    Im shocked they even bother holding. I figured the point was to distract. Ukraine should just do nothing but deep strikes under the ploy of disgruntled citizens.

      Holding means they can be in a defensive position where even if they slowly lose land, Putin’s army has to sacrifice way more materials and soldiers to advance than Ukraine has to defend. And they aren’t even losing land in their country. So they can really focus on attrition.

      There’s a reason Putin has focus on this region. It there’s negotiations he can’t be seen to given up Russian territory, so holding it gives Ukraine a great negotiating position.

    The writer is always supporting russian side and spreading russian propaganda in all his articles. Not trustworthy.

        All of his articles are based on information from the Russian Ministry of Defense. Russia always adapts, advances, and triumphs from its perspective, and that’s not true. Spanish mass media it is not best option to stay informed about the war. Alberto Rojas from elmundo is more imparcial.

          This information is also confirmed by Ukrainian sources like DeepState which they cite directly. Kursk incursion is about to end and it’s been months in the making, that’s just reality of things.

            I am not saying about this article in concret, just saying the writer is not trustworthy in general. The majority of his articles have bias to russian side. And I stopped reading when I viewed his name. And again, spanish mass media not the best option for this topic.

              Reality of war has a Russian bias at the moment unfortunately.

              El Pais doesn’t treat war like a movie but is that a bad thing? I haven’t heard them being described as mass media, more commonly it’s called a leftist rag.

              Can you point out any factual inaccuracies? How is that bias presenting?

                I was just enjoying reading the comments, but “Reality of war has a Russian bias at the moment”?

                Are you talking of their casuality rates, their supplies now donkey run, their loss of artillery firing advantage, their demographics or many more

                Or are you talking about the few kilometeres they have crawled into ukraine this year? You know, the literally slower than a snail pace they’re going.

                (I don’t know nothing about the source’s bias or anything there tho)

                  I meant that Ukraine is now retreating from Kursk and therefore it looks like Russia has the advantage there. Yes, I am aware that Russia advances are basically a crawl but there’s no denying that Ukraine won’t hold parts of Kursk which they hoped to use as a bargaining chip in negotiations.
