Can Russia halt it? Yes. Will Ukraine benefit from it? No.

Why would they? Russia is winning and Ukraine cannot defeat them.

@bertilcoolson3922 Am I scared? No. Are you a mindless bot? Yes.

@javierpatag3609 Wow, it's incredible that you actually believe all of that when Russia is still marching on in Donbas.
1
@javierpatag3609 Oh sure, you are comparing a few militias defending themselves from Ukraine with the whole Russian army. See, this is why I cannot take you seriously.
1
@javierpatag3609 No, I did not, but I am hardly surprised that you cannot read. I measured it by the fact that despite Ukraine's desperate gamble Russia is still advancing through the Donbas. In the meantime the Ukrainians do what of any value in Kursk?

@HyperScorpio8688 In WW1 France won despite German soldiers still being in France.
1
@javierpatag3609 Wow. I guess you don't understand that that means that Russia has not diverted men from Donbas. Almost as if they have more resources than Ukraine.
1
@javierpatag3609 Yes, they are evacuating citizens, almost as if this were something states do during war time. As for resistance, is that the reason why the Ukrainians left Giri and Ozerky?

@javierpatag3609 No, you are just interpreting what I write in the way you want, building a strawman where I claim that you can determine the outcome of a war by the amount of territory seized. It's not. It's about resources, it's the value of the territory seized. Take Fall Blau from the WW2 for example. Impressive amount of territory the Germans took, right? Didn't matter one bit in the end. So, has opening another front somehow reversed Ukraine's shortage in men? What is the value of small villages in Kursk? Can you answer that?

@RipCityBassWorks What place of strength? Nothing has changed regarding the ratio of men and equipment.
1
@javierpatag3609 You know full well that Donbas is a war goal and no amount of false comparisons between asymmetrical and conventional wars change that. Nothing up there in Kursk short of the actual city or the NPP is worth being there, especially as fortifications built up over ten years in front of a logistical hub are falling apart. In the meantime you can go to Mediazona, which by far is the best approximation of Russian casualties we have, and just marvel out how outlandish the claims you definitely believe in are. So go on, cope about how domestic unrest and a collapsing economy will lead to Putin's fall. That is all people like you have had for three years now.
1
@javierpatag3609 The bigger picture you are tooting just boils down to a hope strategy. You hope something will come up that might actually threaten Putin's rule, because nothing on the battlefield suggests it'll go Ukraine's way. Hope ain't a strategy. And don't think I have not noticed that you have neither answered how Ukraine reverses its manpower crisis through the offensive nor what value the territory provides Ukraine. You are just giving off baseless platitudes about high Russian casualties which must surely crack the homefront.
1
@javierpatag3609 Unless you can actually formulate a war strategy that doesn't build on "we keep holding out until something changes in Russia domestically" I'm going to call it a hope strategy. Especially when its most basic pillar is the axiomatic belief in high Russian casualties.
1
@javierpatag3609 You are making the Russian war strategy up. It's pretty obvious that it is attritional warfare which they can engage in being the side with the vastly higher resources. The outcome you can see in Donbas where Ukraine can't stop them and in our media that has been writing about the manpower crisis in Ukraine for months by this point.
1
@javierpatag3609 You are making the Russian war strategy up. It's pretty obvious that it is attritional warfare. Being the bigger side they can obviously engage in it and you can tell that it's working by the consistent progress Russia has been making since 2023 while our media keeps writing articles about the shortages in men Ukraine experiences.
1
@javierpatag3609 You are making the Russian war strategy up. It's pretty obvious that it they intend on grinding down the Ukrainian army in a WW1 style. Being the bigger side they can obviously engage in it and you can tell that it's working by the consistent progress Russia has been making since 2023 while our media keeps writing articles about the shortages in men Ukraine experiences.
1
@javierpatag3609 And now you are just making things up. If you ask me, it's obvious what Russia is doing. Leveraging its greater resources to defeat the Ukrainian army in detail. It's not as concerned with territory as it is with the opponent's casualties. The effects you can clearly see on the battlefield, with consistent progress since last year and articles over articles about Ukraine being overstretched, problems with recruiting and exhaustion.
1
@javierpatag3609 No, you are just repeating what the media says is Russia's strategy. The same people who kept making up timetables that Russia conveniently didn't keep in order to convince you that Russia was losing. Three years later we can see the effect. Donbas is crumbling, Ukraine is stretched thin and they go on stunts like in Kursk. Meanwhile you are holding firm in the axiomatic belief in high Russian casualties.
1
@javierpatag3609 And we are back to the axiomatic belief in high Russian casualties.
1
@javierpatag3609 As for you making it up, technically you are correct. You are just repeating what the media tells you is Russian strategy.
1
@javierpatag3609 You have yet to fact check me on anything.
1
@javierpatag3609 Which part of, those Russian high losses are bull, have you not understood? I already told you a site that gives you the best approximation of the casualties and it's laughably below what is getting cited all the time by Ukraine. Lastly, the majority of casualties in war are caused by artillery. Now guess which country has the overwhelming advantage in that field and square the circle with that supposed favourable casualty rate for Ukraine.
1
@javierpatag3609 That isn't how you square the circle.
1
@javierpatag3609 You have yet to explain how Russia's casualties can be so high when they have the artillery advantage. So, square that circle.
1
@javierpatag3609 And I did tell you to not use false comparisons between asymmetrical and conventional wars, didn't I?
1
@javierpatag3609 The only way both are true is if Ukraine's casualties are catastrophic. At which point you will have to answer the question of how Ukraine can win the war, especially by opening up yet another front. Which isn't surprising of course. You can't actually articulate anything beyond a hope strategy.
1
@javierpatag3609 No, it can't, war just doesn't work that way. And Ukraine is not holding, what are you even talking about? Their position in front of Toretsk and Pokrovsk is deteriorating each day. So, are you capable of formulating a war winning strategy whose effect can actually be tangibly measured on the battlefield or aren't you?
1
@javierpatag3609 Yes, it can't. You claiming that Russia suffers so many more casualties than Ukraine does not make it so. If the vast majority of artillery is on Russia's side and artillery is the main cause of casualties in any modern war, than how is that supposed to be possible? As for the rest, you are predictably incapable of articulating the worth of the incursion or a way how Ukraine can win.

@bertilcoolson3922 Am I scared? No. Are you full of shit? Yes.
