Ukraine's Kursk Op Slows as Russian Gains Speed Up

Update on the conflict in Ukraine for August 25, 2024…

- Western media admits Ukraine has dangerously overextended itself through its Kursk incursion;

- Western media claims Russia is unable to use glide bombs in Kursk because of poor “air-control systems,” however, glide bombs are used primarily to break heavy fortifications which the Western media admits Ukraine is not building in Kursk;

- Despite claims that Russia’s response was “disjointed,” Ukraine’s Kursk operation has become a liability, costing it irreversibly lost territory along the actual line of contact;

- The more territory Ukraine attempts to hold in Kursk, the more troops and equipment it must divert from the actual line of contact;

- Western media reports admit that Russian progress in the Donbass has accelerated since the Kursk incursion began;

- Ukraine is not building the type of fortifications required to hold onto Kursk in the long-term with Western officials/analysts admitting that once Russia brings in sufficient reinforcements, uprooting Ukraine is inevitable;

- US military assistance to Ukraine continues to shrink, with the most recent package featuring the same items (without quantities noted) as previous packages, suggesting the US is drawing from its insufficient monthly production;
