This move gains 🇺🇦 so much: 1. Beyond capturing the station that controls gas flow into Europe, Kursk and the KNPP is critical to war efforts as it makes 95% of Russia’s steel and other critical items. It gives them leverage to get Russia out of other areas like the ZNPP if Ukraine captures the Kursk NPP. 2. US restrictions made Putin believe border defenses were unnecessary /he could commit everything in 🇺🇦. No longer. 3. It changes the entire media narrative which was this creeping advance that had lowered domestic morale and created a Russian fed narrative in international media that Ukraine has no hope, more support is a waste and they just to come to the table. 4. It shows how much Western self-deterrence via unfair restrictions on where and what Ukraine can hit has not only hurt their war efforts, but innocent civilians too. 5. It also puts the US and Germany into an awkward position. It makes their policies look silly and ineffective. And it should give Ukraine some leverage that if they want Ukraine to withdraw from Russia, they need to be given something in return that will improve their chances when just fighting from within their own borders. 6. As the video showing one Russian in Kursk saying “I don’t care who flag I live under as long as they actually protect me,” it makes Putin look weak, makes some realize Putin doesn’t care about them and this entire situation is his fault.

The West could and should have prevented escalation by merely by giving Ukraine enough air defense and equipment to protect civilians + infrastructure let alone whole cities and dozens of soldiers each day.

@dirkhouben9960 Your prediction is looking pretty hilariously wrong. But, no, you’re right. At SOME point they’ll be forced…but it could be in 6 days, 6 weeks, 6 months or when a peace deal is settled upon.
