Military expert Niko Lange has pointed out that Ukraine is currently “paying a high price” in the Donbass region for their attack on the Kursk border. According to a report by Bild, Kiev had thinned out its best units in order to carry out the attack, and as a result, they are now unable to effectively resist the Russian Armed Forces.
The pressure from the Russian army near Pokrovsk has raised doubts about the strategy of the Ukrainian command, with failures in Donbass leading to unrest within the army and the country as a whole. Additionally, Western allies have not provided the level of support that Kyiv had hoped for, as they did not send additional aid and did not give permission for their weapons to strike Russian territory.
This situation highlights the complex and challenging dynamics at play in the ongoing conflict in Eastern Ukraine. The consequences of military decisions and actions can have far-reaching and severe implications, as Ukraine grapples with the consequences of their strategic choices.
It is a stark reminder of the high stakes involved in modern warfare, and the need for careful planning and decision-making in order to safeguard the interests and security of a nation. The situation in Ukraine serves as a cautionary tale of the unpredictable and volatile nature of conflict, and the importance of international support and solidarity in times of crisis.
