I doubt it. It is surprising to me that the Ukrainian force hasn’t been quickly expelled though.

Putin has already been to Iran and North Korea with his begging bowl for equipment. There’s been Iranian troops in Crimea since 2022 in “support rolls” and the Russian/North Korea strategic partnership treaty signed a couple of months ago does apparently open the door for North Korean troops to fight for Russia in Ukraine according to US military intelligence. Between Putin and Kim Jong Un and how unstable they both are you really couldn’t write of North Korea entering the arena with troops on the ground.
Land to bargain with, people to trade and a poke in the eye for Russia.It’s an intriguing situation. Ukraine has deployed a highly mobile force into Russia - and we shouldn’t get carried away, 15 km into Russia is nothing. It would like trying crush Birmingham by seizing Meridian. So Ukraine is seeking something else, even if it’s trying to alleviate the pressure elsewhere.
Whatever, Nazi Russia is embarrassed and even that is an achievement.
I am more interested in the increase in attacks on the illegally occupied Crimea. Because the Russian offensives are running out of steam.
Ukraine is not going to take Moscow, they have to win by other means, and this makes the Russians look silly and stretches their forces.
Genuine question, what kind of force would be needed to take Kursk?
Ffs Tony, he didn't go there with a begging bowl, he went to offer them weapons.Putin has already been to Iran and North Korea with his begging bowl for equipment.

I don't think it's been reported anywhere that he's gone begging?Ffs Tony, he didn't go there with a begging bowl, he went to offer them weapons.
He's doing exactly what he told us he'd do, arm the enemies of the west.
Honestly, it's incredible that Putin tells every fucker what he's planning and yet some completely different narrative somehow miraculously makes its way into the mainstream media.
Well someone needs to tell @skybluetony176 that.I don't think it's been reported anywhere that he's gone begging?

They should have been ‘glassed’ already surely?Probably about 10x what Ukraine committed to this op at least.
Realistically though, I think if Ukraine got close to capturing Kursk NPP they would get glassed

NPP?Nothing has happened that's anywhere close to reaching the threshold for Russia to use nuclear weapons so far. In the event that Ukraine captures a Russian NPP, and likely the tactical nuclear weapons storage facility also within Kursk Oblast is a different matter though.
Presumably, nuclear power plant.NPP?
They aren't going to use nukes. There are no red lines, despite what they keep saying.
If there were no red lines they wouldn't have started a war....
I wonder why Putin ordered the evacuation of 76,000 Kursk residents. Almost as if he thought something really bad was going to happen in the area.
Zaparozhe NPP on fire.
Zelensky is accusing Russia of setting it on fire, Russia accuses Ukr of hitting it with a drone.
It wouldn't be the first time Ukr has hit the NPP if this is the case. The cooling towers are a little way from the reactors so hopefully this won't escalate into chernobyl 2.0 but this is pretty fucked up.

I gave up Geography when I was 13, never was a strong point of mine.Zaporozhe and Kursk are nowhere near each other.

Having said that, I was surprised at that evacuation.
Which ways the prevailing wind blowing?They evacuated from the border area which has become a combat zone, I don't find that to be a surprising move, the Ukrainians did the same on their side of the border.
