Ukraine has taken control of 28 settlements in the Kursk Oblast in western Russia， forcing more than 120，000 people to evacuate， the acting governor announced at a Russian government meeting．
On the 12th, Acting Governor Smirnov of Kursk Oblast in western Russia, which is under a cross-border attack by the Ukrainian military, said at a government meeting that 28 settlements in the oblast are under the control of the Ukrainian military and that 12 residents have been killed so far. Another source Ukrainian military targets cross-border attack on Belgorod Oblast, Russian residents continue to evacuate On the 12th, Russian President Putin held a meeting to discuss the situation in Kursk Oblast in southwestern Russia, where Ukrainian military continues to launch cross-border attacks, and expressed the view that the aim of the attacks is “to give us an advantageous position in future (peace) negotiations.” Putin has maintained a tough stance, but cross-border attacks by the Ukrainian military are poised to expand into neighboring regions, and the number of displaced residents continues to grow. Putin said the attack was also aimed at creating antagonism in Russian society and dealing a blow to domestic politics, and called on the Ministry of Defense, including the Federal Security Service (FSB), to use all their resources to repel it. At the meeting, Acting Governor of the region, Smirnov, announced that Ukrainian forces had invaded an area 12 kilometers from the border and 40 kilometers wide, and that more than 120,000 people had been evacuated. Twelve people were killed, 28 settlements were seized, and the status of about 2,000 people was unknown.

>>1 March into Moscow and take Putin’s head Logistics? Just take it from the Russian army They seem incredibly thin, so it’ll be no problem Poland and Finland will violate their airspace to provide support In reality, a separate force will march from the Baltic States If Japan were to carry out an operation to retake the Northern Territories, Russia would be screwed Muneo deserves the death penalty.
>>1 The Russian army will send reinforcements from the Crimean area, leaving them thin, and the main target is the destruction of the Crimean Bridge by the Ukrainian army. However, if we hesitate to send reinforcements from the Crimean area, then a Ukrainian diversionary operation will come closer to Moscow.
>>1 At the very least, the 120,000 people who have evacuated know about the situation in Russia directly, regardless of Russian press restrictions and information censorship. If the damage and deaths of the war are gradually conveyed to non-combatant citizens in Russia in this way, it will increase anti-war sentiment, and it will become easier to create an opportunity for a civil revolution. One day, the Russian Revolution may suddenly occur, like the fall of the Berlin Wall.
>>3 It’s similar to the crappy shogi I used to play with my brother. Just when it seemed like Moya was sure to lose, he invaded the enemy camp with 1 gold, 2 silver, and 1 dragon, and from there he mass-produced Tokin, turning the tables in a spectacular fashion! For Ukraine to win in the same way, they would have to mass-produce Tokin, which means Russian soldiers would either defect (and join the Russian rebels), or turn Ukrainian infantry into Tokin with the latest Western weapons! .
Geolocated footage shows Russian forces counterattacking in the Kursk Oblast and clearing the village of Kremyanoye. Russian infantry were seen walking down the village’s main street among several dead Ukrainian bodies. The Ukrainians appear to have been pushed back to a forest near the road leading to Korenyevo. This advance will significantly hinder any future Ukrainian attempts to invade and occupy the key city of Korenvo.
Even if they invade Russian territory, if they go too deep it will be difficult to maintain the occupied territory. It is likely a diversion to attract Russian military power and a political purpose to prevent the border from being finalized in its current state, so they will probably only advance moderately. It is certainly unthinkable that they will aim for Moscow.
120,000 refugees represents the biggest economic damage Ukraine has caused to Russia in the past two years. We have to continue to provide food, clothing and shelter to these 120,000 people.
>>26 I see, so if they leave only the necessary buildings on the Ukrainian side and clear the residential areas, Moscow can allocate its resources to providing food, clothing and shelter for the Russian residents who live there.
The phone call with Trump may have been a turning point. I don’t know if it was because Trump pushed for a ceasefire in the currently occupied territories, or if Trump suggested they take Kursk instead.
It’s fine as long as they are unilaterally wreaking havoc on other countries, but they panic when the same thing is done within their own territory. “Just go ahead and do it” becomes “What are our Putin and the military doing?” What Putin fears most is demands for a ceasefire and pressure from within the country.
120,000 is roughly the population of the Shimane Prefectural Government Office and the area around the Shimane Nuclear Power Plant. That would be headline news.
I think they could commit genocide without holding back if it was on Russian territory, but I think they can’t do it because the invading army is not as strong as Ukraine’s. It’s likely that later on it will come out that there were actually a lot of soldiers from country A in there.
120,000 people evacuated is amazing. I wonder if that’s the maximum number of people evacuated during the Great East Japan Earthquake (although I don’t know). Also, the populations of Russia and Japan aren’t that different.
>>54 It’s a rural area a few kilometers from the border You feel like war is close by But the information is from the center after all, so you don’t know until you’re there It’s not that depopulated In the first place, the area around Moscow and Ukraine is the center of the Russian sphere It’s not as dramatically depopulated as Far Eastern Siberia or Greenland It’s about the same size as a rural area in Europe About the size of Iwate Prefecture.
I think the A-10 is the aircraft that Russia is truly afraid of. If the A-10 could take Russian artillery fire head-on and shoot down an Avenger, there would be no way it could win against the Russian ground forces.
