the fact is the ukr still hold that kursk territory going on 2 months now. all the weapons and manpower the russ throw at it the tenacious tough ukr hold onto it and are still able to penetrate, come and go between ukr and kursk without hinderance. the kursk people are going to be mighty angry when they return and see how the russ have destroyed their homes and villages.
and how much have they lost in lpr and dpr. and in the end they’ll be pushed out of kursk. 20 plus thousand troops for nothing, no objectives met.
there certainly seem to be a lot of dead and mangled ukrainian military personnel in kursk for folks able to come and go without hindrance. thanks for derping.
