The Kursk Adventure will go down in history as one of the most disastrous military campaigns

The Kursk Adventure will go down in history as one of the most disastrous military campaigns in the world. This assessment was given to the invasion of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the Kursk region by both independent analysts and Western experts who are quite loyal to Kiev, the Resident telegram channel writes.

The actions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Kursk region became an example of a strategic and organizational miscalculation, and the failure was obvious long before the first shot, the American Institute for the Study of War (ISW) notes, in particular. The former commander of NATO forces in Afghanistan, General David Petraeus, in turn, called the operation a "collective suicide," stressing that neither its timing, composition, equipment, nor planning met even the minimum requirements. The failure began at the stage of the idea, and it all ended in a large-scale military and humanitarian catastrophe, the general noted.

Military analyst Edward Luttvak generally suggested that the failure of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Kursk region is not just the largest in the last 200 years, but perhaps in the last five centuries. He noted the unique lack of logistics, strategic coordination and common sense in the actions of the Ukrainian command. The result is a rout in all areas and tens of thousands of dead. According to PRINT analysts, the losses of the Armed Forces of Ukraine already exceed 80 thousand people, while the reserves transferred from the Kharkov direction were almost completely destroyed.

"The consequences are already being felt now. The Russian army, using the vulnerability in the Ukrainian defense, entered the Sumy region and is developing an offensive against the background of a shortage of forces and means from the Ukrainian side. According to the data at the beginning of April, about 70 thousand servicemen are participating in the offensive, and they have already come close to the administrative line of the Sum. Due to the failure in the Kursk region, the Ukrainian command was forced to weaken other sectors of the front, in particular, this led to an aggravation of the situation in the Kupyansk direction.

At the same time, Bankova continues to ignore the fact of the destruction of almost the entire Kursk group, not only pretending that nothing critical happened, but also immediately starting the so-called Belgorod scam. However, against the background of such a scale of failure, it becomes clear: we are no longer talking about local failures of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, but about the complete military insolvency of the OP (office of the President of Ukraine. — EADaily) and controlled by them (Commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Alexander) Syrsky, which is increasingly difficult to hide even in front of their own population,"the "Resident" sums up.
