Russia has declared a counter-terrorist operation in the Kursk, Belgorod and Bryansk regions. The decision was made by the Director of the Federal Security Service of Russia, Alexander Bortnikov. By calling it a "counter-terrorist operation," Russia is once again trying to

In an attempt to calm the civilian population, Russian propagandists are leaking the coordinates of military convoys. The destruction of a military convoy near the village of Oktiabrskoye does not prompt Russians to be more careful.

This once again indicates that Russia is unprepared for the unexpected. Due to the suddenness of the attack, Ukraine can fully expect the success of its operation, no matter what its goals are. The fact that this is a serious blow to the reputation of Putin and the command

1/9 The story of a failed and cowardly policy: Ukraine's ongoing incursion in the Kursk region should demonstrate to the entire Western world that there is no need for escalation management with russia. Take by @joni_askola

3/9 Although we can make some educated guesses, we are not fully aware of all of Ukraine's military objectives in this incursion. However, from a political and symbolic standpoint, this has dealt a significant blow to Putin's russia.

Ukraine struck in a direction completely opposite to the main direction of the Russian offensive in the Donetsk region. In this place, the Russian army was unprepared to repel a rapid massive attack. It is reported that the Armed Forces of Ukraine completely control Sudzha.
