It is forbidden to use American weapons from Ukraine to hit Russia. So Ukraine is hitting Russia from Russia.

You know what happens when you get greedy and cocky don't you? You lose

[roldandice]

That's what you called special military operations

[Wizardof]

It's a special F16 operation, not a war.

[RickWalkerSaunders]

Russia is saving face from embarrassment, they underestimated Ukraine, happens when the bully got punched in the face, so what will Putin will do, invade Ukraine?

[chrismitchell]

48% of Kursk speak Ukrainian it is part of the Kingdom of Ukraine and not Russian so this will create a new border as Lavrov stated Russia has no borders!

[ganlet]

They got resupplied so they're back on the offense.

[Dutchfr-dd]

they should take russian territory and trade it for ukraine territory and peace

[frankmenchaca]

Congratulations on Ukraine's special military operation.

[strballistik]

It's called you take some of their land, they'll take some of your land, trade it back if need be.

[foomoo]

Yes, surprising that this has not happened sooner, including attacks into Belarus who essentially joined this war on side of Russia day 1. Why let the enemy choose a battle zone limited to a region of their choosing?

[sergiip]

Kursk region is historical territory of Ukraine that were annexed by Russia 100 years ago. Both can play this game mr putin

[peterweicker]

Most likely it's a large raid, but it's also a demonstration of independence, initiative and operational security. Ukraine is showing that it is not a client or vassal state which will have settlement terms negotiated on their behalf.
Evidence that the Ukrainians are preparing defensible positions on Russian territory would be a key indicator of their intentions.

[agresseur]

Ukraine should lay claim to this region that used to be part of Duchy of Kiev.

[sloansarabia]

Like Dolittle's raiders on Japan! Moralizing/ demoralizing depending on your side!

[EdLeslie-hw]

Russia is discovering (as have many invaders) the meaning of the quotation... "WHEN YOU SOE THE WIND, YOU REAP THE WHIRLWIND" 🇺🇦

[walhospalisa]

Ukraine is only carrying out a Special Military Operation (SMO). After conducting a referendum in the Kursk People's Republic, things will return back to normal. Slava Ukraina.

"The best defense is a good offense."

[jeepguy]

Haha!! Take that Putin!! How do you like it when the war is on your land?!?

The Ukranians are heading right for the Kursk NPP, the 3rd largest in Russia.
It provides power for 48% of iron ore production, 13.5% of steel, 19% of all ferrous metals, 9.6% of meat and 19.5% sugar of Russia's entire state production.
If the Ukranians can shut it down then russia's economy will end.
