Why did Ukraine launch its 'secret operation' into Russian territory?

Military Analyst, Sean Bell, examines why Ukraine launched its "secret" and "surprise" operation into Russian territory.

He said that from a military perspective you usually "focus on main effort" which would have been in the Donbas but Ukraine's reasons were more to "undermine Putin's position".

Once again, SKYnews interviews always praise Ukraine's actions and are never brave enough to say anything after everything has failed on Ukraine's side.

Last 5 seconds most dignificant in Sean's assessment

[MrRenosingh]

Secret Military Operation vs Special Military Operation. 3... 2... 1... FIGHT

[RoscoPColtrane]

They captured nothing of significance. Now the front is collapsing because they have too few troops left to defend.

Mongolia confirms ICC has jurisdiction limited to Europe only. ECC.

The question was, Why did Ukraine launch an operation into Russia? This guy talked about Putin, never answered the question, the next question, he changes the subject to long range missiles.

When the goal was to "undermine Putins position" it not only failed, but makes no sense at all. Because when we look at the political landscape in Russia, he would be replaced by a hardliner, that can't be in the intrest of Ukraine or the political west. And to make people talk about the war, this didn't already happened with the shelling of Belgorod or the beach of Crimea? As a result, there will be more volunteers to the army, good job Ukraine. De facto the ukranian forces have left their well fortified positions to drive around in some open fields and tiny hamlets of Kursk with unstable supply lines while in the eastern front the forces lack of manpower and everything. The goal seemed to be to take the nuclear power plant, but this failed. One of the worst decisions ever made in military history, was it planned by the british MoD?

because they are playing a public relations war but not a strategic/military war.

I would suggest the reason's for Ukraine's secret operation are pretty darn obvious:
1) The last time they told their 'allies' what they were going to do those 'allies' leaked the information like a sieve.
2) Given the combination of poor support and protection for the Russians their 'allies' have been 'providing', what other option did Ukraine have?

Two weeks ago the very same gentleman was so enthusiastic about the Kursk invasion but now he seems to be very disappointed

Sharp analysis put in thought through words in under 4 minutes.

[iinderr]

Nth time listening about the plausible reasons for the Kursk operation, to which Russia is not even bothered reacting to.

[Bill-edhr]

This was no secret mission. This was a stupid mission

[esQmo]

They did that operation to try and divert people attention. They were hoping Russia will withdraw some troops from the eastern front, but failed miserably 😢😢😢

[frankhalsey-yc]

This guy is a military spinster not military anaylist, he knows how to polish a turd. Ukraine is done!

[MarcF.Nielssen]

Bell got so much wrong that he would have been taken off the screen by most networks.

[StrongLuxa]

Didnt Mr. Bell said, that UA will be in 2 weeks in Tokmak .. (now 6 months later I dont see a change)
