What Ukraine’s month-long Russia offensive means for the war

- In a single month, Ukraine claims to have taken 500 square miles of Russian territory and to control more than a 100 settlements in the Kursk region.
[Subscribe: bit.ly/C4_News...]
It is a bold and surprising strategy employed by President Volodomyr Zelenskyy’s forces, that has taken both his enemy and allies by surprise. The campaign, he says, has prevented Russia’s Vladimir Putin from opening a new northern front in Ukraine.
But, analysts are split on whether Ukraine’s push into Kursk is a smart or dangerous move by Ukraine’s leader - in the same month, with some Ukraine’s most experienced troops occupied in Kursk, Russia have pushed their forces deeper into the Donbas and are poised to take the Ukrainian city of Pokrovsk.
So why did Ukraine’s leader take this risk and why is the past month of fighting between Russia and Ukraine some of the most significant in the war to date?
With thanks to Professor Mark Galeotti - his latest book, co-written with Anna Arutunyan is called ‘Downfall: Prigozhin and Putin, and the New Fight for the Future of Russia’

It’s easy to invade Russia if you know history but extremely hard to keep or get out…😂
But its not a long march to Moscow is it,
You don't need to know history you just need to look at a map.
…The Russians are likely to find the holding of Ukraine equally difficult, even the 12% they now control…
The US decides every attack, they do all the intelligence as well. To say this was a surprise to NATO is simply ridiculous.
'To say this was a surprise to NATO is simply ridiculous.'
They lie. Kursk was devised by the US and UK and now it is seen as resulting in the loss of Donbass, they will pretend they had nothing to do with it.
yeah US even provided intelligence to Prigozhin when he was marching toward Moscow!
This is literally an example that Ukraine doesn't tell everthing to any of its alliances, makes sense any country would to the same in a time of war, even their allies are information liabilities. This is a war that changes boarders and will change the world as a whole.
No doubt the point of the war, is to show how weak Russia really is, and Ukraine is trying to free themselves of Western control.
I wouldn't be surprised if Ukraine has, or is working on, the means of developing a nuclear weapon, its why they need Western support, its the red lines Putain won't be specific because he is banking on the fear factor, he doesn't know the capabilities of what Ukraine and their allies might do. The drone warfare has already set him back and that because of the Russian government that they take so many losses. Putain wants to win with attrition.
If Zelensky's boys had reached Kursk or at least the nuclear power plant, I would have said that it is, however, something serious. But the actor's followers stopped 30 km from the border, after conquering a town with 6,000 inhabitants that the Russians did not even defend. In the same time of one month, the Russians conquered 3 large cities of Donetsk and several villages, with a total of 65,000 inhabitants, desperately defended by the Ukrainian troops. Mr. Galeotti, please wake up to reality, otherwise you're making a fool of yourself.
whilst Russia took 3 large cities in the poorset region of Europe, NATO gained Sweden and Finland....
It's been a disaster, the Elite brigades was sent in by Zelensky with the help of us Brits who planned the whole incursion on a suicide mission, thousands have been KIA, and to add Ukraine have not captured any territory, just passed through it and a lot of these troops more than likely won't return.
Another humiliation for NATO.
Another humiliation for MOST WANTED MAN ON EARTH WAR CRIMINALS POOH-TIN . AS BEEN HUMILIATED BY UKRAINE LIKE 50 TIMES IN 2024 AS A LOSERS @
Yes US didn’t provide satellite intelligence for Ukraine to go ahead into Kursk 😂 US didn’t know anything 😶
They never played a part in the coup, never wooed them to join the eu and nato, never did nothing
and pigs really do fly
intelligence of what?! empty forests? old women?
Zelenskiy was not smart, why should he listen to the advice of the so called American commanders like Ben Hadson.
Every predictions and advice that they gave rather were opposite.
A number one strong countries in the world that has never win a war before, even with allies.
They always run away fron Vietnam, Cuba, Somalia, Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan and the rest.
One fanny part of it is that they were chased out of Afghanistan by ordinary herdsmen with AK47.

Why wouldn't Putin laugh when Ukraine put some of their best troops and military hardware in a platter called Kursk, and handed them over to Russia.
@@XaberSL true lol
So true! 😂
Rich politicians playing geopolitical games, young soldiers dying for their games ...
So... Why did so many of Ukraine's top govt officials resign following this new tactic? Serious question
That’s how democracies work … your a dictators doormat ain’t you
They didn't resign, they were sacked. Ukraine is still weeding out Soviet / Russian era corruption.
Zelensky is using the correct approach. A wholesale clear out would destabilise the country. Simple mistake the USA made in Iraq when they eradicated the Baath party, backbone of the Iraq administration.
William the Conqueror kept the Anglo-Saxon admin intact until he had stabilised England.
That's what Western propaganda reported, but before that, lots of Ukrainian MPs either resigned or tried to do so and bolted out of the country! Rats and ships.
LOL @! BCS THEY WERE CORRUPT , THEY WERE FIRED ASKED TO RESIGN OR ARRESTED THE CHOICE WAS GIVEN SO THEY RESIGNED @
But then you turn around and claim ukraine has taken more land in this scenario then russia has? This is a bold faced lie.
More land in the same amount of time. Of course nobody thinks that Ukraine has taken more territory when the invaders have taken over 10% of the country.
@@samuelcroll344 thats not true either. Russia has been advancing on a dozen fronts during this same time.
@@operator9858 All you need to do is look at the war map. Nobody is claiming Russia has made any significant gains this past month. It has taken them 9 months to push to Novohrodivka from Donetsk, not exactly lightning warfare. That's not even mentioning the extreme attrition Russia has gone through to accomplish that, now relying on conscripts and ancient weaponry. Russia has gone from the second best in the world to the second best in Russia.
@@samuelcroll344 nobody in the mainstream media you mean? Because all the alternative media is talking about this. Many on a daily basis.
not very clever, are you? lol buying russian propaganda
America knew everything what Ukraine doing.
Obviously, they have microphones that record every sound in the ocean, their satellites are the only reason for world wide GPS, the internet lines are ran and maintained by America
Merely one month before this attack the US and UK governments authorized 'using their weapons for strikes inside Russia'. Of course they knew.. probably planned together too.
Zelensky sais it is a success and that Ukraine is winning, so all is good right?
Channel 4 coverage during this conflict has been disappointing imo
Exactly, Russia offered multiple peace deals such as Minsk I and Minsk II before the war ... then a peace deal in April 2022 that NATO vetoed, our clown BoJo didn't help either, he wanted war, if there was such a deal Ukraine would have kept the Donbas. But now Soros which includes BlackRock almost own Ukraine.
How so
@@alastairbowyer7936 Its failure to publicly criticise Putin an ICC fugitive while questioning Ukraines military. Zelensky is doing a job none of us would envy in extremely dire circumstances that most would have run into exile from and all with dithering support from its wavering western backers.

@@alastairbowyer7936 Channel 4 is typical of western media, spinning optimistic narratives and delusions to save western face. It is difficult to admit that Russia is defeating 50 nations who ganged up against it, after boasting NATO is the richest and most powerful military alliance in the world.
Just look at their concluding remarks : the pendulum will swing back to Ukraine in 2025, because western artillery production will have kicked in.
Contrast with the military reality : Ukraine is set to lose Donbass and open the way for Russian advance to central Ukraine. Ukraine has a serious manpower shortage, and after the ongoing Donbass and Kursk operations, more will be dead. So more western artillery shells will not change the reality.
Useless channel, like the rest
It was a miscalculation😂. If CIA was behind this strategy, USA should be worried😂. Even Nazi Germany was not able to keep a portion of Russia territory. It is very idiot to think one second that the actual Ukraine could handle.
They never intended to keep the land(and they can't). The plan was to go in quick, make a rapid advance and capture Kursk nuclear power plant, which will then be used as a bargaining chip. The element of surprise was there and it did indeed catch Russia off guard. However the biggest miscalculation on Ukraine/NATO part was the Russian response. (NATO has a history of grossly underestimating Russia). The second objective was the PR and Western media attention which they got to the fullest during the initial days. Unfortunately for Ukraine that's where things went wrong. Now they are stuck in Kursk and unable to move North West as planned. However I suspect Ukraine still has some troops ready for a second front in the north although they are longer able to achieve any element of surprise.
Ukranian troops are dying in huge numbers in the Kursk region. It's ridiculous. What were they thinking?😮😮😮
Battle of the Bulge moment. Act of desperation rather than cold and calculated decision.
Why does Germany have to be off the hook?
Ow that right US imperialism
No comment on how many Ukrainians are dead at this point and how many have left the country with no intention of returning?
Many lost their life but how fast Ukraine went into Russia it means less Ukrainians and more Russians.
@@DardaniaLion Well, I doubt that. Because now Russians taking the donbas faster.
@@DardaniaLion How? they deliberately chose a crossing thats barely defended.
He just killed 10000 troops in kurek with missles
U didnt see on tv when a big russian rocket hit a entire building of flats and only 1 person dead and 2 injuries .😮
What it means for the war?
1. Zelensky used the last few elite professional well-equipped brigades meant for Donbass front to attack Kursk region.
2. Donbass front has collapsed: Russian army is taking at least 1 settlement a day, and mind you, beyond Pokrovsk NATO did not build any major defense lines; Ukrainians are surrendering (sometimes whole units).
3. In Kursk region, elite Ukrainian forces were either destroyed or suffered heavy losses. Russians are slowly pushing Ukrainians out.
If NATO-Zelensky's idea behind the Kursk adventure was to draw Russian forces from Donbass, it failed; if the idea was to take territories and force Russia to exchange part of the Kursk region for Donbass, Kherson, Zaporozhie, and Crimea, it failed; if the idea was to start civil unrest in Russia, it failed spectacularly. Now, people are even more in support of the Special Operation than they were before.
Approx 10k Ukrainian Elite soldiers deleted in kursk . But hey ! Don't mention all this or else you'll be called names.
Propaganda 😂
Ukraine used the last of its best forces to invade a forest of no military value in the middle of nowhere.
Russian bot crying about their three day special military operation taking three years 😂😂
What are your qualifications?
An act of desperation, like the Ardennes offensive. Instead of achieving a casualty ratio of 1:4 in the Donbas, they're now losing it.
@@Pierluigi_Di_LorenzoRussia bots desperate these days 😂😂😂😂😁😂!
@@tomthebomb09 Name calling is your only counter argument, you must be very dumb or very young. Probably both.
Wow you actually mentioned the election as a justification? Good job!
You attack at the weakest point to cause the biggest dilemma and put pressure on your opponent. This is how a land war works.
Your aim is to destroy the military capability of your enemy, this just did not do that. They expected that Russia would move forces because of this, but they did not. As now they can use conscripts to defend their territory, meaning they can use even larger force against Ukraine.
@@Nobody-Nowhere Regardless of these reports, this offensive inevitably means that Russia will have to commit more troops to defending its northern territory from future incursions and to pushing out the Ukrainians in order to avoid humiliation, war is also a long term game in which bolstering your support, pushing red lines, and taking over 1200 kilometers cannot be a negative.
Maintaining a 1:4 casualty rate while holding important terrain is how land war worked.
@@user-sd3ik9rt6d The weakest point being a forest with no one in it.
@@amarcamovic1791 It's a zero sum game. In order to make the Russians commit troops you need Ukrainian troops. It's clear that the Ukrainians troops are needed in the Donbas.

Another influencer clip from zelensky demanding more money

Was Zelensky hoping that Russia would overreact, 9:58 giving an excuse for Nato to enter the war directly.
What is happening in Ukraine is terrible, but a larger war is not the solution. It's time for the politicians to start doing some work towards ending this war.
That wasn't the reason at all. The reason to take Russian land is if Trump gets in power then the wont support Ukraine meaning they have to surrender. The problem is Russia get to keep what land they took. meaning Ukraine concede to land loss. But if they have Russian land, then they can negotiate for swapping land for land. Much of this is probably wishful thinking by Trump, because several months the negotiation, Russia will rebuild its military and attack Ukraine again. Like they have since 2014. And the war will start again. So basically Trump is going to ruin things if he gets into power.
Russia need to go home and care about there own country and not steal someone elses
You don't understand, US, UK and EU have been preparing for this war since 2014. US Senator Richard Black said: "The decision for war was made in US..."
This war has very clear objectives: 1. To weaken (or destroy) Russia; 2. To appropriate all of Ukraine's natural resources. Currently, over 78% of Ukrainian agricultural land belongs to international companies, 52,3% -- to US; UK wants to have its naval bases on the Black Sea (before the war it had one near Ismail but it is now largely destroyed); Ukraine has $12 TRILLION worth of critical minerals wanted by US (US Senator Lindsey Graham) and 90% of it is in Donbass.
US, UK and EU will fight this war to the last Ukrainian.
This was the dumbest military move in this conflict. Stop spinning it into anything more.

@@emmabrooker166 Every five minutes in the video they shout a salute to the UPA who worked for the nationalist party of Germany in WWII. Isn't that propaganda?
We all know . We are aware of these media houses acting as cheerleaders
The perceived invincibility of the Russians stems from the Red Army’s victory against the Nazis, where it used Human Wave Tactics with no concern for the resultant astronomical casualties.
But history does not support this Russian invincibility, with the Russians losing many conflicts:
The Russian-Japanese war (1904-1905)
First World War (1914-1917)
The Soviet-Poland war (1919-1921)
Winter war against Finland (1939-1940)
Afghan war
(1979-1989)
First Chechnya war
(1994-1996)
The Cold War
(1945-1992)
The outcome of the Russia-Ukraine war (2022-?) is not yet known, but Russia is far from winning and western military support of Ukraine with the weapons they need would make victory near certain
NATO should now call Putin’s bluff by significantly increasing the defence budget of member countries and increase its military aid to Ukraine, with the weapons they need
A channel of Cheerleaders, with propaganda on their heads .
The situation along the front in eastern Ukraine is critical and continues to deteriorate. Unlike before, it is almost impossible to identify the geographical focus of the Russian offensive. Of course, Pokrovsk, but if we are honest, Russia is also advancing along the entire 50 km south to Vuhledar. To the north of there, Toretsk is the focus of the Russian army, but not only that. Russian offensive efforts are also underway in Chasiv Yar. And for the first time in almost two years, they are also advancing again in Luhansk and eastern Kharkiv. The Ukrainian army has a whole host of problems that it cannot currently deal with. Geographically very thinned out (keyword Kursk), but also too many fresh and therefore still inexperienced soldiers, too few capable leadership personnel and of course the well-known disaster: far too little Western support in terms of weapons and ammunition.
The Ukrainian soldiers can hardly explain the catastrophe. In some areas, areas are falling so quickly that they suspect an order to retreat. They also consider rotations that have already been carried out and planned to be dangerous for holding the front.
The Ukrainian adventure in Kursk has not been able to achieve any astonishing results. Now, Kyiv is burning their reserves that in other cases may have been used to support its crumbling defense in the Donbass.
There have been several variations on a joke going around that says, “Georgi Zhukov appeared to Putin in a dream and said that to defeat Russia’s enemies he must send the bravest Ukrainians to the front”.
Though amusing, I wonder what Eric Von Manstein might say to Zelensky if he came to him in a dream perhaps it would be, “Whatever you do, don’t try to turn the war around with a Kursk offensive”
The number of people signing up to serve in the Russian army has skyrocketed, with more than six times as many recruits in 2024 compared to last year.
In the first half of 2024, 166,000 people received a one-time payment for joining, up from just 26,700 during the same period in 2023.

😆you cant take a small breaf and hoppe america didnt heared or didnt knew it😅
Russia broke through the lines whilst a rotation was happening and gain a large amount of ground, Ukraine had to do something to try to get russia to pull troups from the lines where the break through happened, this didnt work as they pulled troups from else where in eastern Ukraine.
This gained land from russian territory can be used to trade lands in any peace talks in the future.
Also ukraine needed to do this so they can hit the airfields that are hitting ukraine troups on the line in ukraine as the west would not give permission to hit these airfields..

Propaganda is literally flying.. stop this, Ukraine already Lost it
How you can have the excellent Mark Galeotti on as an expert, but come to the most lazy conclusions is mystifying. That’s some razor-sharp editing to arrive at your own point. The forces that invaded Kursk were securing from a Russian counter-offensive from being repeated in Sumy and Ukraine got the drop on Russia. Far from “not taking the bait” all of Russia’s offensives except Pokrovsk & Vuhedar have notably now ceased in the last month as 60,000 Russian troops (Moscow’s figure) have been redeployed there. Not sure how you quote an unnamed “top General” in Ukraine saying the Kursk strategy hasn’t worked, when the most senior General Syrskyi said exactly the opposite just 2 days ago. Also the idea that Russia’s advance in Donbas (half of the distance Ukraine’s moved in Kursk) will get them any closer to destabilising Ukraine is pretty facile. Russia’s goals are always 1-2 major cities away from success, but it’s been that way since 2022 and still Luhansk and Donetsk are the only major Ukrainian cities in their hands, as they were after the 2014 push. Yet still Russia look fragile in defence, so how can they hope to hold this territory without an international peace designed to apease an aggressive fascist state.
Is someone in your organisation being paid $100,000 a video by Russia Today?
dunno im wondering who is paying you though...you can write as much as you like doesn't alter the fact Russia is winning
LOL. Kursk offensive has been stalled by Russia. Look miss, THERE ARE NO MORE GOOD NEWS FROM BBC, CNN, NBC about Kursk. It is because Ukrainian forces have been stopped by Russian forces. In the eastern part of Ukraine, Russian advances are progressing. That is why Ukraine is begging for more weapons. Even your coveted F-16 is nowhere.
We will know the truth well after the peace is signed, like all things there must be an end. Until then enjoy the pageantry & your tax pounds being spent in the name of freedom & democracy. I am still clueless to what that means because no one agree what it means nor does. Is freedom being able to get cancer amongst others from excess radiation due to climate change & the chemicals from our food or is that democracy.
After two half years neither side is winning for someone who has always been interested in warfare this is the most boring war I've ever watched. Russia comes out the worst with all the military might should have had at the beginning make an easy victory then fluffed it. Then Ukrainians did the same with that quick advance from Kharkiv without pushing further. It's like watching two old blind men having a fist fight in the back garden getting nowhere.

If Ukraine had not given up its Nukes for border security their would have been no war at all.
Those nukes were from moscow
Ukrain has no acces no codes no usage unless they sell them illigally in the black market
( iran and middle eastern nations from the 90s would be intrested)
For quick fire sale
But no way hozay ukrain ever had nukes
They were firing platforms and locations to fire from
FYI ... Ukraine did not have any Nuke. The Soviet Union had Nukes in Ukraine, because Ukraine was a state of the Soviet Union. Remember it is always important to explain things correctly.
@@vivianpryce7885 .that is somewhat correct., however with no more USSR the nukes had to be destroyed or sent to Russia who was also a state of the Soviet Union.....The West was stupid enough to think that Russia was the safest place for nukes.,....so THEY facilitated the agreement that saw all nukes removed from Ukraine and taken to Russia ......in return for the guarantee of border security. Ukraine was basically a nation with little military up until 2014 and would not have needed much.
1. Ukrainian SSR had nukes as part of the USSR's defense SYSTEM.
2. Ukraine had no means to support/look after nukes Ukrainian SSR had.
3. Neither Ukrainian SSR nor Ukraine had the means to OPERATE these nukes but Ukrainian corrupt oligarchs had every opportunity to sell them to terrorists.
That's why US insisted on Ukraine giving up the nukes. Besides, as US Senator Richard Black said: "The decision for war was made in US..."
