- Ukrainian forces launched a surprise offensive into Russia’s Kursk region last Tuesday.
- They have captured around 1,000 square kilometers of Russian land so far, Kyiv’s top general said.
- That figure is almost as much territory as Russia has seized in Ukraine this year.
This bit seems relevant, given that Ukraine’s stated intention has always been reclaiming their own land:
That, or “reclaiming their own land” was a bit more expansive than we all realized /s
Technically Earth is the native land of all Ukrainians.
Can you imagine how dumb we would all feel if Russia was right? (/s)
They’re doing all three of those, and also may be effectively flanking the Kremlin’s defense along that part of the front.
Always best to keep them guessing. Strategically, it’s gold.
I’ve heard Kursk has the gas pipeline to Europe.
Had.
The Ukrainians overran it and disabled it. It won’t be working for a very long time.
Good. Fuck Hungary, and one up for the climate change.
Ukraine doing more for the EU than the entire EU parliament.
Does this mean Germany is going to have a bad time and fuck up the power grid for all of Europe this winter again?
Germany has 90%+ of its gas supply through the lmg now
