Ukraine’s Commander-in-Chief informs Zelenskyy about offensive in Kursk Oblast: 1,000 square kilometres under Ukraine’s control
Volodymyr Zelenskyy, President of Ukraine, has held a meeting of the Staff of the Supreme Commander-in-Chief, in which he was informed about the offensive operation of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in Russia’s Kursk Oblast.
This is the first official statement of the Ukrainian government regarding the offensive in Kursk Oblast in Russia.
Found my mood kin.
Per childhood fairy tale monster Lavrov, it is time to acknowledge facts on the ground. The enemy must accept these realities.
they should offer to trade the ruskies kursk oblast for the crimean peninsula
Is my math wrong? Didn't that guy reporting to Putin say 20km deep and 14km wide? At best, that's 280 square kilometers. And Ukraine is stating it's nearly 5x as much. Someone help me here.
Guy reporting to Putin and Ukrainian chiefs have quite opposite interests to give estimations and I don't know how accurately you can draw lines on the maps, so I'd guess that the russian guy underestimates the area by a lot in a hope that his window doesn't suddenly break with his body and Ukraine likes to give a round number, even if reality is 830km² or whatever (I don't believe that they'd publicly lie about the area to be 3 times bigger than actual, but 20% on those cirumstances is pretty much just a rounding error).
It's also changing at a pretty good clip. I just did a summary of a Michael Kofman video from a couple days ago where he was talking about estimates of 350 square kilometers and "probably more by this point". If you're talking about anything from a couple of days ago, it's going to be rather outdated.
Good, they only need to occupy around 160,000 km2 more, then they can trade evenly.
