

It's generally being accepted by both sides now that the Kursk operation was planned well in advance by the Ukraine.

I'm going to propose something entirely different:

Russia left the opportunity wide open in expectation that the Ukraine would send their remaining best men and equipment into Russia, to be completely destroyed. That's what is happening now as we speak.

Russia/Putin can never admit to this because Russia's objective is to take no prisoners, or to 'disappear' the few that are taken.

This answers all the questions on why the Ukraine would act so suicidally.
 
This week, the Russian military struck Ukraine with more than 40 missiles, 750 guided bombs and 200 drones of various types. But so far, local Russian commanders have not moved Russian troops out of the occupied regions in eastern Ukraine. Pulling troops out of Ukraine to defend Kursk Oblast will result in a major strategic blunder for Russia. Zelensky is devilishly luring Russian troops into Kursk but Russia should never fall into the trap.

I'm not sure I follow your reasoning. Why would Ukraine send their remaining best men and equipment into Russia, to be completely destroyed?

What trap are you referring to? Is Ukraine planning a big offensive operation somewhere else?

P.S. What does "AFU" stand for?
 
If Russia pulls troops out of eastern Ukraine, the front lines will collapse, which gives Ukraine a chance to reclaim the lost territories seized by Russia. Russia will be completely humiliated, if it loses those hard-won gains in eastern Ukraine. Russia has deployed several brigades of about a thousand men each to repel the Ukrainian offensive in the Kursk region.



The Armed Forces of Ukraine (abbreviated as AFU) are the military forces of Ukraine. All military and security forces, including the Armed Forces.

How many troops does Russia have in eastern Ukraine? Would removing 5,000 troops really cause its front lines to collapse?
