- 2024-08-10 | The Battle of Kursk hastens the downfall of Putin's murderous regime. In a historical irony the name 'Kursk' bookends failure at the start of his time in office, and may signal it's end in catastrophic failure. Is Kursk Putin's avenging nemesis?

Kursk - a gamble for victory
“A surprise attack, conceived with cunning, prepared with duplicity and executed with ruthlessness, provides international history with its most melodramatic moments.” So explains Sir Lawrence Freedman in his superlative books ‘Command’ and ‘Strategy’. And Ukraine has demonstrated its command of surprise and the potential battlefield impact through its lightning advance through Russia’s Kursk oblast.
The power of shock in warfare is to overwhelm an adversary when they are at their weakest or when they least expect it. The irony here, is that Russian hubris, and its culture of systemic lying throughout the military and political hierarchy mean they are less likely to imagine the unexpected and prepare for it. Add to this the fact Russia does not see Ukraine as sovereign, and constantly denies its agency, which means they underestimate the Ukrainian capacity for innovation and surprise time and again, to their detriment. This time assumptive and arrogant thinking may lead to total defeat.
‘Between countries at war, there is no border, there is only the front,’ states the Ukrainian military researcher Mykola Bielieskov. Russians have forgotten that, but the Ukrainians did not. The incursions into Kursk and now Belgorod, have achieved stunning initial success and are looking more and more like a full offensive. This shows what Ukrainians can achieve if they have both the tools and lack of restrictions in how they fight Russia.
