Update on the conflict in Ukraine for August 11, 2024… - Ukraine’s “offensive” into Kursk, Russia was another example of Kiev’s costly public relations campaigns, this time designed to prove Ukraine can “bring the war to Russian soil;” - In reality, Ukraine expended manpower and equipment it does not have to spare, as well as stretching its already struggling logistical network; - Additional attempts by Ukraine to appear strong as its strategically collapses include alleged special military operations in Africa aimed at undermining Russian security cooperation in the region; - Ukraine’s suggested involvement in military operations in Mali resulting in the death of government troops has resulted in the severing of relations between Mali and Niger with Ukraine; - “Ukrainian” operations worldwide provide cover for what are likely Western activities conducted by proxy against Russia just as it does against Chinese interests around the globe and is doing in Ukraine against Russia, which itself is a proxy war; For Daily Updates on Ukraine: The Duran (Telegram): https://t.me/thedurancom + YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheDuran/videos Scott of Kalibrated (Telegram): https://t.me/kalibrated + YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Kalibratedwithscott/videos Mark Sleboda (Telegram): https://t.me/TheRealPolitick + Substack: https://marksleboda.substack.com/ References: US Department of Defense - Biden Administration Announces Additional Security Assistance for Ukraine (August 9, 2024): https://www.defense.gov/News/Releases/Release/Article/3868082/biden-administration-announces-additional-security-assistance-for-ukraine/ CNN - Russia says Ukrainian troops crossed into its territory and launched ‘massive attack’ (August 7, 2024): https://edition.cnn.com/2024/08/07/europe/russia-ukrainian-troops-cross-border-intl/index.html Kyiv Indepdent - Ukraine's unprecedented attack on Kursk Oblast brings war back to Russian soil (August 8, 2024): https://kyivindependent.com/ukraine-brings-war-back-to-russian-soil-with-unprecedented-attack-on-kursk-oblast/ Foreign Affairs - Can Ukraine Get Back on the Offensive?

Brian, about the only good part of this war is that nearly every Global South government is well aware that: 1. NATO (USA) relentlessly provoked the war since 2014. 2. Zelinsky got suckered into fighting the war for NATO. 3. Ukrainian men are the cannon fodder every proxy war requires. 4. Zelinsky and crew have maintained control of Ukraine only because of martial law. 5. NATO wants the war to continue with no regard to the effect on the people of Ukraine. 6. Zelinsky and crew will have to flee Ukraine at wars end, or they become dead men walking in Ukraine. This war is a Western governments instigated tragedy. It will not end well for the West, especially Germany.

very few people will even acknowledge the rand paper. The fact that the US and west pushed Russia into this and used Ukraine as a proxy against Russia to prevent them from joining China when the US finally takes China. Ukraine is done as a nation. Their infrastructure damaged to the tune of billions of dollars, a whole generation of Ukraine men are either dead or crippled and large parts of Ukraine's fertile farmland were sold of the Blackrock and bargain basement prices. And in the west people treat this like a sports contest and they are rooting for their favorite team. Ukraine never had any hope of winning this. We are watching the destruction of a nation, Ukraine, happen in real time.

Donetsk republic battalion commander, Alexander Khodakovsky: "The enemy’s actions in Kursk fit well into the logic of this phase of the war: when he's knocked down, he needs to quickly raise hands & show that he's combat-ready. The day before I wrote that in one form or another we will see attempts to seize the initiative. Nevertheless, this is agony. The enemy made a big mistake. From a military point of view, the direction was optimal: in areas of constant battles, the front is cemented & it's difficult to break through. But this also works against the enemy: without being able to gain a foothold & create a layered defense, it will be impossible to maintain a bridgehead. Then what is the effect of this “action”? What have you achieved? Shown that Russia is vulnerable? To push into a specific area not involved in hostilities while losing manpower & equipment is not a miracle & doesn't speak of your potential. The real potential has long been calculated & taken into account. Will this raise the morale of those units that are suffering from our pressure? I very much doubt it... But it forced Russian society to look at the situation differently, it strengthened the just desire to break the enemy & put an end to the threat."

It's a genius masterclass by Russia, by allowing Ukraine to go ahead with the Kursk incursion, exposing its best troops and much needed military vehicles and tanks for destruction away from the Eastern areas. The more choke points are opened up, the more difficult things become for Ukraine.

A short while ago, there was an obsequious-looking Ukrainian UN diplomat who said Ukraine was ready to defend Taiwan and all US interests anywhere globally…
