Russia inawabomoa sana NATO na Ukraine, patriotic moja ni $3 billions mbili jumla $6 billions karibu na Budget ya Samia/ Mwigulu Nchemba (Tanzania). Zote hizo patriotic zimeenda na maji na kuwa vipande vipande kwa siku moja. Ni hasara kubwa sana kwa walipa kodi wa America, wakati uchumi wao hauko vizuri. Pia zaidi ya wanajeshi 2000 wamesharudi kwa muumba wao sijui watazikwa wapi. Kursk wajerumani walishindwa na kuuwawa karibu million 5, wajerumani walipoteza maisha yao hapo Kursk, leo roho za wanajeshi kutoka NATO zinaungana na roho za wajerumani waliotangulia mbele ya haki.
Nimekuwa upande wa Russia tangu mwaka 1986.
West ni wa kupigwa ili tuondokane na wizi wao.
 
Ukraine's moment of truth is coming as Zelensky doubles down on the Kursk nuclear power plant at Kurchatov:

Ukraine's forward reconnaissance-in-force units reached as far north as Kromskie Byki, barely 22 kilometers southwest of the Kursk nuclear power station at Kurchatov. It's clear that the AFU intends to establish this area as a launchpad for artillery, rocket, and suicide drone strikes on Russia's third-largest atomic energy facility.

Heavy fighting was reported throughout the day along a broad front of villages more than 30 kilometers inside the Kursk-Sumy border: which means that Ukraine committed precious reserves to hang onto its advance positions after its first echelon was obliterated by Russian fire and its remnants pushed back by Russian counterattacks. Most likely, fierce engagements, artillery duels, and airstrikes continue to dot the entire area of up to 350 square kilometers to the north, northwest, and northeast of the fully secured zone of the AFU salient beyond Sumy, which at this point is itself about 600 square kilometers large.

Ukraine is hurtling towards a point of no return. Anything less than the Kursk NPP will not give Zelensky the degree of diplomatic leverage he needs to reset the negotiating equation with Moscow. It would be useless for the AFU to grab more borderland just for the sake of occupying more Russian soil: as Kyiv has no intention of holding any Russian territory permanently. But an assault on the NPP is fraught with both military and political risks.

Militarily, the AFU lacks the manpower and logistics to physically reach the Kurchatov facility with sufficient force and supplies to be able to hold it. If current forward positions like Kromskie Byki are captured, the Ukrainians could instead apply pressure on Russia by shelling the NPP at a range of 20 to 30 kilometers - possibly forcing it to shut down. But the military cost of sustaining such an artillery bridgehead would be very high: making it unlikely to survive - at least in its maximal territorial extent - more than a few weeks, during which Russian forces will continue to make significant gains of their own in Donbas.

Furthermore, shelling and bombing attacks on the nuclear power station must somehow be kept at a level not provocative enough to warrant a large-scale Russian counteroffensive to roll back the Kursk invasion altogether (or at least reduce it to a far less threatening size). This could prove difficult if Ukrainian forces are perceived to be bogged down in their main objective while their Russian counterparts keep scoring incremental but steady gains in the Pokrovsk and Toretsk directions.

Despite these risks, Zelensky cannot afford to play it safe anymore. Time is running out for the AFU grouping in Donbas. The Russian breakthrough in the Pokrovsk and Toretsk sectors signifies the final collapse of Kyiv's longstanding fortified defense line in the heart of Donetsk dating all the way to 2014. Once this front is fatally compromised, it would only bet a matter of time until the remainder of the Ukrainian line in Donetsk region - hundreds of kilometers of it - is progressively rolled up from the rear with massive Russian flanking maneuvers.

The next six to eight weeks will be the most consequential of the war so far. A desperate Ukraine will become even more desperate - and even more visibly so - as its Battle of the Bulge-style gambit in Kursk fails to produce the diplomatic bargaining chip Zelensky expected. But with hundreds of square kilometers of its own territory occupied - and one of its largest nuclear facilities under attack - Russia will merely be defending itself to go for a knockout blow against the present Kyiv administration.

Ukrainian forces ‘surrendering’ in Russian border region (VIDEO)

A screenshot from a video purportedly showing Ukrainian soldiers that have surrendered in Russia's Kursk Region.

Ukrainian troops taking part in Kiev’s incursion into Russia’s Kursk Region have started “actively surrendering,” Major-General Apty Alaudinov, commander of the Akhmat Special Forces from Russia’s Chechen.

Akhmat and other Russian military units have been “systematically eliminating the enemy,” the general said, adding that Kiev’s forces had started to give themselves up in all parts of the front line in the region. The Ukrainian military’s reserves “are depleting,” said Alaudinov.

Earlier on Saturday, the general reported on his Telegram page that at least five Ukrainian fighters had been taken prisoner by the Special Forces unit over the past few days, including one member of the neo-Nazi ‘Azov’ regiment.

A video showing almost a dozen Ukrainian POWs being escorted by Russian soldiers also surfaced on social media. According to RIA Novosti, which obtained the clip, footage shows soldiers from a single unit of Kiev’s 22nd Separate Mechanized Brigade, which laid down arms “in an orderly fashion” and contacted the Russian military through a specialized Telegram channel.

A total of 24 Ukrainian soldiers who served with the unit surrendered to Russia, RIA reported. According to the news agency, they were taken prisoner near the village of Komarovka, located around twelve miles from Russia’s border with Ukraine.

Footage shows the Ukrainian servicemen walking in a line with their hands behind their backs. Russian soldiers armed with assault rifles can be seen escorting them. At least 17 Ukrainian POWs can be seen on the video.

Some Russian Telegram channels linked to the nation’s military also claimed that Ukrainian soldiers have started to “massively” lay down their arms over the past days. Some servicemen allegedly surrendered immediately after crossing the Russian border, the channels claimed.

Ukraine deployed 10,000 reserves to attack border-zone in Kursk.

In its latest statement on the situation in the area, the ministry said Kiev’s forces had lost 300 soldiers and 31 pieces of heavy equipment in Kursk Region over the past 24 hours, including three tanks and a German-made IRIS-T air defense system.

The Ukrainian military launched its incursion into the Russian border region last week. In total, it has lost more than 3,100 soldiers, 44 tanks and 43 armored personnel carriers as well as five air defense systems and six multiple rocket launchers since the start of the operation, according to the Russian ministry’s estimates.

Ukrainian HIMARS-family launcher destroyed in Iskander strike – MOD video

The NATO-supplied M270 system was tracked down across the border from Russia’s Kursk Region.
One of the M270 MLRS systems provided to Kiev by its Western sponsors was destroyed in the Sumy region of Ukraine, according to a video published by the Russian Defense Ministry on Saturday.

The system, a heavier tracked counterpart to HIMARS capable of firing both ATACMS tactical ballistic missiles and smaller high-precision projectiles, was identified by a surveillance drone near the village of Bezdrik, approximately 25 kilometers from the border with Russia’s Kursk Region.

The location was promptly struck by a ballistic missile launched from a Russian Iskander-M system. A large explosion and subsequent fire were observed in the area after the strike. According to estimates from the Russian military, the attack destroyed both the launcher and its crew.

HIMARS launchers, as well as their heavier tracked counterpart, the M270, have been supplied to Ukraine by Washington, London, and Berlin since the summer of 2022. Multiple systems have been destroyed during hostilities, with at least four eliminated since the start of the incursion into the Kursk Region earlier this month, according to Defense Ministry estimates.

These systems have been widely celebrated in Ukraine as a powerful weapon due to their ability to conduct high-precision long-range strikes, including with controversial anti-personnel shrapnel munitions.
