Why Ukraine's Kursk Invasion Worked

[bababababababa]

Remember when this war was only going to take a few weeks?

[RubenCLeon]

Kursk is a "morale" booster for their Ukrainian population and the troops.
How would history have been changed if the Wehrmacht had been bogged down after 2 years in Poland?
What if the Wehrmacht had invaded Poland and not brought enough fuel or food to reach Warsaw?
What if the Luftwaffe was not able have air dominance after 2 years in Poland?
Why are all of the armchair generals ignoring the incompetence of the invader?
This war should have been over in 3 weeks, or 3 months at most.

What if Poland had invaded Germany in 1941?
Would anyone still be saying Germany was going to win?

These Russians are wild. I didn't know this amount of copium was even possible

I love the Russian cope in these comments. Like, it worked if Ukraine is currently occupying Russian territory for the first time since WW2. Most people would call occupation and taking more territory than your opponent in months a victory but keep on going bro

If you gain a lot of ground very quickly, it's very possible you're just wandering into a giant trap.

Next week on reallifelore: why it didn’t work…..

[citizenpower]

It was no secret. The preparations for the offensive were known, but for some reason there was no preparation to respond to the invasion. Maybe because Putin was sure that Ukraine would not invade, I don't know.

Russian bots are strong in this comment section 😂

The Americans can see EVERYTHING the Russians are doing. It’s just a matter of how much they want to share.

Idk about that training pretext, but from what I know Russia was planning to do a sumy offensive just like their kharkiv offensive and is removing minefields from the border for the planned offensive. Ukraine realized this and silently ammassing troops near sumy before russia finish demining the border. Then all of a sudden, they launch the attack. Russia was caught off guard. Even though they had units in this front planned for the offensive, no one expected this and they took some time to reorganize, especially since this ukrainian force is the most equiped force ukraine had in reserves.

This is a tactical victory for ukraine and probably a diplomatic and moral victory also. But the situation in the east still gets worse, near Pokrovsk, Niu York, Toretsk, etc. This force the AFU to redirect some of their brigades from kursk to prokrovsk to stabilize it. This is the exact opposite what the Ukraine wants, that is to redirect russian forces from pokrovsk to kursk as russia as far as I know, Russia only redirect one reserve brigade from the east, not sure if it was from the pokrovsk front. And now, although Ukraine manage to stabilize the front near pokrovsk, russia is now counter attacking in kursk and is quite successful with it, clearing most of the area near koronevo. Ukraine tried to stop this by flanking them, but to minimal effects so far.

Lol what worked? The Kursk operation was conducted in hopes to stop the Russian offensive in the east in which it didn’t. Zelensky and the Ukrainian command are trying to downplay as Kursk being a buffer zone when in reality it was done to stop the Russians offensive in the east. And now the Russian army in Kursk started a counterattack taking several villages back. Please tell me how did this operation that involved the sacrifice of valuable armored vehicles and troops work?

Ukraine's charm offensive, charm and not much else

[Brandon-ygmw]

Yea but it DIDNT work. It's currently bogged down and didn't force Russia to relocate any units from any.of the other fronts. In fact the Russians are currently gaining massive ground on the other fronts. All it did was force the AFU to relocate forces into Kursk. Ukraine's goals were to capture the main supply highway and the nuclear power plant. Neither of those goals have been achieved. Just because in the first few days it gained some ground doesn't mean it worked.

[StrangerHappened]

The Kursk incursion did NOT work. RU not only did not remove any of the troops from Donbas, but has increased the speed of advancement there THRICE.

[michaelazarov]

It was a failure because what does it helps them with?

[MiguelNavarroPhDGuitarist]

Seriously, this is the dumbest, one sided and partial take on the Kursk front.

[outdoorsrob]

They were lured there. They are now encircled
