Great news, 24 Ukrainian soldiers did not want to get blown up as US proxies and peacefully surrendered to Russian forces in Kursk oblast.
Snip:
"Twenty-four servicemen from the 22nd separate mechanized brigade of the armed forces of Ukraine surrendered to the Russian army in an organized manner near the village of Komarovka in the Kursk Direction. Before surrendering, the Ukrainian military contacted us through the FREE_SOLDIER2022 channel," he said.
How likely is it that Ukraine's invasion will succeed? It seems like a suicide mission, honestly. No army has ever survived invading Russia.
They're going to be fucked when winter rolls in.
I feel bad for any non-azov Ukrainian soldiers who were forced into this war by US meddling.
You have to go die in the war against Russia because Lindsey Graham doesn't want Putin's hands on the lithium honey
Wait Ukraine has Lithium?
per nyt in 2022
You mean it's not about defending the front line of democracy!?
well yeah.. of course it is... just like always... there just happen to be some other side-benefits!
Breadbasket of Europe too
It failed when they failed to capture the Kursk NPP within 48 hours.
This. That was their goal, which was impossible.
It's a lot btw. The forced conscription videos coming out of Ukraine are insane. Straight up press ganging and kidnapping in broad daylight of men who are sometimes in their 40s or 50s, getting beaten and thrown in a van.
Russia should provide a helpline for these conscripts to surrender and move to Russia to avoid death. Although Ukrainians will probably kill their families if they surrender.
That's exactly what the Free_Soldier2022 channel is
" using a specially created Telegram channel for this purpose"
What even counts as succeeding? There's no way it causes Russia to surrender (i.e. give everything back to Ukraine, including Crimea), and Russia is already perfectly willing to have an actual negotiated peace, but Ukraine isn't.
Just capturing Kursk? That seems pretty unlikely, and it wouldn't do anything anyway. Then again the whole incursion into Russia was dumb in the first place.
Someone shoud remind them of the last battle of Kursk. History repeated as farce.
it seems like a desperate flailing because they have nothing left to lose at this point
are they still gonna be there when winter rolls in?
Probably not lmao
Seems like Russia's long-range strategic strike capabilities make it inevitable that Ukraine's force will be fucked before wintertime.
About as likely as me getting a date with Cara Delevingne lmao
