Putin Ally Set To Attack Ukraine From Behind As Kursk Revenge? Big Move By Russian Nuclear Bomb Host
[ Kursk Offensive ] UKRAINE SEALS GLUSHKOVO’S FATE – Pincer coming; Ukraine capturing more ground!
Zelensky – came up with a new goal of the AFU in Kursk region:
Creating a buffer zone on the aggressor’s territory is the goal of our operation in Kursk region. Everything that causes damage to the Russian army, the Russian state, their defense industry and their economy – all this helps us to prevent the expansion of the war and bring a just end to this aggression closer. If we talk about deliveries from our partners, an acceleration is required. We are asking for it very much. War does not have vacations. Solutions are needed, timely logistics of announced packages are required. I am particularly appealing now to the United States, the United Kingdom and France.
▪️Before the operation, Kiev sent signals of a desire to resolve the conflict: Zelensky declared the possibility of ending the war by year end, held talks on the international stage and sent diplomats to China. However, the attack on the Kursk region has led to the Kremlin now aiming not for peace, but for revenge, former Russian officials say.
▪️Ukraine hopes that the new military initiative will give them an advantage in future negotiations. But experts doubt that diplomatic and military pressure will be able to change the position of Putin, who is still ready to do a lot for the sake of victory.
▪️Hopes for a peaceful settlement have collapsed after Ukraine’s offensive in the Kursk region. Those who promoted the idea of a ceasefire, note that recent events have completely removed this possibility.
So he points out that many military personnel in the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine began to say that there is a possibility that the Russians deliberately sent us into the Kursk region. For them, from the point of view of military strategy, this is not dangerous. Plus, the regular army can be used, and logistics are complicated for the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The more the Armed Forces of Ukraine controls, the more forces are needed for this, as was the case with the Russians in 2022, when they took a lot in Ukraine at once, and there were no prepared reserves, and this then resulted in the Kharkov offensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, and the retreat of the Russian Armed Forces.
I hope the same thing doesn’t happen now.
Plus, the Ukrainian Armed Forces are now pulling everything there, which creates huge gaps in defensive capabilities in other areas.
For the Ukrainian Armed Forces, it would have been best to attack and retreat and constantly keep the Russians on their toes, but it turns out that the Ukrainian army entered and sank like in a swamp.
It turns out that Zelensky, due to his egoism, has once again driven the Ukrainian Armed Forces into a corner when it is impossible to abandon them – this is a disgrace and a collapse of morale, because this adventure has already been hyped up to the skies, and it is becoming more expensive and difficult to hold on to it with each passing week.
We’ll see if the insider information is confirmed this time.
The source indicates that the Ukrainian Armed Forces will not be able to hold this piece of territory for more than six months.
Our source in the General Staff said that the Ukrainian Armed Forces lost 400 units of equipment during the Kursk operation and are forced to constantly transfer new equipment to the region to hold positions and continue the attack. Syrsky personally oversees all processes and transfers the best brigades/units from the Eastern Front to continue the onslaught of the Ukrainian Armed Forces and not repeat the fate of Bakhmut.
The General Staff is forced to send more and more reserves of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, while Russia continues to advance in Donbass.
The tactics of the Russian Armed Forces are to force us to concentrate forces in the Kursk region. Those forces that could stop the enemy’s advance on more relevant sections of the front.
Zelensky’s “operation” may finally leave us without an army, equipment and morale. The Russians were able to stabilize the front, so there can be no talk of any march to the Kursk NPP.
Our source in the General Staff said that Syrsky is hiding the level of losses of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the Kursk operation, since this is Zelensky’s personal initiative, and the fate of the Commander-in-Chief depends on its implementation. The President’s Office demands that the General Staff intensify the attack on Russian territories before the US elections in order to use this case for bargaining in the negotiation process.
Our source in the OP said that the Presidential Office received information from the SBU about the preparation by Poroshenko’s technologists of an information campaign against Zelensky/Yermak, in which the Kursk operation will be retransmitted as a deliberate leak of Donbass to Russia. Poroshenko’s headquarters has already received information about the large losses of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the Kursk region and knows about the difficulties of carrying out the operation, what it will cost our army in terms of forces and resources, which is why they want to use the failure of the attack on Russian territory as a deliberate leak of the best reserves/equipment under the enemy’s open fire.
The holding of the Kursk adventure will consume all reserves and supplies.
Zelensky is now asking Western partners to issue large-scale “aid packages”; he needs this to cover the deficit that has already begun and is gaining momentum due to the Kursk adventure.
For that reason, the Russian Armed Forces have begun to put maximum pressure on Donbass and are forcing the Ukrainian Armed Forces to retreat constantly and everywhere. This could lead to small and large cauldrons. Then the entire Kursk adventure will turn from a victory into a betrayal.
Another of our sources indicates that Syrsky convinced Zelensky to transfer additional reserves not to the Kursk direction, but to Donbass.
Zelensky seems to have refused, since the Kursk adventure is more important for his image than the entire Donbass direction.
The Russians are creating a kind of “Bakhmut 2.0” in the Kursk region.
Yes, there is no such meat grinder there. At least not yet. But the Russian General Staff’s bet is the same: to force us to transfer additional reserves, destroy them and thereby deprive us of offensive potential.
Yesterday, the Russians took New York, advancing to Toretsk. Despite the statements of Syrsky and various LOMs and military experts controlled by the Office, the Russians did not massively transfer reserves from Donbass. On the contrary, the enemy’s advance continues. While the front in the Kursk direction has stopped.
The Russians will slowly and deliberately squeeze us out, understanding what a great symbolic meaning Zelensky laid in his pseudo-offensive. He was caught again by the “Bakhmut hook”, unfortunately for the country…
Kursk operation of the AFU. What has changed after two weeks?
🔺The last 14 days have shown that the Ukrainian army’s plan for the Kursk region had both curious moments and obvious miscalculations, directly affecting the timing of the operation and its prospects.
Did the AFU achieve its goal?
If the primary objective was to demonstrate a strike on the “old” Russian territory and the parallel information pumping to demonstrate the very possibility of such a strike, then the AFU’s plan can be considered accomplished. At the same time, the informational component became decisive, since the purely military goal of capturing the key directions of Suja-Snagost, Korenevo-Rylsk and L’gov-Kurchatov was not achieved, which actually means that the AFU has no operational success. In fact, now we are talking about the fact that the Ukrainian army has pulled forward the main forces that need to be supplied with everything necessary for combat operations. For now, the AFU still has this opportunity, but the window of opportunity for this will soon close.
What problems have the Ukrainian Armed Forces already uncovered?
The destruction of three HIMARS MLRS, Patriot SAMs and IRIS-T in close proximity to the front indicates that for the Kursk operation, the AFU used something that is long and expensive to reproduce. For effective firing such weapons should be moved closer to the state border. As they start to move them and turn them on, they start to get hit.
■ The supply of a successful, well-organized breakthrough (and it is pointless to dispute this) began to close in from both sides. It is premature to talk about “pincers” yet, but artillery is working from the side of the state border, and the opposite side along the supply routes is being actively worked on with the help of remote minesystems “Zemledeliye”, thus complicating the movement where it should have been guaranteed.
The activity vector of the raid groups does not change and remains the same: the AFU is moving its troops along the N-07 Kiev-Sumy highway with access to Sudzha. On this highway, the Russian Armed Forces’ artillerymen and aviation are successfully extinguishing reserves, evacuated equipment, and much of what has not yet been included in the bulletins.
Can the Kursk operation be considered a success for the AFU?
All the main battles of the AFU are now trying to be fought along the R-200 highway to Kursk. The main trump card in the form of the element of surprise has already been lost, but the density of troops is still high and the Ukrainian forces are still trying to advance in this area. However, this road, as well as the N-07 highway, is actually alternative-free and almost immediately taken under the fire control of the Russian Armed Forces.
At the same time, pressure on this section is impossible without pulling out ALL the reserves allocated for the operation, which the AFU still has, but are not infinite.
At the same time, the pumping of information space with virtual victories as in the first days continues, but its quality and intensity are obviously decreasing. In most cases, the Internet is saturated with “canned” footage shot during the first three days of the breakthrough.
This suggests that almost the main purpose of the AFU operation was “psychologizing”, and not to the Russian military, but to the population (both its own and on the territory of the Russian Federation), which, in addition to CIPSO, was actively swayed by numerous messages not only by Ukrainian information units, but also by bloggers.
Military Chronicle
Kursk Direction: Battles in Korenevo and Sudzha Districts
What is known as of 7:00 PM on August 19, 2024
In Kursk Region, fierce clashes continue along the entire front line. The enemy does not stop attempts to improve their tactical position. Russian aviation, UAV crews, and artillery are delivering fire strikes against advancing AFU formations.
🔻In Glushkovo District, no significant changes in the combat situation have been recorded so far. However, against the backdrop of the destruction of three bridges, the evacuation of the population has become significantly more difficult, while the threat of encirclement of Tetkinо and other nearby settlements has increased significantly.
🔻In Korenevo District, fire strikes were delivered against Ukrainian formations in the area of Snagost and Vishnevka, as well as southeast of Korenevo. The enemy does not stop attempts to enter the latter settlement.
In the area of Safonovka, the aftermath (https://t.me/pograni4nik_iz_ada/6832) of the battles is visible: bodies of killed members of Ukrainian formations and burnt-out armored vehicles are scattered around.
🔻In Sudzha District, Ukrainian troops continue to shoot various videos confirming their stable control only over the western part of the city. Battles continue in the area of Russkoye and Cherkasskoye Porechnoye, in Rubanshchina a truck with a mortar of the AFU was destroyed by Lancet UAVs, another tank was hit in Sadki in Sumy Region.

Kursk Direction: Fighting Along the Entire Front Line
What is known as of the end of August 19, 2024
In the Kursk Region, fighting continued throughout the day on various sectors of the front. In the area of Yunakovka, a rather rare IMR-2 (engineer vehicle) was destroyed (https://t.me/rusich_army/16632). This is the second such Ukrainian engineering vehicle lost this week.
🔻In the Glushkovsky District, the situation did not undergo significant changes by the end of the day. The Russian Armed Forces continue to build pontoon crossings, awaiting possible activation of Ukrainian formations in the sector.
🔻In the Korenevo District, a BMP-1 of the AFU was hit in the area of Olhovka (https://t.me/control_sigma/33632), which was moving to evacuate wounded Ukrainian soldiers. As a result of a direct hit, the armored vehicle was destroyed.
🔻In the Sudzha District, the enemy has been posting videos from the area of the local “Pyaterochka” store and the administration building throughout the day, without entering the eastern part of the city.

Kursk Direction: Destruction of All Bridges in Hlushkovo District and Fighting in Sumy District
What is known as of 2:00 PM on August 19, 2024
In Kursk Region, heavy clashes continue on several sections of the front. Russian forces are striking drone and air strikes on columns and positions of AFU equipment, destroying armored vehicles and manpower.
🔻In Hlushkovo District, the situation is most difficult. In the morning, Ukrainian aviation destroyed (https://t.me/milinfolive/128791) the last bridge in the area across the Seim river in the settlement of Karyzh.
Thus, the evacuation of the population and the supply of the grouping of Russian troops now entirely depends on the number of boats and the deployment of a sufficient number of pontoons. The AFU are creating conditions for preparing a bridgehead before the offensive in this area.
🔻In Korenevo District, the enemy, apparently, made another attempt to enter the village, but was unsuccessful.
Ukrainian sabotage and reconnaissance groups are operating on the road between Korenevo and Pogrebki, ambushing passing vehicles.
🔻In Sumy District, the operational-tactical aviation of the Russian Aerospace Forces delivered bomb strikes on AFU positions in the forest south of Kosytsia (https://t.me/warriorofnorth/2162).
The advance of the enemy from the settlement of Agronom (https://t.me/tactical_13/5794) towards Russkaya Konopelka is noted, on the way to which a column of AFU armored vehicles was attacked by an FPV drone crew.
The enemy continues to post videos from the eastern part of Sumy, this time near the administration building.

None of the UAVs managed to hit the railway bridge. Two drones fell near the security checkpoint building, slightly damaging the exterior facade and protective net. The third UAV flew towards Belaya Berezka, where it crashed in the forest.
🔻Against the backdrop of the AFU strikes on bridges in Kursk Region, some media presented this raid as an attack on a strategic facility. However, the bridge in the Pogarsky District has not been used for a long time, and communication across the Desna is carried out both through the nearby pontoon crossing and bridges located further east, including in the Trubchevsk area.
Nevertheless, three kamikaze drones are not enough to destroy such infrastructure, unlike strikes using MLRS. Therefore, the new raid can be considered either an initial attempt to attack bridges in the Bryansk Region, or an attack on the first available target.
rybar
In the direction of Korenevo, the Northerners repelled two AFU attacks on the Olgovka settlement and one on the Komarovka settlement. During the repulsion the Fearless destroyed up to 40 AFU fighters, 5 BBMs and 3 pickup trucks. No enemy breakthrough was allowed.
North of Suja the intensity of the AFU attacks decreased. During the day the enemy made one unsuccessful attack on the village of Cherkasskoye Porechnoye, lost up to 10 fighters killed and one BMP. In addition, the “North” special forces destroyed two AFU DRGs totaling up to 12 militants, 5 were taken prisoner.
The AFU increased the intensity of shelling of civilian infrastructure using Western-style MLRS and aviation. The air defense units of the “North” group effectively repelled these attacks. Over the course of the day, 90% of the missile and air strikes were repelled.
In the Volchansk direction, fighting continues in the town of Volchansk. During the day the Northeners foiled two attempts to transfer reinforcements across the Volchya River, killing up to 12 AFU fighters.
In Liptsy direction, the enemy attempted to break through the defense of the “North” group with the forces of up to 40 fighters on 4 BBMs, supported by two tanks and a BMP, but hit a minefield and lost a tank and a BMP in the first minutes of the battle.
This allowed the Fearless to systematically destroy the scattered AFU forces. The enemy’s losses amounted to up to 20 militants, 2 tanks and 2 BMPs, the remnants of the forces fled to Liptsy settlement.
Over the past 24 hours, the enemy losses amounted to 310 people (of which more than 220 in the Sumy direction). Also uncovered and destroyed:
on the Sumy direction:
▪️ two tanks;
▪️ three APCs;
▪️ BMPS;
▪️ nine AVs;
▪️ 120-mm mortar;
▪️ six units of automotive equipment.
In other directions:
▪️ D-20 howitzer;
▪️ D-30 howitzer;
▪️ 120-mm mortar;
▪️ two tanks;
▪️ two AVs;
▪️ UAV depot;
▪️ two vehicles.
The enemy continues to search for possible routes to break through the border in the Belgorod region and expand the zone of active combat operations. In the border area, the Besstraashnykh Special Forces eliminated another enemy DRG of up to 10 fighters, which was probably searching for weaknesses in the defense.
Nevertheless, the enemy continues to concentrate its main forces in the border areas of the Kursk region. To maintain the intensity of fighting in other areas, he uses groups of poorly trained mobilized and former prisoners. An example of this is the above described suicidal attack on the Liptsy direction.
Victory will be ours!
“The war is over only when the last soldier is buried.” – A.V. Suvorov.
North Wind
Several waves of enemy attacks have been repulsed. And in almost all areas at the same time. The enemy tried to push through the area where the Akhmat special forces are located. But praise the Almighty that he did not let them do it. The guys defended with dignity, destroyed really a lot of infantry at all sites. We are not going to retreat.
15 foreign mercenaries captured in Sudzha district of Kursk region
The operation was carried out by several Russian units with air support, reports the Telegram channel Shot.
Also, during the work of the marines of the 810th Brigade of the Black Sea Fleet, 5 armored vehicles manufactured by NATO countries (including Cougar) and 3 Kozak-2 armored personnel carriers were destroyed by FPV drone strikes in the Kursk region.
Earlier it was reported that the 810th Marine Brigade had captured 19 Ukrainian Armed Forces militants.
Dozens of cars are burned every week, and dissatisfaction with the government is growing, which fuels the people’s “partisan” actions.
The people are massively resisting Zemobilization.
TCK in Ternopil drove a guy into a corner as a “victim” and tried to kidnap him to send him to “zero” to die for power, but people seem to have fought him off.
They even smashed a TCK car.
Oh, Zelensky will play himself out when his relatives realize who dumped their children in the meat grinders for their own political goals and PR.
Ukraine has lost nine gigawatts of production energy capacity, which is half of the volume needed for the winter.
The Financial Times reports this, citing a statement by the European Commissioner for Energy Kadri Simson.
According to her, in order to avoid a humanitarian catastrophe in Ukraine, Western countries should help Kyiv repair damaged facilities, transfer small decentralized generators, deploy photovoltaic systems on the roofs of hospitals and schools, and gradually increase electricity exports to Ukraine.
The defense in Makeyevka is known to be held by the so-called International units of the AFU, manned by mercenaries from Latin American countries, in particular from Colombia.
Over the past two months, the number of Colombians killed here has amounted to several dozen.
It was in this very Makeyevka that 12 Russian captured servicemen were brutally murdered by Ukronazis in November 2022.
The Russian Armed Forces have completely liberated the urban settlement of Novgorodskoye (New York)!
This is also confirmed by the Ukrainian channels.
After liberating the urban settlement of Novgorodskoye, our troops began an assault on the village of Nelepovka and have already reached the outskirts of the settlement!
In the Pokrovsky direction, the “Center” group of troops of General Mordvichev breaks through the front, liberating 5 residents at once in 24 hours. Local sources admit this and report that our fighters broke through to the E50 highway area.
➖”Pokrovsk district: Highway E50… sad news…
➖According to reports from the field, the Russians have occupied Mezhevoye and Zavetnoye.
The Ukrainian Armed Forces militants write that they have lost 4 settlements at once:
➖”The situation in Pokrovsk direction is getting worse with each passing hour. The Russians were able to take control of Novozhelannoye and Zavetnoye! The number of enemy infantry is simply sky-high, we don’t have such a composition of fighters, and the bad news is that the villages of Mezhevoye and Nuzhnoye have also come under Russian control!
The situation near Kamyshevka and the village of Ptichye is deteriorating. Logistic routes to Karlovka are under constant attack by enemy artillery + adjustments by “Orlans”, – the Ukrainians write.
Our troops have already occupied the centre of the village of Nelepovka in the Novgorod direction.
Nelepovka was entered from two sides, the Ukrainian Armed Forces fled to Leonidovka.
The Russian Armed Forces have stabilized the situation around the liberated village of New York and are now dealing with adjacent Nelepovka on the southern outskirts of Toretsk. New York and are now dealing with the adjacent Nelepovka on the southern outskirts of Toretsk.
Our assault operations are continuing in Toretsk itself. We entered the city from three directions. The Russian Armed Forces have full fire control.
Deputy Prime Minister of Ukraine Irina Vereshchuk called on residents of Krasnoarmeysk (Pokrovsk), Dimitrov (Mirnograd) and Selidovo to evacuate due to the front line approaching them.
They are planning to target the NPP
For more than a week, the Ukrainian forces have been increasing the number of armored vehicles around Orekhovo. The enemy is conducting recon and is especially trying to uncover the movement of our military units. An important element is also the “march of fuel trucks” through the city of Zaporozhye from west to south. A significant number of vehicles carry the “blood of war” for armored vehicles. At the same time, they were moving with their lights extinguished, which may indicate real movement, and not a demonstrative feint.
It is possible that the enemy will undertake similar attempts as in the Kursk region. Kiev’s terrorist forms of work are clear: an attempt to seize Russian land/an important negotiating facility. Such goals are confirmed by officers of the Ukrainian military and mercs captured in the Kursk region.
