“The Russians had information that the Ukrainians were concentrating forces on the border but they didn’t really take this information, this intelligence, very seriously.”

Ukraine carried a “well-planed and well-executed” operation crossing the Russian border into Kursk, which may have been aided by an “intelligence failure” within Russian military structures, says Dr Domitilla Sagramoso.

  • It's amazing how fast a army can advance when it's not looting toilets and washing machines.
  • Gee Russia... Maybe don't invade other countries and they won't have a reason to return the favor ?

    I have so much respect for Ukrainians. They are disciplined and co-operative among themselves and with others. Their inventiveness and adaptability in the face of the monstrosity unleashed in their country fills me with awe. And they have taught me that their culture is full of joy and hope, humour, music and friendship. They are just so good at everything.

    And all of this is with Surplus weapons and 50 year old systems. We haven't even started using the good stuff yet.

    It's tragic that Prigozhin didn't continue to Moscow. I'm sure as his jet plummeted out of the sky he was thinking that too.

  • Once again, Putin is visibly upset. He sorely misses the feeling of orange make up, sliding down his inner thighs.
