I'll try to do better with cross-posting in the future. Might still re-post the thread just for future-proofing.

I'm currently working on a writeup about the goals of the Kursk operation and what it achieved, and if it managed to fulfil any of it's goals.

I'll remember to post that here as well.

I was meant to post it here too but creating the graphics and writing the text on Substack took 12 hours and now I have forgot.

I must rectify this tomorrow.

This is in reference to the Ukrainian forces in Kazachya Loknaya and those on the eastern outskirts of Sudzha.

Those forces are separated from Sudzha and Ukraine by the Loknaya and Psel rivers.

"The official said all US military equipment not currently in Ukraine would be paused, including weapons in transit on aircraft and ships or waiting in transit areas in Poland."

You know what they say:

"Barely functional is still functional".

It incidentally seems to be both my and the Trump administration's motto for 2025.

Only one of us seems to be succeeding.
