The Armed Forces will stop the offensive on Pokrovsk: what mistakes Putin made in the defense of Kursk region

This was reported by a military analyst, director of New Geopolitics Research Network Mikhail Samus in an interview with "Observer". "In fact, Russia is facing a strategic dilemma: either to stop the offensive in the East of Ukraine, to gather sufficient forces and to try to knock out Ukrainian troops from the Kursk region, or to make the wrong decision that Putin, in principle, has already made," said Mikhail Samus.

He noted that it was an effort to continue the offensive in Ukraine and try to solve the "Kursk region" problem "that can be collected outside the main directions of the offensive. The curator of the so -called counter -terrorist operation in the Kursk region was appointed the closest associate of Putin Alexei Dumin.

As a result, two decision -making centers will appear - the head of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation Valery Gerasimov will be engaged in Donbass, and Dumin and Commander of Rosgvardia Viktor Zolotov - Kurshchyna. "As a result, there will be a contradiction between these centers and it is possible to conflict, because both Dumin and Golden need to prove their success. But what to prove? There is no forces.

Trying to knock out Ukrainian troops? At the same time, Gerasimov was set to occupy all Donbas by the end of this year, "the expert explained. According to him, both directions will not be successful, so there will be a controversion between two decision -making centers. As a result, the offensive on the Pokrovsky direction will be stopped. During this time, Dumin and Zolotov will take away everything you can from other areas of the front.

It is about the south, Kharkiv region, it will lead to the counter -offensive of the Armed Forces. "And then, after a while, for example, in the short term, Russia will be faced with a huge problem due to the fact that the Ukrainian command will make several more decisions - I will not talk about them now - which will exacerbate this strategic dilemma" , - he emphasized.

We will remind, on August 13, US President Joe Biden said that the operation in the Kursk region became a dilemma for Russian leader Vladimir Putin. He stressed that his administration is in constant contact with the Ukrainian side. On August 14, the media said that Ukraine looked at several options for an offensive on the Russian Federation in order to shock Russian President Vladimir Putin. In particular, the possibility of a cross -border attack was considered for a certain time.
