Not many buddy. Ukraine has lost half its population for good (nearly 20 million have fled ). It has lost its young and strong men on the battlefields (its future DNA). Above all it has lost any good will with their fellow Slavs. Madness.
Ukraine is known as one of the most corrupt countries in the planet. Yet it is a country with the most amazing soil and array of natural resources. They have always lost their minds in greed and silky notions of Western fairytales. They had it all and blew it.
Kiev diverted thousands of it's troops for a pointless PR victory. Moscow did not need to divert any troops to continue rapidly advancing towards Pokrovsk.
Maybe the point is to focus the Western media on the victorious "drive to Kursk" while the whole Donbass front collapses? That would keep the collapse out of the news before the Nov. election?
Maybe not so pointless, depending upon what the motivations were and what happens. For example, let's say you own a candy store next to a bank. And let's say you want to rob the bank.

Kursk 2024 is no different to Kursk 1943, albeit on a much smaller scale. The Germans were not alone, as they had vassals and volunteers from Hungary, Romania Croatia, Italy, Spain, the Baltics, Scandinavians, Danes, basically NATO in its infancy!

Alexander, could you talk about all the “state of the art” Western technology that has been laid to waste in Kursk? It has always been a Western fairytale that nobody on earth could match our technological know how. This myth is well and truly dead for good.
Technology is not magic, it is just part of a whole system from training to how to use the gear tactically and operationally, and each machine is optimized for a particular role in a scenario which the builder is betting will actually happen. But what if another scenario occurs? A "Challenger II" or a HIMARS vehicle that drive around alone and are spotted are dead. For details, I can refer the esteemed listener to "smoothieX12" (who is strong for Russia and the Soviet Union to a degree that some affirmations need to be regarded with some scepticism, but okay)
@@SterileNeutrino The puke proxy forces have been given ample stocks of the 'game changers' and extensive training on their use by the best instructors NATO can offer, yet every single one has fallen well short of expectations.
the US involvement in organising an invasion of Russia isn't something Russians should forgive. I hope the Russians never forget this and they help in kinetic actions against US targets in future conflicts
America is strong the policy of one administration does not mean Americans agree with it but don’t try our boys we will win this administration is in the way out the door through voting just like a democracy is supposed to do most Americans did not want this but joe and his advisors thought it would be a good idea to get into a fight with the Russians bringing the world closer than ever before to total destruction
Ukraine has invaded Russia .There is nothing the Russian military can do about it.A million Russian men have died or injured in this 10 year war. Russia need to surrender. Russia has got no where.
US and Russia are at war. Disgusting war fought at UN, financial institutions and military proxys. Ukraine is only the beginning. Russian goals 1. NATO collapse 2. EU break up. 3. BRICKS to break US economic hegemoni. If Putin succeed. Putin will go down in history as 'The Great' And US empire will be a chapter in history books. No, the US is fighting for its life. Direct war with Russia are not a good tactic for survival .Try breaking it are a option. But no. The Slavic's in Russia and different tribes and ethnic groups have a tendency to gather and stand strong as a unity in time of crisis,.
The vast majority of humanity lives in an economically highly globalized and connected world. If any major local conflict were to happen, it would have a profound impact not only on multinational companies and their profits, but on the economies of almost all countries. For example, if Iran and the USA went to war, it would lead to the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, and the price of oil would skyrocket. The wars that are being waged, like this one in Afghanistan, are of a local character and completely irrelevant. The same as the civil wars in Yemen, Syria, Sonalia, Libya. Essentially irrelevant conflicts of various ethnic and religious factions, as in the Middle Ages. Once upon a time, Indochina was synonymous with wars and suffering, but today it is a country with unprecedented economic development and progress. The Chinese used to have nothing to eat and their main occupation was waving red booklets and Mao Zedong. Today, they have one of the most developed high-speed rail systems in the world. And they produce absolutely everything from pins to locomotives. This also applies to Russia, which now has a higher quality of life than during the USSR, and a longer life expectancy.
“this one in Afghanistan” ? “irrelevant”? I am afraid you are a neocolonial mutant off your rocker. Libya is so irrelevant NATO tried to destroy it but, hwy it still has all,that gas and oil, rare earths and helps the US destroy the EU via boaties to Italy and Greece.
Indochina is not a nation but a region. And than Russia used to have a higher life expectancy, however in 2021 it dipped below the level the USSR had in 1987. Now more recent data if it was available might show a return to previous levels as with Covid every nation toke a big hit to their life expectancy. And while Russia does have a higher quality of life than the USSR, it does still lag behind most other former Warsaw pact nations, even more so when remove the cities of St.Petersburg and Moscow which are more trophy cities than any other city in Russia.
The military tactics used in the raid on Kursk seem to be typically Nato tactics. Small groups entered the russian territory and gained ground fast because there were almost no defence from Russia and few, a mostly rural population, lived there. The problem now for Ukraine may be that the lines are not closed because there is no big army to secure broader pieces of land and mostly all is fields with few roads is just to be on a platform with no place to hide for Ukrain, certainly it cannot be said that so much square miles are won while in reality there are big holes in the occupated land.
Than if these lines are so thinly held is it taking Russia over a week to even start containing the Ukrainian attack? Why is it that Russia seems to be struggling to contain these "small units" if they advance like this?

"We are suffering heavy losses. The brigade is destroyed." While all attention is focused on the Kursk adventure, the militants are not getting any better in other areas. In the 47th Brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, for example, the situation is worse than ever. Militant 47 says: the recruits don’t know how and don’t want to fight, the defence is “leaky,” the Russian Armed Forces are destroying the militants, and they can’t respond. "We are being replenished with people who cannot and do not want to fight. ... Enemy FPVs destroy equipment 20 km from the line of contact, our electronic warfare systems do not help... The officers are helpless and stupid..." The militant notes separately: Ukraine is losing, and the Kiev regime is only contributing to this. "People are ready for negotiations... The division of power and the lining of the pockets of officials and the military are still going on. Nothing is changing." This cry from the heart well characterizes the state of affairs in the Armed Forces of Ukraine as a whole. The "fuse" that fueled the militants in 2022-2023 has long since died out, and even the Kursk adventure has not ignited it. The Ukrainian Armed Forces continue to slowly collapse due to losses, the greed of officials and the unwillingness of people to fight.
MILITARY TUBE TODAY - Most of the Ukrainian soldiers who did not want to take part in the desperate farce, laid down their weapons and ran to the side of the Russian troops, where two another soldiers Sergey Bochenko and Mikhail Shkoda, will tell a long story about the Kursk scandal at the end of the long video, reported by the Russian Defense Ministry. The scene that came on August 15, 2024, showing the mass surrender of Ukrainian soldiers and even women, was a big mess for Kiev in every sense. This group of twelve people, came to the positions of Russian troops on the border, they did not want to maintain Zelensky's plan with Western partners, in the early days of their invasion of Russian soil there's not even light at the end! - Military Tube Today
"This group of twelve people, came to the positions of Russian troops on the border" Wow, Boy oh boy, 12 people that is what Alex M. would call a "Mass surrender" by the Ukrainians, of course we just had a real "Mass surrender" of 103 Russians in arms in Kursk region on Wednesday , but , of course Alex M. will not mention that because its a Ukrainian success..
UK TRAINED UKRAINIANS TO ATTACK RUSSIA'S KURSK: British instructors in England taught Ukrainian troops, part of incursion into pre-war Kursk , to conduct “raids on high-rise buildings” just before Kiev sent them to attempt to invade Russia, A month before they were dispatched into Kursk, some of the unit were sent to England where they underwent a few days of training alongside British soldiers - pictured article reveals extent of West's participation in Ukraine conflict. Results of British training can be seen in right pic as Ukrainian soldiers now join their brothers from Nazi Germany in fertilizing Russian soil. - Intel Republic
Yesterday Kadirov's troops, the akhmat warriors, captured some Ukrainian soldiers, and interviewed them, they were terrified, but not by the akhmat men, but by their own comrades. They said they took them from the agricultural fields, and in a week of training they brought them to the front, unable to shoot people, they said they were threatened to advance. However they said there were 4000 men in total, during the attack. Now I wonder, if the Russians killed 1600, how can the rest control a square kilometer of sector. And these akhmat men were in the town of Suzha, the one that Zelensky says is controlled by them
"Now I wonder, if the Russians killed 1600, how can the rest control a square kilometer of sector. " Very simple its not 4000 its probably up to 10,000 to 15,000 UA troops highly dispersed in Kursk region and the Russians likely did not kill 1600 UA forces. That's Russian MoD figures which rarely make any sense whatsoever...
@@JohnJohnson-n3nActually much as Alexander states the figures released more often than not tally with those the west quote. Also the idea that AFU units are at full strength is debatable, usually these battalions are at maned levels that don’t reflect reality. This has been an ongoing issue so isn’t up for debate as western media has reported this too.
@@neilba1 To achieve what exactly? Except spreading yourself out thin, and wasting money people donated for you to get land back with a new front into Russia that you have to support and defend on our dime.
Ukraine preparing ‘dirty nuke’ attack - RT "Ukrainian forces have begun preparations to target nuclear waste storage sites at a Russian power plant with radioactive warheads and to then blame Moscow, according to intelligence received by Russia."
Russia trying this stupid talking point again?? They already tried this last year when Russia claimed that Ukraine was making a dirty bomb and called the IAEA in, which found no evidence what so ever of a dirty bomb. Man Russia is desperate to try to make Ukraine out as some kind of monster.
The incursion into Kursk is like a high school student fighting Mike Tyson and the coach of the student (NATO) told the student to hit Tyson's teeth with his ear....
Love these channels, full of people coping. Whats just happened is that Ukraine has taken over 30 percent of the Russian economy in capturing the gas plant the main rail hub to Donetsk. by demolishing the bridge they have also trapped another thousand russian conscripts who are expected to surrender soon. Meanwhile Russia concentrates their meta grinder tactics on capturing an insignificant bit of land. Keep on coping.
That certainly does look like cope, you should get over it though eventually. What is the significance of the gas plant? What road and rail links does Russia have to the Donbass? What is happening around Pokrovsk?
if tomorrow Helensky asks for more "Patriot" systems do not be surprised. At list three of them were destroyed last 2-3 days in Dnepr region plus IRIS-T and three HIMARS systems in Sumy region
The name Pokrovsk: Originally the town was founded by the railroad company (note the assault coming via the rail line) as Grishino. In the Soviet period this eventually became Krasnoarmeysk (Red Army Town). In 2016, the Ukrainian Rada passed a law changing many town names in a process of de-communistification, including this one to Pokrovsk (Protection Town, after a disappeared church, The Church of the Protection of the Most Holy Mother of God). Who knows what's next?
Thank you for bringing up the ORIGINAL name of Pakrovsk. Some newer viewers may not be aware of the extent or level of change the neo-nazi's were enacting in Ukraine. We who have kept updated and research for ourselves can't possibly find everything.
This has been on my mind since day one.Ukraine is trying to rewrite history but denying results of false planning. Napoleon woke up as he was dashing to safety.
Which explains why it's turned into a real piece of shit for Ukraine so quickly. If you ever try the junk they call food in McDonalds or the dishwater they call coffee in Starbucks, you'll know what I mean.
The nato webpage with the story "16 NATO Allies and partners take part in exercise BALTOPS 22" does not show a photo of Nordstream Gilligan or the skipper, but it does have a photo of an ideal ship for scuba divers, the USS Kearsage moored in Stockholm.
How's life in the UK 🇬🇧 Alexander. No problems to this point? Lol, scary times, my friend. I hope all is well. Thanks for the information keep working, it's more important than ever. Peace ✌️ 😎 from the free west?
Pokrovsk, as I understand is the lynch-pin in the Ukrainians defense of Donbas. The Russian capture of Pokrovsk will be similar in significance to the capture of the Port of Mariupol. It will give the Russians complete control of the Donbas front-line.
I heard some information that was praising Ukraine for a "Master plan" yeah I passed on that channel. So glad we have you Alexander to tell us the truth. Have a "Good Day".
AFU were keeping people hostage in Mariupol and other former Ukrainian cities, they've been torturing and killing civilians of Donbass for years, of Belgorod and Kursk regions for months. Alexander is definitely aware of this, he doesn't speak of it often but has mentioned a few times. I don't understand why he finds it hard to believe that Ukrainians would take this opportunity to harass and take hostage Russian civilians in the Kursk region.
One of the early uses of the extra range of the HIMARS systems the West gave to Ukraine was to shell the center of Donetsk City, something that had no military purpose but to kill civilians.
This is mainly BS. The Donbas rebels and Russians from the very first in 2014 put innocent Ukrainian civilians in basement prisons in the LPR/DPR puppet regimes where they were tortured and held for ransom... often by local gangsters since any law and order in the DPR/LPR was initially non-existent...
I just wonder why in this comment arena some people make fun of the serious things. People are killed and madness continues. Fear of God has disappeared. Sorry to say this.
In the soviet union all big buildings, in size, were designed keeping in mind the lessons of the famous grain elevator of Stalingrad. Especially those on the western part where repeated invasions occured
Thank you Alexander; In a desperate situatioin any idea seems possible, so If those 12K soldiers who entered Kursk were send to Donetsk they probably woud be eliminated so why not sending them to try something else like capturing a NPP, with a success probabilty of 50%, may be this was the idea behind the Kursk operation, in addition to many other known reasons relevant to the Russian -Ukraine war.

"First Russia takes Pokrovsk then Russia takes Kiev." Little problem of geography . The two places are nowhere near one another. Ukraine is a BIG place...
@@JohnJohnson-n3n Yes, but we have modern vehicles that use diesel now, so we can drive. After Pokrovsk, there are almost literally zero Ukrainian strongholds which exist in the thousands in the Donbass area. Russian capture of Pokrovsk means Russia has broken through all of Ukraine's defensive lines and strongholds in that area. Basically only open country after Pokrovsk towards Dnipropetrovsk, and then Kiev.

Alexander, could you talk about all the “state of the art” Western technology that has been laid to waste in Kursk? It has always been a Western fairytale that nobody on earth could match our technological know how. This myth is well and truly dead for good.
Exactly
Technology is not magic, it is just part of a whole system from training to how to use the gear tactically and operationally, and each machine is optimized for a particular role in a scenario which the builder is betting will actually happen. But what if another scenario occurs?
A "Challenger II" or a HIMARS vehicle that drive around alone and are spotted are dead.
For details, I can refer the esteemed listener to "smoothieX12" (who is strong for Russia and the Soviet Union to a degree that some affirmations need to be regarded with some scepticism, but okay)
Yes of course it is. That is why Ukraine will control 2000 Square miles of Russian territory very soon.😊

@@SterileNeutrino The puke proxy forces have been given ample stocks of the 'game changers' and extensive training on their use by the best instructors NATO can offer, yet every single one has fallen well short of expectations.
Thankyou Alexander always greatful for your account on all world situations.
the US involvement in organising an invasion of Russia isn't something Russians should forgive. I hope the Russians never forget this and they help in kinetic actions against US targets in future conflicts
America is strong the policy of one administration does not mean Americans agree with it but don’t try our boys we will win this administration is in the way out the door through voting just like a democracy is supposed to do most Americans did not want this but joe and his advisors thought it would be a good idea to get into a fight with the Russians bringing the world closer than ever before to total destruction
Ukraine has invaded Russia .There is nothing the Russian military can do about it.A million Russian men have died or injured in this 10 year war.
Russia need to surrender.
Russia has got no where.
US and Russia are at war. Disgusting war fought at UN, financial institutions and military proxys.
Ukraine is only the beginning.
Russian goals
1. NATO collapse
2. EU break up.
3. BRICKS to break US economic hegemoni.
If Putin succeed.
Putin will go down in history as 'The Great'
And US empire will be a chapter in history books.
No, the US is fighting for its life. Direct war with Russia are not a good tactic for survival .Try breaking it are a option. But no. The Slavic's in Russia and different tribes and ethnic groups have a tendency to gather and stand strong as a unity in time of crisis,.
You are weak. You cannot do shit. Not even your nuclears work...
Where do you live? In your dad’s basement in Oregon?
The vast majority of humanity lives in an economically highly globalized and connected world. If any major local conflict were to happen, it would have a profound impact not only on multinational companies and their profits, but on the economies of almost all countries. For example, if Iran and the USA went to war, it would lead to the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, and the price of oil would skyrocket. The wars that are being waged, like this one in Afghanistan, are of a local character and completely irrelevant. The same as the civil wars in Yemen, Syria, Sonalia, Libya. Essentially irrelevant conflicts of various ethnic and religious factions, as in the Middle Ages. Once upon a time, Indochina was synonymous with wars and suffering, but today it is a country with unprecedented economic development and progress. The Chinese used to have nothing to eat and their main occupation was waving red booklets and Mao Zedong. Today, they have one of the most developed high-speed rail systems in the world. And they produce absolutely everything from pins to locomotives. This also applies to Russia, which now has a higher quality of life than during the USSR, and a longer life expectancy.
“this one in Afghanistan” ? “irrelevant”? I am afraid you are a neocolonial mutant off your rocker. Libya is so irrelevant NATO tried to destroy it but, hwy it still has all,that gas and oil, rare earths and helps the US destroy the EU via boaties to Italy and Greece.
Indochina is not a nation but a region. And than Russia used to have a higher life expectancy, however in 2021 it dipped below the level the USSR had in 1987. Now more recent data if it was available might show a return to previous levels as with Covid every nation toke a big hit to their life expectancy. And while Russia does have a higher quality of life than the USSR, it does still lag behind most other former Warsaw pact nations, even more so when remove the cities of St.Petersburg and Moscow which are more trophy cities than any other city in Russia.
Over 2000 POW's in less then a week, a lot of them ridiculously young men...
Not as ridiculous as the claim
The military tactics used in the raid on Kursk seem to be typically Nato tactics. Small groups entered the russian territory and gained ground fast because there were almost no defence from Russia and few, a mostly rural population, lived there. The problem now for Ukraine may be that the lines are not closed because there is no big army to secure broader pieces of land and mostly all is fields with few roads is just to be on a platform with no place to hide for Ukrain, certainly it cannot be said that so much square miles are won while in reality there are big holes in the occupated land.
Than if these lines are so thinly held is it taking Russia over a week to even start containing the Ukrainian attack? Why is it that Russia seems to be struggling to contain these "small units" if they advance like this?
A few miscreants hopped a fence into Russia and they call it an "offensive".

"We are suffering heavy losses. The brigade is destroyed."
While all attention is focused on the Kursk adventure, the militants are not getting any better in other areas. In the 47th Brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, for example, the situation is worse than ever.
Militant 47 says: the recruits don’t know how and don’t want to fight, the defence is “leaky,” the Russian Armed Forces are destroying the militants, and they can’t respond.
"We are being replenished with people who cannot and do not want to fight. ... Enemy FPVs destroy equipment 20 km from the line of contact, our electronic warfare systems do not help... The officers are helpless and stupid..."
The militant notes separately: Ukraine is losing, and the Kiev regime is only contributing to this.
"People are ready for negotiations... The division of power and the lining of the pockets of officials and the military are still going on. Nothing is changing."
This cry from the heart well characterizes the state of affairs in the Armed Forces of Ukraine as a whole. The "fuse" that fueled the militants in 2022-2023 has long since died out, and even the Kursk adventure has not ignited it.
The Ukrainian Armed Forces continue to slowly collapse due to losses, the greed of officials and the unwillingness of people to fight.
MILITARY TUBE TODAY - Most of the Ukrainian soldiers who did not want to take part in the desperate farce, laid down their weapons and ran to the side of the Russian troops, where two another soldiers Sergey Bochenko and Mikhail Shkoda, will tell a long story about the Kursk scandal at the end of the long video, reported by the Russian Defense Ministry. The scene that came on August 15, 2024, showing the mass surrender of Ukrainian soldiers and even women, was a big mess for Kiev in every sense. This group of twelve people, came to the positions of Russian troops on the border, they did not want to maintain Zelensky's plan with Western partners, in the early days of their invasion of Russian soil there's not even light at the end! - Military Tube Today
"This group of twelve people, came to the positions of Russian troops on the border" Wow, Boy oh boy, 12 people that is what Alex M. would call a "Mass surrender" by the Ukrainians, of course we just had a real "Mass surrender" of 103 Russians in arms in Kursk region on Wednesday , but , of course Alex M. will not mention that because its a Ukrainian success..

UK TRAINED UKRAINIANS TO ATTACK RUSSIA'S KURSK: British instructors in England taught Ukrainian troops, part of incursion into pre-war Kursk , to conduct “raids on high-rise buildings” just before Kiev sent them to attempt to invade Russia,
A month before they were dispatched into Kursk, some of the unit were sent to England where they underwent a few days of training alongside British soldiers - pictured article reveals extent of West's participation in Ukraine conflict.
Results of British training can be seen in right pic as Ukrainian soldiers now join their brothers from Nazi Germany in fertilizing Russian soil. - Intel Republic
No they taught the Ukrainians to protect themselves from an illegal invasion.

Congratulations, Alexander, for your excellent, highly informative analysis
Yesterday Kadirov's troops, the akhmat warriors, captured some Ukrainian soldiers, and interviewed them, they were terrified, but not by the akhmat men, but by their own comrades. They said they took them from the agricultural fields, and in a week of training they brought them to the front, unable to shoot people, they said they were threatened to advance. However they said there were 4000 men in total, during the attack. Now I wonder, if the Russians killed 1600, how can the rest control a square kilometer of sector. And these akhmat men were in the town of Suzha, the one that Zelensky says is controlled by them
Laz
😂 tells us another jackanory
"Now I wonder, if the Russians killed 1600, how can the rest control a square kilometer of sector. " Very simple its not 4000 its probably up to 10,000 to 15,000 UA troops highly dispersed in Kursk region and the Russians likely did not kill 1600 UA forces. That's Russian MoD figures which rarely make any sense whatsoever...

The name Pokrovsk: Originally the town was founded by the railroad company (note the assault coming via the rail line) as Grishino. In the Soviet period this eventually became Krasnoarmeysk (Red Army Town). In 2016, the Ukrainian Rada passed a law changing many town names in a process of de-communistification, including this one to Pokrovsk (Protection Town, after a disappeared church, The Church of the Protection of the Most Holy Mother of God). Who knows what's next?

Excellent journalism and analysis
Last roll of the dice
AFU were keeping people hostage in Mariupol and other former Ukrainian cities, they've been torturing and killing civilians of Donbass for years, of Belgorod and Kursk regions for months. Alexander is definitely aware of this, he doesn't speak of it often but has mentioned a few times. I don't understand why he finds it hard to believe that Ukrainians would take this opportunity to harass and take hostage Russian civilians in the Kursk region.
One of the early uses of the extra range of the HIMARS systems the West gave to Ukraine was to shell the center of Donetsk City, something that had no military purpose but to kill civilians.
This is mainly BS. The Donbas rebels and Russians from the very first in 2014 put innocent Ukrainian civilians in basement prisons in the LPR/DPR puppet regimes where they were tortured and held for ransom... often by local gangsters since any law and order in the DPR/LPR was initially non-existent...
drivel...
