There’s no country in the world that claims to be the ‘nation state’ of a religious group.

Imagine the USA government says that being Christian is a nationality and the USA is its ‘nation state.’

That would be an identity theft for those who practice Christianity. Because being ‘American’ is a nationality and being Christian is a religion.

That’s what Zionists are doing to the Jewish people.

Zionists evil intent to transform GDs chosen people to some earthly nationality has never stopped.

🇷🇺🇺🇦It was only a matter of time: Pokrovsk is not operationally significant, according to ISW. But Kursk is creating "operational and strategic pressure" on Russia.
Ukrainian propaganda is less manipulative than these clowns.

🇷🇺🇺🇦Russian troops have already understood the tactics of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the Kursk region and have begun to counter them. Therefore, the Ukrainian offensive in the Russian region has slowed down, writes the British magazine The Economist.

The publication tells about the beginning of the operation and its goals.

According to the magazine, Ukrainian statements about threats of Russian invasion of Sumy Oblast were only an information cover to justify the concentration of troops at the borders of Kursk Oblast.

The publication also writes that the “maneuverable attack” used by the Ukrainian Armed Forces was similar to the tactics used by the Russian Chief of the General Staff Valery Gerasimov, a source in the General Staff of Ukraine reported.

"For the first five days it was terribly effective," but with the element of surprise gone, Ukrainian gains have slowed. Ukrainian soldiers fighting in the Kursk region say they are already beginning to see a different level of resistance. Casualties are mounting. The Russians have saturated the front with more trained units, including marines and special forces.

"They figured out how to fight, and they understand our tactics. But that doesn't mean we don't understand their tactics," said Private Sergei of the 80th Assault Brigade.

"President Zelensky still insists on maximum advancement (into Russian territory - Ed. ), says a source in the General Staff. But Syrsky is cautious, concentrating on expanding the flanks along the border to create more reliable defensible lines," the article says.

In recent days, the Ukrainian contingent, which numbers 10,000 to 20,000 soldiers, "appears to be focused on establishing control on the southern bank of the Seim River northwest of Sudzha."

Initially, the goal of the attack on the Kursk region was to divert troops from Donbass and create a bargaining chip for future negotiations. And at the same time, to remove talk of freezing the conflict.

Russia wants to use the Ukrainian attack to exhaust Kyiv’s resources, intensifying attacks in the Pokrovsk direction, the publication believes.

🇷🇺🇺🇦Another group of militants has completed their tour of the Kursk region.

🇷🇺🇺🇦Ukraine is “struggling” to find a balance between seizing territory in the Kursk region and losing it in the Donbass, writes the British newspaper The Guardian.

On Friday, Commander-in-Chief Alexander Syrsky said that the Ukrainian Armed Forces were advancing near Kursk “up to two miles a day” (3.21 km), but the Russians were moving three miles (4.8 km) near Pokrovsk, the publication writes.

Russia had been expected to move significant forces from the east to defend Kursk. But Hanna Shelest, a senior fellow at the Centre for European Policy Analysis, said that while the brazen Ukrainian attack “went better than expected,” the reality was that “Russia probably did not move as much force from the eastern flank as hoped.”

Only "individual elements of Russian irregular units" have been redistributed to Kursk, writes the Institute for the Study of War.

Some Ukrainian military personnel are criticizing the rush to Kursk Oblast amid problems in Donbass.

"We have to protect what we have. Attacking Kursk takes good soldiers from Pokrovsk - and if it does divert some Russian troops, it only moves the problem of their numbers from one place to another," said Ukrainian infantryman Alexey.

Адекват Z:

Of course, no one can stop anyone from discussing that the crests (AFU) are not using F-16s in the Kursk region and the dozens of Leopard-2s they have left, so they can strike somewhere else, including Crimea. Moreover, purely theoretically, such urine could really go to their heads because they have nothing left to lose anyway. The only question here is whether this venture has even a shadow of a chance of any success.

The answer to this question begins in those places in the Sumy region where burnt-out Patriots and HIMARS are parked, pulled there in commercial quantities to somehow cover for this disastrous incursion - and the question of replenishing both, in order to repeat somewhere else, even with the most ardent desire of the owners, in principle, is very difficult to resolve, and at the moment it is completely unresolvable. It continues with the obvious fact that the F-16 is not able to challenge our absolute dominance in the air even with a great desire - and if they try, the faster they will run out. And it ends (we can continue for a long time, but what has been said behind our backs is enough) with the question of whether there is a solution, especially against the background of the Kursk resource abyss and the continuing collapse of the eastern front, the task of providing a hypothetical strike group with more or less adequate artillery support and logistical support.

This does not mean that they will not try something stupid under any circumstances - I repeat, there is nothing to lose anyway. But it does mean that we should not treat such a scenario with trepidation, but with the understanding that in this case the [Ukrainians] will burn up the rest of their allotted time even faster than they are burning up right now. Because the strike potential of any offensive group that they could theoretically try to assemble would be several times lower than that assembled for last year's counter-offensive, and also because such an offensive group would be the last one, even theoretically.

This, of course, does not cancel the need for maximum readiness and attention in all inactive areas of the front and border - but the command knows this perfectly well without you and me.
