    Russia 6,500,000 million square miles, and Ukraine has taken over 400 of it. The invasion force will eventually be cut off/defeated. Russia is not diverting troops from the eastern front, and this will only speed up their advance.

    I think they've been fighting a war of attrition, but now the gloves are coming off. Ukraine just sent the last of their best troops/equipment there. It was like a hail mary play IMO. So they can do a land swap.

    I am 100% certain beast and pooptin get their information from the same sources. Neither one of them have a clue what is going on.

    Kursk region invasion updates.

    2,000 Russian soldiers have surrendered so far.

    Reports Ukraine troops starting to dig trenches in some areas. Not clear if this is the end of the invasion, or, a fall back secure position as they continue forward.

    Reports Ukraine has crossed the border in two new locations. Not large invasions, but they will complicate pooptins problems.

    On the funny side, Ukraine troops are posting reviews of the restaurants in Kursk. One posted the food was decent, but, the parking lot was too small to park his tank.

    Here is a summary. My concern is that Ukraine did not really advance that far in the first 7 days, against relatively undefended territory with no land mines to contend with. Maybe that was by design; they didn't want to get over-extended, Maybe they have reached good defensive positions where they can dig in.

    I loved reading those restaurant reviews, the guys definitely have a sense of humor.

    Russia diverted the best units and equipment away from the Eastern Front in order to do this incursion.

    This move is like when you're about to lose in Age of Empires II, so you just send all your remaining army the enemies camp to do whatever damage you can before your ultimate defeat.

    Lol. Because everyone knows Ukrainians can't walk across the border... And accept the surrender of locals who are tired of being shat upon by Moscow.

    The suspects name is “Volodomyr Z.”
    Not even joking.

    Real life is funnier than fiction.

    The western mainstream narrative was that Putin did it. I am just curious what the new narrative will be.

    I heard a lot of speculation with a couple different scenarios but I’ve never heard any real evidence for any of them.
