What the fall of Pokrovsk could mean for Ukraine
Ukraine’s incursion into Kursk Oblast fails to thwart Russia’s advancement towards Pokrovsk. The loss of this key city could have far-reaching consequences for the entire Ukrainian front in Donbas

@space_stations @jetcitystar: They would not be of use in Ukraine because they are facing a huge amount of Russian GBAD with no way to suppress it. Other militaries aren't necessarily facing that same problem set. There is no shortage of people who believe that attack helicopters are completely irrelevant on the 21st century battlefield though. Poland's Apache procurement has faced a lot of criticism. I don't necessarily subscribe to that view, but it is not debatable that Apaches would be a worthwhile investment for Ukraine. They would be promptly shot down.

@Eriq49xx @PaulConRO: Yes. The United States has not had a coherent foreign policy strategy since the Bush Admin (a controversial strategy, but a strategy nonetheless). Obama, Trump, and Biden Admins have all been directionless.

"President Joe Biden approved the plan for delivering humanitarian aid to Gaza via a floating military pier despite warnings from within the U.S. government that rough waves could pose significant challenges"
Of course he did.
We still don't know if DoD has to pay for this disaster out of their own budget too. https://twitter.com/yashar/status/1828582893092048897#m

@KyivIndependent: Thank you President Biden, thank you Jake Sullivan for giving Russia the time to do this. History will look negatively at their weak decisions and inaction

RT @dim0kq: 🚨 Kursk offensive breakthrough: Day 1.
This is how the units we support made it - the very initial breakthrough. Russians surrendered to them en masse.
This thread will help you understand why Ukraine won the battle of Kursk border. You can support the units directly.

@Alec99053772281 @OlgaBazova @squatsons: Ukraine never had 7 Patriots, they have 3. A Patriot system has never been confirmed destroyed. The most that was confirmed were 2 of the +6 launchers from system, and another launcher was damaged recently, so 3 Patriot launchers at most were confirmed throughout the whole war.

@SteveCo64124536 @KyivIndependent: The goal is to allow Ukraine to defend itself as best as possible, give Ukraine the weapons they need so they can win the war and take back the territory Russia illegally occupies, and weaken the Russian military. Ukraine isn’t able to defend itself as effectively if the same aircraft launching glide bombs at the country are now out of ATACMS range. They should’ve been allowed to strike with ATACMS and destroy those aircraft a couple months ago, but the US was too scared of escalation and still is.
The only option now, is to give Ukraine long range cruise missiles like JASSM, Storm Shadow to strike air bases further than 300km away, or develop another missile like ATACMS with a further range to hit those air bases. It was an important opportunity that they purposefully decided not to act on. It’s almost like US is doing everything they can to make sure Ukraine doesn’t win the war but does lose too, and protect Russian military assets in Russia, while Russia can launch 328 missiles and drones at Ukraine in 24 hours and fly missiles over Poland without being shot down.
