It is hard to know reality from speculation in the current fighting in Kursk and surrounding areas inside Russia but one can be sure of one thing. Ukraine is attacking and Russia is retreating. How much area the Ukrainians have captured and hold is not absolutely known but that Ukraine is moving forward into Russia is a fact. The only ones who are making statements about the Ukrainian incursion are the Russians themselves. It is hard to believe Russia since they are constantly promoting disinformation but in this case as it affects their own defense, the statements are backed up with citizens of Russia and some Ukrainian troops publicly posting clashes, retreats, and surrenders of Russian soldiers.
By going into Russia where Russia has little to no defense, Ukraine is forcing putin's hand to either send in reserve reinforcements to the Kursk region or if no reserves exist, then redeploy Russian troops from front line positions. It seems from some satellite images that redeploying from front line positions is the option putin is forced to make and these redloyments are coming under attack from Ukraine because of accurate surveillance and pinpoint bombardment. This tactic of taking the fight to Russia has exposed Russia not only as a weakened power but with a general staff full of strategic failure. Ukraine has realized their strategy of making Russia suffer for their ineptitude is a winning strategy.
How this will all play out in the next few weeks may well be determinative to how this invasion by putin will end. The Russian people are made now to feel the war they allowed to happen inside Ukraine. Well the war is now inside Russia and how that affects the Russian people's stance with the now increasingly worried putin cannot be a good thing for potin. What is also going to happen is a pressure release off the Ukrainian people because now Russia has to focus on protecting it's own territory and not just focused on trying to destroy Ukraine. A brilliant strategy by Ukraine to take the fight to Russia and for now it is working beautifully!
This blog will be an advocate for compassion, curiosity and human survival. When these elements of human nature are being denied, wholly, severally or individually, less than positive human traits are the outcome. It is my wish and hope that my reasonings on a variety of subjects will provide the readers of this blog with personal and public insights. My only motive is to provide a forum for advancing enlightenment. Carl Clark.
