You take your reserve units that are fairly well intact, well equipped with tanks and armored vehicles, take them out of the cover of well dug fortifications to a place far from your supply lines and no cover from cities and no fortifications, to fight an enemy that has overwhelming firepower asymmetry and glide bombs. In the meantime, your defense in the cities with fortifications dug over eight years are crumbling quickly right before your eyes. This short lived PR victory will be very costly.

Russia should let UAF come deep into Kursk and then nuke them. I'm joking. This is just a joke.

But I think Putin will have launch mass mobilization because they can fight this war with only 500K-750K. They need 2 million.
He will have to make another mobilization, even if it is partial. The total number of volunteers is no longer capable of meeting the casualties and demands in Ukraine, the demands in Russia itself and still protecting the border. There is some speculation of another mobilization in Russia.

If this forces the Russians to withdraw units in the Donbas, weakening and diluting Russian combat power in strategic directions, this will ultimately be a victory for the Ukrainians. Furthermore, recent reports claim that the Ukrainians have been planning this for months, and there is speculation that there could be another incursion elsewhere on the border.

I don't see any evidence that Russia is diverting resources from the Donbass to Kurst. There seems to be plenty of troops and equipment in that general location to respond to the incursion. The Donbass is still collapsing as fast as it was before the incursion.

So you're just going to post whatever low quality propaganda you stumble upon ?
I post literally whatever I want, including low-quality propaganda. You can't stop me from posting this. There's nothing stopping me from posting what I want. If it gets deleted by the moderators, I won't waste my time on it, the only one wasting time on it is you.

Not entirely true in regard to posting low quality propaganda in general. They have to meet the bottom guideline. As per the first page in bolded red letters. This isn’t a reply to the above replies/disagreements just to be clear.

This thread is not the place to promote propaganda from either side. Where propaganda style claims are made it will be strictly in respect of confirming and debunking actual military events, using primary evidence for that purpose.

They assassinated 3 of Syrski's general staff colleagues the last few days, also in Kharkiv area. So I can believe Syrski is around there, probably because staying further away may cause important comms to be lost to interference.

I think a bigger humiliation is that Ukraine can't protect some of its most top staff.
Has any of this been confirmed?
Claims can obviously be true, but it's hard to take them very seriously without decent evidence.
