Ukraine-Russia war: How long can Ukraine hold Kursk?

Our security and defence analyst Professor Michael Clarke suggests that while its capture by Ukraine is impressive, it may not make strategic sense to hold Kursk long-term.

Give Michael his own show where he can talk as long as he wants.

Ukraine doesn't "hold" Kursk. They are just 20 km beyond the border. Misleading title.

[СтойкоСтойков-шп]

Let's be clear Ukraine doesn't hold Kursk city! Only 3% of Kursk district!

"how long can Ukraine hold Kursk?"

7 months, that's how much they lasted

[HA-nxqn]

Crossing and getting into Russia has never been an issue or problem. GETTING OUT though… ask Napoleon and Hitler how it went…

This guy is arguably the best western commentator on this topic so far. Not pushing narratives or going with the hype of the moment, just plain objective.

Always a pleasure to see Michael Clarke give some much needed sober analysis.

But Sky, the title really should read "How long can the Ukrainians hold onto their gains in Kursk oblast" or something like that. They don't have control of Kursk city, that's quite a distance from where they are operating.

He is good, he doesn't do propaganda, just the facts

Wait until the supply routes get cut off. Weird military strategy

[kevingort]

Supply lines and roads cut off. They are not going home.

MICHAEL CLARKE should analyze the war in Ukraine more often, . he is the best to me!

It's nice to see Michael Clarke back on the screen talking about Ukraine again.

This man needs to make his own YouTube channel to talk about military. I love his voice

[MsJNix]

I am no expert, but shouldn't the Ukrainians be defending their own territory? To go into Russia with no plan how to get out seems like a bad plan.

[Xtremedia]

Zelensky adventurism with his bobble-headed advisors in the west made the biggest F up with this.

[theoavg]

Hold Kursk? First they need to reach Kursk

[robp]

This guy is much smarter than those idiots on CNN.

[Ballerusso]

Getting into Russia is easy because of how large the frontline is.
BUT in the other hand getting out is a death wish...

[Mgoter-jcpr]

It’s a really dumb move, waste of manpower and equipment
