    I didn't sleep much, either. I kept checking the news. Ukraine values life and even toilets!๐Ÿ˜‚
  • @SammywiseG
    Ukraine isn't invading Kursk. They're just reclaiming their traditional territory, their portion of Severia. ๐Ÿ™‚
  • @carlyoung6827
    How the russians missed it? Ukraine didn't tell the US what they were going to do. The Pentagon leaks like a 100 year old boat.
  • @WS-zd4jz
    Ukraine holding the pipeline terminal and possibly the nuclear plant would pose a significant problem for Putin. Why ask permission from the US, just do it, you're on a roll.
  • @kentabler290
    they shouldnt have to ask permission, once those weapons hit Ukrains soil they become Ukrainian
  • @tonydisibio4236
    ITS Called a Brilliant Military MOVE who had the B***S to do it, Slava Ukraine. God Bless.
  • @steffee99
    Breaking News-This just in... thousands of Moscow volunteers have mounted their bicycles and are furiously peddling towards kursk!
  • @lexdeobesean
    Ukraine caught Russia with its pants down lol ๐Ÿ˜‚
  • @deanbalouris330
    So, does Russia dare pull a large contingent of its army out of Ukraine to try to push Ukraine back out of Russia? Thatโ€™s the million dollar question.
  • @paulyoung4422
    10,000 Ukrainians, would be a low estimate. This is a major roll of the dice.
  • @alanadair4893
    Go Ukraine go ,and for you prof fra Scotland donโ€™t go back ๐Ÿ˜Š
  • @JC-ql3ld
    This is not an incursion. This is a "special military operation" so as to protect Ukrainian speaking people everywhere, de communize Sudzha, and bring Sudzha back home to Ukraine where it belongs. The people of Sudzha have "overwhelmingly" voted in a referendum to rejoin with Ukraine. Sudzha is "historically" Ukraine and has been since 1664 and was a town in Sumy, Ukraine. #SudzhaIsUkraine
  • @delpinsky
    As a Ukrainian soldier told a Russian citizen of Sudzha who was asking him what to do now: "learn the Ukrainian anthem and prepare for the referendum" ๐Ÿ˜
  • @WeimarAmerica
    Every captured Russian conscript will be given unlimited opportunity to call relatives at home, I'm sure... *smiles
  • I've got it now! Instead of swapping prisoners, SWAP TERRITORY!!
  • Ukraine had a choice to send its brigades to be grinded defending untenable positions in Donbass or do better. They chose to do better. Score big PR and morale points, capture lots of POWs for exchange, facilitate infiltration of sabotage groups, put pressure on escalation-averse politicians in the West and still keep options open.
  • @ejred3
    The Russians wanted a buffer zone? I hope they like that Kursk buffer zone ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚
  • @oddarnek
    They built up on the border against Belarus. Then they negotiated with Lukasjenko and withdrew towards Kursk. Putin and Lukasjenko thought they were superior and scared them off, but it was a faint, a very clever one.
