Summary of Kursk kamikaze attack: The price of Ukraine’s foolish gamble is becoming clearer by the day
#nevent1q…9hsg
The Kursk incursion by Kiev into Russian territory was a disastrous move, resulting in significant losses for Ukraine. The operation aimed to pressure Moscow into negotiations but instead hardened Russia’s stance. By diverting elite troops from other fronts, Ukraine suffered rapid defeats, with key locations falling to Russian forces. The incursion also aimed to push Western allies to provide deeper military support, a move which backfired as it only worsened the situation for Ukraine. The Kursk Kamikaze was a reckless endeavor that has backfired spectacularly, causing severe backlash and criticism towards Zelensky's regime both domestically and internationally. Ultimately, the ill-conceived operation has only weakened Ukraine's position and strengthened Russia's resolve.
