    I meant that Ukraine is now retreating from Kursk and therefore it looks like Russia has the advantage there. Yes, I am aware that Russia advances are basically a crawl but there’s no denying that Ukraine won’t hold parts of Kursk which they hoped to use as a bargaining chip in negotiations.

      I prefer to call them joint Russian/North Korean advances, because Russia needs to buy slaves from a pariah state to make any significant gains. As I understand, NK troops are only present in Kursk.

        They probably don’t care what we call them, they have no shame. Funny thing is, we have NK slaves working in EU in plain sight as well. There’s been a report couple of years ago from Poland that got some international coverage but this has not ended then and those reports keep popping up to this day. Oh, the joys of living in a capitalist hellhole.

      Yes, which is the only metric that seemingly the world and it’s news care about…

      Not the fact that by doing this Russia has destroyed it’s vast military equipment reserves from the Sovietunion, gutted it’s navy, airforce and so forth

      But yes, it is quite unfortunate - especially as it is giving putin the means to dictate the “ceasefire” that his lapdog (trump) is giving him
