Kiev forces launched their surprise attack in Kursk on August 6. Western-made weapons and foreign mercenaries played a key role in the attack, which was apparently orchestrated with help from NATO. The attack came to a halt within a few days.
Since the start of the attack, at least 31 Russian civilians have been killed and more than 140 others have been wounded. Moreover, the attack displaced more than 140,000 civilians. The fate of some 2,000 others who lived in areas attacked by Kiev forces remain unknown.

and yet still capturing new territories easily.
where? in your head maybe.
yeah if that makes you happy.
kursk is a road to nowhere for the zelensky clan except maybe and hopefully that it will shorten the time when z has a rope around his neck!
the offensive is coming to an end. enjoy the publicity show while it lasted
yes, all i see on youtube is the circus show between kamala and trump now.
what a shit show, kamala looks like she has less cognitive functions than biden.
perfect for the job
she’s drunk and cocained full time lol.
even the arms donors know this is a debacle. and they’re becoming fatigued with providing for the ukrainian moochers.
once trump wins in november, it’s over for ukraine.
complete rubbish. drumpf will do what he’s told.
didn’t trump put a little hat on and kiss the wall. a patriot . lol
russians have been hoping for it to be while now, but it haven’t come to an end.
but it definitely is, and it would appear sooner rather than later.
this, it was nothing more than “thunder runs 2.0”.
it’s not something the uaf could ever sustain, russia is a large territory, uaf moves in, russia pushes them out, uaf loses way more than they gain for a publicity push, zelensky complains for more help, the process continues until finally men of ukraine stop fighting for nato.
yeah. empty worthless land further away from supplies. and while they try to dig in and build strongholds, russian drones pick them apart. and while they try to provide supplies? russian drones pick them apart. and when the stronghold is finished? in come the fabs to level it!
ukrainians are retards.
yeah, tell that to yourself if that makes you feel comfortable. on the other hand, as if russians are capturing big cities. russians often refers town as cities to make it a big deal. the truth is ukranians have captured a lot more russian mainland than what russians captured in the entire year. of course in a few days.
how’s the ato coming along in donbas today?
the ukrainian troops in kursk will most certainly be reduced to nada in a short while while the russians slog on in the efficient way they have, soon pokrovsk and kramatorsk and another soon a rope around zelensky’s neck, swinging in the wind.
well, i hope so, but let’s see. russians are unable to contain them. i don’t understand how ukranians were able to mount this offensive in the first place. russian reconnaissance must be in a sorry state.
it’s not an offensive, it’s essentially a series of suicide raids.
fašistom v kyjeve ešte len padne sánka. už sa pripravuje pre tie fašistické beštie veľké prekvapenie. debilom v usa a eu myslím, cvrkne do gatí!!! svetu mier!!!
many criminals on death row would agree to fight to the last ukro but less evident is the systematic economic rape and bio-murders of the citizens of the globalist’s own countries.
as predicted. the ukrainians are getting their asses kicked in kursk.
but what do you expect from them, competence?
well they were still expanding the battle zone towards around 700 square km on the latest map update. but indeed at what cost? this is just the last thing they could do after they finally discovered they will never breach the 3 defensive lines in donbass. soon the house of cards will collapse🤫
remember when gay putin buttboys thought kiev would fall in less than a week?
heheheh…the dumb bastads…
nobody remembers that.
remember when america won a war. i think it was north v south
russia was near kiev but russia’s leader decided to pull away after negotiations and claims he was misled and today who wants western ukraine anyway? it will be divided up between neighbors.
go on like this… until the last ukrainian!
