Trailer Park Boys do Kursk
if they manage to get to Lgov then it’s going to be a hell of a win for Ukraine.
I’ve seen quite a few videos of cars abandoned on the road from Kursk to the border and Lgov being evacuated.
AFU helicopters are backing the forces from the air and so far the Russians haven’t been able to make any sort of defence.
I wonder if they are aiming to seize the nuclear plant in Kursk. Some karma
Ah, it's been a while
Any bets on Ukraine taking Moscow before Russia takes Kyiv?
The problem for Russia attacking Kharkiv and the rumours of an attack on Sumy is it allows Ukraine to gather forces there and Russia doesn't know if they're for defence or attack. Some pretty good 4D chess going on here. I hope for more good news over the coming days.

It appears the shoe is on the other foot
Is there no war rule that states that the Occupied cannot occupy the occupiers land?
The goal of this seems clear to me.
Seize as much Russian territory as possible, dig in when the Russians eventually stabilize the front, and then force the Russians to go on the offensive. When the Russians attack, their only strategy is to destroy everything in front of them. If the fight is on Russian soil, it's Russian towns getting flattened instead of Ukrainian ones. As both sides have found out in the last 2.5 years, attacking well defended positions has usually cost the attacking side dear. If Ukraine play this right, Russia will have to devote experienced units and resources to take this territory back, potentially relieving pressure in Donbass. Make no mistake, Putin will be under enormous pressure to retake this land.
Longer term, if Ukraine can actually take a significant amount of territory and then hold it, then it's a bargaining chip that can used in future negotiations to get their occupied territory back. That has to be the aim, as it's useless to Ukraine otherwise.
This is definitely a big gamble by Ukraine. Reading some of the Ukrainian Telegram sources, it sounds like they've used two fresh brigades with modern equipment for this attack. A big commitment to make while other exhausted brigades with scarce ammunition in Donbass are being slowly forced to give ground.
Also,
They keep going
“For you Ivan the war is over!”
“Thank God, what kept you”
“Sullivan”
The whole of Russia is there for the taken, if someone was brave enough to take it .If this was the 1940's such a opportunity would not be lost, Nato could take Russia easy, of course no one wants Russia, they just want them to get out of Ukraine
This is gas...
Looks like estimates are of around 60 POWs from Sudzha.
Blyatskrieg?
Some update

Your efforts are much appreciated
Lgov is 62km from the border which was "defended" so they must have set out from maybe 10k back you would assume. 72km in as many hours for the advance force.
Momentum is on their side & they need to use it wisely which you know they will.
Time to dog pile russia
Clashes in Lgov. I dont see anyway the UAF got there already. Must be sabotage groups working ahead. But the speed of the UAF and bypasses Russian army placements seems to be working. Almost Blitzkrieg in it's style.
They need they make this work, could be their one and only chance.
I wonder did Scholz know, and if he didn't just what kind of meltdown he's having right now
Lol, someone's getting dropped from a window.
Im getting no work done as I keep refreshing twitter and Reddit feeds
Lol
At the rate they are going the UAF will have more of Kursk than they do of Kharkiv
