Russian President Vladimir Putin said Monday that the Ukrainian army’s incursion into the Kursk region, which has caused more than 100,000 civilians to flee and embarrassed the Kremlin, is an attempt by Kyiv to stop Moscow’s offensive in eastern Ukraine’s Donbas region and gain leverage in possible future peace talks.

Has he now come full circle and lied so much that he accidentally told the truth?

Huh. Maybe you shouldn’t have invaded Ukraine then.

So end the “special military operation” and they leave. Win-win.

I feel like that was the point. Also don’t let the popaganda veil slip too low now or your citizens will put together the fact that the incursions will stop once you stop occupying Ukraine.

Personally?

I don’t think Ukraine should stop until it holds Moscow.

Putin’s nuclear bluff has been called. He threatened it and threatened it when it wasn’t useful, and now he’s been invaded, and there have been no nukes.

Tattorack@lemmy.world on 13 Aug 2024 18:11 next collapse

I don’t think Moscow is a good target. Russia doesn’t regard capitals the same way other countries do, it seems, and there’s quite a history of foreign making the sane mistake.

jonne@infosec.pub on 13 Aug 2024 20:55 collapse

Ukraine doesn’t have the manpower to occupy anything. The smart thing is to go in, fuck shit up as much as possible, then leave again with as many prisoners of war as possible. They barely have enough people to actually defend their own lines, taking Moscow is just a ridiculous proposition (and it would be seen as an existential threat to Russia that would make nuking Kyiv a valid option in Russia’s eyes).

Putin telling the truth? Honestly slightly shocking

No shit?! Ya think, dummy? It’s almost as if that’s how war works…

Edited to add: Referring to Putin as a dummy, not the OP.

What, are they involved in a war with Russia or something ?
