The imminent collapse of the Kursk incursion
looking at it militarily that Russia was content to let this go on for months, because every time Ukraine would send reinforcements into the Kursk pocket they were not available Ukraine to go into the donbas area, which has always been the priority of effort for the Russian side, so that made their job there easier and they could their objective and understand this. This is so important, because very few in the west seem to get that Russia's primary objective is not territorial acquisition. That's a byproduct. Their primary objective is the destruction of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, so whether they do that in the Kursk area and in the Eastern front or only on the Eastern Front is of little consequence, because it's this the total Force package of the Ukraine side that's what they have been going after and that is what they have stated openly. It's not anything hidden that you have to Divine they're stating it out loud that's what they call demilitarization and densification.
Ukrainian MP called for peace with Russia
Zelensky’s moment is quickly passing into history. A growing constituency of his own people and of Ukraine’s political elite are calling for new elections and a swift end to the war. And the imminent collapse of the Kursk incursion – widely seen as Zelensky’s brainchild – will focus those calls into a clamour.
It will be convenient to blame the coming massacre and capture of Ukrainian soldiers on Trump’s cutoff of military aid and intelligence sharing. But in truth things have been bleak well before the recent Trump-Zelensky meltdown.
Yesterday prominent Ukrainian MP Oleksiy Honcharenko called for peace with Russia after three years of passionate defiance. He called on Zelensky to stop claiming to be “saving” Europe and concentrate on saving Ukraine.
