Alguns tentam passar a imagem que a Rússia tem recursos humanos infinitos.

A Ucrânia terá conquistado cerca de 1.000 kms2 e feito 1.000 prisioneiros em meia dúzia de dias, porque os russos têm o grosso das suas forças no leste, onde têm 1.000 baixas por dia para avançar uma dezena de kms2 por dia.

Para fazer frente ao que se está a passar em Kursk e Belgorod, vão ter que trazer reservas, se as tiverem, do leste.

Vale a pena ler este estudo, para acabar com alguns mitos.

How Ukraine pulled off its biggest gamble: invading Russia

Kyiv’s troops say they found a Russian unit calmly drinking coffee as they crossed the border

As Volodymyr prepared to enter Russian territory, adrenaline ran through his veins. It was not lost on him that 81 years ago, another battle in Russia’s Kursk region marked a turning point for Europe.

He and the other soldiers of the 82nd air assault brigade listened to their commander’s instructions: eyes open, move swiftly and keep your country in your thoughts. Then, after a short prayer and a battle cry of “Glory to Ukraine!” they set out to invade Russia — the first foreign army to do so since the second world war.

“We entered Russian territory for the first time at 1pm on Tuesday [August 6],” Volodymyr said. “We were among the first to enter there.”

To his astonishment, his unit faced no resistance as their eight-wheeled, 20 tonne US Stryker fighting vehicle stormed across the border in broad daylight.

(...)

Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said at the weekend that Kyiv wanted to “push the war on to the aggressor’s territory” and put “pressure” on Russia to “restore justice”.

(...)

Denys said the main goal of the operation was to capture Russian land. “We can fight here and take their territory. And then negotiations can start, and we will have some land of theirs to trade for our land,” he said.

Enerhodar. We have recorded from Nikopol that the Russian occupiers have started a fire on the territory of the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant.

Currently, radiation levels are within norm. However, as long as the Russian terrorists maintain control over the nuclear plant, the situation is not and cannot be normal.

Since the first day of its seizure, Russia has been using the Zaporizhzhia NPP only to blackmail Ukraine, all of Europe, and the world.

We are waiting for the world to react, waiting for the IAEA to react. Russia must be held accountable for this. Only Ukrainian control over the Zaporizhzhia NPP can guarantee a return to normalcy and complete safety.

A Ucrânia tem 3 opções:


1ª Ir avançando e consolidar a àrea conquistada, o que é extremamente arriscado, devido aos meios que tem disponíveis;

2ª Recuar e montar defesas mais atrás, em posições mais próximas da sua fronteira, o que tem algum risco;

3ª Recuar para território ucraniano.

Recordar que neste momento têm linhas de reabastecimento com algumas dezenas de kms, que não são fáceis de manter.

Não são leopard's, são todos blindados russos, creio que T72, operados por ucranianos. Pelo menos num é nítido o tradicional tronco de árvore.
Antes da invasão a Ucrânia só tinha blindados de origem russa e agora tem capturado mais uma boa quantidade que os põe logo na linha de batalha.
Cumprimentos,

Sem ser especialista, diria que os principais objetivos são:

- Ganhar terreno para negociar com a Rússia;

Poderá ser, daí os EUA terem permitido, ao contrário do que vem sendo hábito, o uso do seu material em território russo, por saberem que vão pressionar a Ucrânia a negociar, ou por receio que Trump, se ganhar, o faça.

A Ucrânia em 3 dias tomou cerca de 400 kms2 do Oblast de Kursk.

Também estão a seu usados veículos de combate de infantaria Marder (Alemanha).

Sem ser especialista, diria que os principais objetivos são:

- Ganhar terreno para negociar com a Rússia;
- Criar caos no exército russo: já que aparentemente não há tanques para defender o território e atacar linhas de logística;
- Mostrar ao mundo, especialmente aos russos, que eles não são invencíveis;
- Gerar descontentamento na população russa

Up to 10 thousand Ukrainian military may be involved in the operation in Kursk region - Forbes

"It is becoming clearer by the hour that what is happening in Kursk is not a raid, it is really an invasion," writes the American Forbes. Journalists note that this operation is very different from previous raids into Russian territory.

It involves at least three brigades, each with up to 2,000 troops.

Os ucranianos tiveram autorização dos EUA para usar o seu equipamento (M2 Bradley, M1126 Stryker, M142 HIMARS .....), o que me deixa intrigado é o objectivo táctico desta operação, pois estava à espera que saissem de seguida, mas não, continuam a colocar as reservas no terreno.

Os EUA estarão a alterar a sua política? Pois ainda recentemente não permitiram o uso de ATACMS contra uma base aérea na Rússia, que estava a lotada de aviões russos.

Nesta operação que é uma operação que teria de ser planeada apanhou totalmente de surpresa as os serviços secretos russos .

A aber­tura desta fren­te per­mite espalhar dúvidas nos russos mas também é pressão sobre o ocidente há veí­cu­los de com­bate ame­ri­ca­nos Brad­ley nesta ofensiva os ucranianos tentam liber­tar-se da res­tri­ção imposta pelos oci­den­tais para não usa­rem as suas armas na Rús­sia.

Talvez que a ope­ra­ção visa mais os ali­a­dos da Ucrâ­nia, cuja ajuda ainda não é sufi­ci­ente para equi­li­brar o equi­lí­brio de forças .

[PMP69]

A Ucrânia já terá mais de 2 mil homens em Kursk, e estabeleceu uma linha de abastecimento até Sumy.

É uma operação arriscada, mas até agora tem sido bem sucedida.

Os ucranianos terão destruído completamente uma coluna militar russa, a 30 kms da fronteira, com bomas de cluster .

Seria interessante uma operação militar semelhante em Belgorod.

Ficam alguns videos das últimas horas.

Há relatos de que a Ucrânia está atacando o campo de aviação em Lipetsk, na Rússia, com drones aéreos. Parte da base estaria em chamas. Várias explosões estão acontecendo. Lipetsk fica a menos de 500 km da primeira fronteira da Ucrânia, a mesma distância até a capital russa, Moscow.

Pentagon says Ukraine’s attack into Russia is not escalatory

The Defense Department on Thursday said Ukraine’s attack into a region of Russia this week is not escalatory and is consistent with U.S. policy.

Pentagon deputy press secretary Sabrina Singh told reporters that Ukraine is “taking action to protect themselves” in the Kursk region, where Ukrainian troops entered on Tuesday night and are continuing to fight, putting enormous pressure on Russia.

“We have supported Ukraine from the very beginning to defend themselves against attacks that are coming across the border and for the need for crossfires,” she said.

The U.S. has a policy of allowing Ukraine to makes strikes in Russia with American-made weapons as long as it is related to a cross-border attack from Russian forces, and Singh said the Kursk attack, even though it involves troops instead of missiles or drones, is consistent with that policy.

“We don’t support long-range attacks into Russia,” she said. “These are more for cross-fire [and …] they are aware of U.S. policy and what we are supportive of.”

Ukraine has not attacked directly inside of Russia before with troops, though Kyiv-allied anti-Kremlin Russian fighters have mounted attacks on Russian regions before.

Ukraine has pressed at least six miles into Kursk, which neighbors the northeastern Ukrainian region of Sumy, taking several settlements and capturing dozens of Russian border guards.

Russia’s Ministry of Defense said it has repelled most of the attacks but that fighting is ongoing, while Russian military bloggers wrote that Ukraine had captured a gas measuring station and were surrounding the city of Sudzha.

Ukrainian officials have not commented on the attacks. But Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said Wednesday night it was important to keep the pressure on Russia, while his adviser, Mykhailo Podolyak, said in a cryptic post on X that the “mythical Russian brutality and boundlessness has turned against Russia itself.”

A United Nations spokesperson said Thursday the Kursk attack was a “real concern” and called for the protection of civilians.

Russian President Vladimir Putin, who called it a “major provocation,” met with key government officials on Wednesday and ordered his troops to counter the Ukrainian advance.

Putin has repeatedly threatened to escalate the war over Ukrainian attacks inside of Russia, and has used nuclear weapons as part of those threats.

But Singh said Ukraine is “going to do everything it can to continue to take back its sovereign territory.”

“We don’t feel like this is escalatory,” she said. “Ukraine is doing what it needs to do to be successful on the battlefield.”

She added that Ukraine has been able to push Russian forces further back into Russia but that it was vital for Kyiv to defend against border attacks.

“As they see attacks coming across the border, they have to be able to have the capabilities to respond,” she said.
