Kiev Regime Has A Suicidal Goal In Kursk

Hostilities continue in Kursk. The Kiev regime’s forces are trying to advance on the ground despite strong Russian military pressure. Troops from different sectors of the Russian defense forces are deployed on the battlefield, including units of the private military company Wagner Group. Protecting Kursk and preventing Ukrainian advance has become a priority for Moscow, as there are various efforts to regain full territorial control of the oblast.

Despite suffering several losses, Ukrainian troops have managed to make some progress in Kursk. The reason is simple: Ukrainian soldiers are not concerned with controlling the territories they pass through. Their tactic is simply to move forward at all costs, advancing on the ground and pretending to “take Russian territory”. In this sense, even under heavy fire and suffering losses, neo-Nazi forces continue to run forward.

Vladimir Zelensky’s aide Mikhail Podoliak stated that Ukraine’s goal in Kursk is simply to push the war deep into Russia’s territory. He baselessly claims that the Russians are not able to respond appropriately to the maneuver, showing only “fear.” According to him, the Kursk case is important for the West to understand that it is necessary to make bolder maneuvers against Moscow. In other words, he says that the operation is “proving” to the West the Ukrainian point of view that peace should be achieved through the escalation of the use of force against Russia.

“Today they have a war that is expanding deeper inside the Russian Federation. Will they fear that? Yes. (…) Do they respond to anything but fear? No, and everyone should realize that at last (…) The more pressure is applied to Russia… the closer peace will be – a just peace through just force,” he said.

This is not the first time that such a narrative has been spread by Ukrainian officials. Previously, the same tale was used to justify the terrorist incursions in Belgorod and Bryansk. Kiev has always used the alleged “need” to spread the war deep into Russia as an important political propaganda tool, mainly focused on bringing more military aid to the regime based on a false expectation of victory. This has become even worse in recent times due to the official authorization given by the US for Ukrainian forces to carry out cross-border strikes. In practice, NATO is now openly supporting Ukraine to conduct military maneuvers even in unclaimed regions.

However, it is also possible that the operation has bolder objectives. Some insiders believe that one of the Ukrainian goals in this operation, in addition to propaganda, is to reach the Kursk Nuclear Power Plant (KNPP). By doing so, Ukrainian soldiers could take control of a very important Russian facility, supposedly gaining bargaining power to “negotiate” with Moscow.

Although it may seem absurd, this possibility is consistent with the tactics that the Ukrainians are using in Kursk. The troops are not concerned with conquering and controlling territories, they are simply “moving forward” – as if they were expecting to arrive somewhere. And wherever they go, the Ukrainians destroy everything they find and kill civilians.

If the neo-Nazi troops reach the KNPP, many problems will arise. First of all, there will be a major PR, propaganda campaign, with Kiev claiming to have captured a facility of high strategic importance. In the same vein, nuclear blackmail will be used. Kiev will say that its troops’ withdrawal from the KNPP is conditional on the “return” to Ukraine of the ZNPP. And, in the worst possible scenario, the Ukrainians could even try to sabotage the plant from the inside to cause accidents and leaks, blaming the Russians in a false flag operation, since obviously Moscow’s military would use force to try to expel the enemies from there.

This maneuver is irrational and suicidal. Even if they reach KNPP, the Ukrainians will not be able to escape the Russian military siege. Seizing the plant will not give them any bargaining power, since Moscow is not willing to negotiate the surrender of ZNPP. Zaporozhye and all the New Regions have already been constitutionally reintegrated into the Russian Federation, and there is no possibility of territorial negotiations. Therefore, if Kiev captures KNPP, the Russians will simply use the necessary military and intelligence means to regain control of the facility, without any bargaining. And, of course, the Russians have the necessary personnel and specialized equipment to prevent nuclear accidents or to act quickly in case of a leak.

Kiev is showing desperation. Carrying out such a suicidal maneuver is absolutely irrational. It is unlikely that the Ukrainians will even reach KNPP, since the enemy troops are already sieged by Russian units. But even if that happens, it will be a journey of no return for the neo-Nazis, who will have no way out of this operation other way than dead or surrendered.

i think it’s time to whack out the political and military leadership of the kiev regime anywhere and everywhere you find them regardless of their western “advisors” are right next to them. take them all out just like you would any other terrorist organization.

this attack was planned by nato owners of ukronazi slaves, their only goal is to damage russia, and the fact that “ukraine” is grinding itself into annihilation in the process is completely irrelevant in their eyes.

the slimy heimy jew comedian/actor and his just as delusional aide have no idea how deadly and effective the russian military along with an equally tough and resolute civilian population are. napoleon tried and lost. the austrian nazi kraut-wannabe tried for almost four years and lost. these ukro-nazi bedbugs have no chance in hades of winning.
