This isn’t even war.
It’s just a total terrorist rampage.
What is even the point? Just to make Russians get even more aggressive in calling for Putin to nuke KEEV?
Ukrainian forces staged an overnight ambush on a Russian convoy 25 miles inside the international border in Russia’s Kursk province, as the Kremlin declared a federal emergency and said it was transferring extra forces to try to snuff out a four-day incursion that has badly damaged its credibility.
Damaged whose credibility?
The terrorists’ or the victims’?
A video circulated by Russian military bloggers showed a destroyed convoy, with bodies just visible inside some trucks, on the E38 east-west highway at Oktyabrskoe, a location far deeper inside Russia than any previously confirmed fighting since Ukraine’s forces crossed the border on Tuesday.
Commentators said the attack, reminiscent of Ukrainian attacks on Russian troops besieging Kyiv in the first weeks of the war, demonstrated an effective hit-and-run strategy, but the incursion appeared likely to draw an escalating response from the Kremlin, and its overall outcome remains profoundly uncertain.
They are just killing random people.
How is that “an effective strategy”?
Strategy for what? It’s not a military strategy. Even people in the Ukraine are saying this.
Russia’s defence ministry said at lunchtime that it was transferring military reserves to the Kursk region, according to the Interfax news agency, including Grad rockets, artillery and tanks. A video released by Zvezda, official Russian military media, showed a convoy of lorries carrying armoured vehicles down a highway.
Alexei Smirnov, the acting governor of Kursk oblast, said Moscow had declared a state of federal emergency in the morning and he urged residents to “stay calm and keep up your fighting spirit, support each other, do not give in to panic and despondency”. So far 3,000 Russian civilians have been evacuated away from the fighting.
This is supposed to be embarrassing for… Russia?
The Ukraine is so blown out, they are attacking randos on the streets – these are military men, soldiers, going in and just massacring civilians.
It seems like that should be embarrassing for the Ukraine.
The condition of the Armed Forces of Ukraine is deteriorating rapidly in the Kursk region
Strikes have disrupted Ukrainian logistics, ammunition supply & reserves

This Guardian report is bizarre.
But they’re counting on people not seeing these videos of the massacres, and pretending this is a military operation.
The Ukraine itself doesn’t even claim this serves a strategic purpose.
