We shouldn't stll be askimg this question. Ukraine has been very clear from day one. They want Russia out of Ukrsine.

Buffer zone doesn't make practical sense. This has been a huge PR win and may yet draw Russian forces reliving pressure. Ukraine doesn't have the resources and numbers to hold this territory and why wisely they have already announced they have no plans to.

[antonychipman]

Buffer zone? Will Belgorod be thick enough?

[tidik]

This is not about a buffer zone. It has a much bigger strategic and tactical meaning.

When did Putin say the war will end in three days?

[mrchoudhury]

Whatever Ukraine's goals, it is going to backfire shortly...
Russia is gaining ground in donbas everyday, and they are likely to occupy the land captured...
But if you really think Ukraine can occupy these territory, I genuinely doubt your mental health!!
Ukraine could use these troops in donbas to prevent Russian offensive

For how long will the forces remain in Russia and at what cost to madam Von DER layn cabal

[SuperLeica]

Putin: "Everything is going as planned!" Was Weirdonald Trump involved in the planning?

[nathanengirot]

The media always reveals Kyivs military plans early and further discuss alternative strategies that Moscow uses to counter Kyi. What they did got them off

[kwakuagyapong]

Western media are the most funny thing in the world

They are fighting a war and that's how you fight a war not with red lines imposed by others 😢😢 stop being stup....

[operator]

and nobody in the russian government ever said 3 days. they dont give timeframes. also what is with this obsession with attacking on enemy ground? you really believe the people are just suddenly going to turn on their government or something because a handful of ukrainians crossed the border? this is not rational.

A spokesperson for Ukraine's President has stated the 4 key aims of the Kursk offensive: (1) to highlight the failures of the Russian authorities - their inability to make quick and effective decisions; (2) to push back Russian artillery to better protect Ukrainian border orders; (3) to cut off logistics routes; (4) to transfer the war to Russian territory with its attendant social consequences.

Kiev’s goal ? another milestone …in stupidity 🤪

[miken]

Ukraine/NATO-Russia war had been limited to single Eastern Front, safe to say there is now a Northern Front, Russia fighting style is War of Attrition, fight continues until one side runs out of resources, with two fronts cost will rise more quickly in men, resources, & treasury for both sides, opening up that second front should cause the war to proceed to it's end more quickly.

Russia lost in Afghanistan, Japan, world war 1. Should I keep going?Another Russian SU 34 Jet was Shot Down in the Kursk Region .... That makes FOUR Russian Jets Shot Down in the Kursk Region in 7 Days ... Five Russian Helicopters have also been Shot Down i the Kursk Region which includes FOUR Russian KA 52 Helicopters and One MI .Poo-tin Wanted a ... ..." BUFFER ZONE " Russian forces are rapidly digging a network of trenches in Kursk Oblast, with only one catch: The trenches are 45km behind the border. Russian forces have been developing a trench network that, if fallen back to, would cede Ukraine a massive amount of territory.
