Kursk wasn’t just an immensely stupid military move on Ukraine’s part, it apparently was subjected to numerous Ukrainian war crimes. From Strategic Culture at strategic-culture.su:
When the Western powers take responsibility for the criminal aggression against Russia, only then will a viable peace be achieved.
The Kursk border region in Western Russia has finally been cleared of the NATO-backed Ukrainian invaders.
Last weekend, on April 26, the Chief of Russia’s General Staff, Valery Gerasimov, announced that all enemy combatants had been defeated and the territory was now under the control of Russian forces.
Thus ends the Kursk gamble that the NATO-backed Kiev regime had foolishly played. It was a hopeless roll of the dice in the proverbial Last Chance Saloon. The incursion was supposed to give the NATO side bargaining leverage to trade for Russian-gained territories in former Eastern Ukraine. There is no trade-off. It’s an outright defeat for the NATO strategists.
The losses in military personnel on the Ukrainian side have been estimated at over 76,000 men over the past eight months in fighting in the Kursk direction alone. (Total Ukrainian military losses amount to over one million in the more than three-year proxy war.) In Kursk, thousands of NATO’s best weaponry pieces were destroyed by withering Russian firepower. Russia was also assisted by thousands of North Korean troops as per a bilateral security pact signed last year between the far-east neighboring countries. The West tried desperately to make a controversy out of what is a legal and legitimate military alliance between Moscow and Pyongyang. If NATO can deploy mercenaries from all over the world, why can’t Russia avail itself of a legal military partner?
In any case, what has transpired is not merely a debacle from military defeat. The scorched-earth tactics of the NATO-sponsored Kiev regime are fully exposed for their appalling war crimes.
Russian investigators have documented hundreds of cases of war crimes. This is the same grotesque pattern found in the Donbass and other areas that have been liberated from Ukrainian occupiers and NATO mercenaries. The full horror in Kursk has yet to be assessed, given that it is the early stages of liberation from the occupiers. But already, there is extensive evidence and eyewitness testimonies from civilian survivors attesting to a campaign of terror and genocide.
