Guerra Russia Ucraina in diretta: le forze di Putin subiscono 1.000 vittime al giorno mentre Zelensky elogia l’attacco di Kursk | The Independent

What’s particularly effective about occupying Kursk is that it forces meatwaves to happen instead of simply inviting them to happen. Seems like no difference at a glance, but the fact Russian moves are being made under pressure means they are more predictable than they already were. That’s a weakness in any fight, but this war is artillery-heavy and artillery LOVES a predictable target.

Meanwhile, occupied territories are gradually being stripped of their occupiers without fighting there. Soldiers in trenches who built themselves a home >!probably as good as they had in Russia!< have to go back into the elements and speedmarch through fire and thicket during peak bug season.
