THE Ukrainian offensive into Russian territory itself through Kursk, which began in August 2024, took many by surprise, including Russian officials, and led to the swift capture of key areas. The offensive was seen as a bold move by Kyiv to try to stretch Russian forces across multiple fronts to ease pressure on the Donbas region.
Experienced war strategists had warned that it was a foolish PR stunt, as Ukraine no longer had the factors allowing a surprise incursion to succeed, such as highly experienced manpower and extensive munitions. The EU and even the US support in financial terms is declining significantly as attention turns to Israel-Gaza and donor fatigue sets in.
In an interview with Russian TV channel RT, military analyst Stanislav Krapivnik, a former US Marine, argued that the US and the UK must feel the direct consequences of the conflict they espouse for true deterrence. 'The first strikes — high-frequency electromagnetic pulses — may fry electronics and power systems' in military and civilian infrastructure.A nuclear escalation would create fireballs as hot as the sun's surface and mushroom clouds of radioactive fallout.
