Ukraine Occupies Kursk: What Next?

On Tuesday, hundreds of pro-Ukrainian troops launched an incursion into the Russian oblast of Kursk and captured Russian territory. So in this video, we'll look at the history of Ukraine's incursions, why this is different and what might happen next.

It's also worth mentioning that, while there have been some reports of Ukrainian F16s in Kursk, the lack of video evidence this deep into the offensive suggests that Ukraine have not deployed F16s to Kursk (yet).

Ukraine has not invaded Russia. The Kursk People's Republic merely asked for external support.

[nozhki-busha]

We went from "Kyiv in 3 days" to "Kursk is being invaded" in 3 years of war.

Putin : How's the invasion of Ukraine going?
Gherasimov : You mean the defense of Kursk
Putin : The.... WHAT?

[Sun_or_Lions]

Putin 2022: Russia has no borders.
Ukraine 2024: Okay 😂
Putin: That's not what i meant.😢

Breaking news!
99.5% of Kursk oblast has voted to be a part of the Ukrainian federation.

Ah yes, Ukrainian Special Military Operation

[Real-qkpm]

My god this really is like seeing someone’s HOI4 game gone wrong.

[WaiGee_]

Dont worry, its just a special military operation, not an invasion

[RomWatt]

Russia is the second strongest army in Russia.

[Sol_Invictus_]

Remember when Russia said this would be over in 2 weeks

[Real_MrDev]

From a 3-15 days offensive operation to a defensive operation, uh.

[Aberrant]

Russia: "Yoink!"
Ukraine: "Yoink!"
Russia: "Wait, that's illegal!" 😨

2022: Russia has the 2nd best army in the world.
2023: Russia has the 2nd best army in Ukraine.
2024: Russia has the 2nd best army in Russia.

Time for Russia to recognize the "new territorial reality" in kursk

[bobbitibob]

This event will either be known in history as a genius move by Ukraine or a stupid move by Ukraine. No in between.

[agapitoliria]

Glad for your wording of "normal reasons" describing the Freedom of Russia Legion. It's sad we have to usually come to long explanations for a group who's just fighting against an imperialist that sent them to die.

[staskozak]

An interesting fact, Sudza was once temporarily the capital of Soviet Ukraine. Therefore, games about historical lands can be played together.

And an even more interesting fact is that the distance to the Kursk nuclear power station is getting closer...

Russia attacks and invades Ukraine
Ukraine defend and attacks Russian territory
Putin : surprised Pikachu face

[joeyjojojrshabadoo]

Wow, imagine hating Putin for not being ultra nationalist *enough*. Crazy.
