Ukraine has held part of the Kursk oblast for more than two months, and recent attempts by Russian counterattacks have failed without any significant success. With the rainy season already beginning, the likelihood that Russia will be able to reclaim the town of Sudzha before spring is low.According to various estimates, the Ukrainian forces involved in the Kursk operation number around 10,000 troops, while the Russian forces are estimated at 30,000 to 50,000. If these estimates are correct, the Ukrainian General Staff's plan to diversify resources has succeeded. I suspect that if Sudzha is not retaken by full winter and the cold weather, the Ukrainians will turn it (if they haven’t already) into a full-fledged defense hub by spring.The war in the Kursk oblast is not just widespread; there are already Russian villages that have been completely wiped off the map. This is the logic — to ensure that Russia, not Ukraine, is being destroyed. In the photo (from the OSINT specialists CyberBoroshno), you can see the village of Obukhovka in the Kursk oblast, which was thoroughly wiped out by Russian airstrikes.One should not have any illusions here: the Russians couldn’t care less about this village. What is beneficial here is not that it was destroyed, but that the planes, bombs, and shells that targeted this village could have been directed toward Ukrainian territory.

The territory shown on the ISW maps seems to be shrining quite a bit, how accurate do you or @SPIDERBOY think they are, since you have ears to the ground so to speak, for instance, the small area taken to the west of the main area (along the railway line) is now all in russian hands according to that map.Ukraine has held part of the Kursk oblast for more than two months, and recent attempts by Russian counterattacks have failed without any significant success.

cunts claiming they've returned 25% of the lost territories in kursk region but if they fail to take Sudzha back until winter i'd say it'll be their major fuck up of 2024. Cossacks will turn the town into the citadel

Either Ukraine will have nuclear weapons or NATO. Now we choose NATO, - Zelensky about his conversation with Trump.
