The rhetoric in Europe and Moscow has changed: as the operation of the Armed Forces in the Kursk region changed everything - The Telegraph

And also the operation changed the debate in Moscow. After all, the Kremlin can no longer stand for freezing of the front line as a fee for joining re -negotiations, until the Armed Forces are in the territory of Kursk region. About it wrote about it in his column for The Telegraph. "The best protection is a good attack" is a cliché, and this is agreed with such different theorists as Sun Tzi, Niccolo Machiavelli and George Washington.

If you judge a wonderful invasion of Russia, started by Kiev last week and lasting twelfth day, it is a saying that the event has finally mastered, " - jokes Dnlyley at the beginning of his author's material. He reminds that for six months the allies of Kiev were delayed while Ukraine She lost the strategic advantage she had at the beginning of the war, and the western capitals reduced the number of weapons received by Kiev.

On the new offensive, a few miles from the border of Ukraine, and the generals of the President of Ukraine Vladimir Zelensky could not attack them slowly Last week, the Allies silently approved the operation in Russia, which resulted in 1000 square kilometers now captured by the Armed Forces.

"We know that it was because there was no anxiety when Kiev sent tanks - including British Challenger 2 - on the hill fields of Kursk region, the place of the greatest tank battle in history during World War II. Estonian prime minister -Minister Kristen Michal went so far that she personally wished Ukrainian soldiers good luck, "Dnnley notes.

Now, as we know, the official Kremlin is forced to withdraw thousands of soldiers from the front in the territory of Ukraine, where - after the bloodiest battles that Europe saw in 80 years - he sacrificed tens of thousands week. The journalist suggests that the Kremlin hoped that continuing to press in the Donbass, his troops would be able to make a decisive breakthrough. But with the withdrawal of troops and defense weapons it will be difficult if not impossible.

Even more important, and undervalued by many commentators, is the fact that it will interfere with Russia in the rest of the conflict, says Dranley. In order to prevent future shameful invasion, Vladimir Putin will be forced to transfer people and equipment to other areas of Russia's border with Ukraine as a protective measure, again thinning the resources he has on the front. Politically, both within Russia and beyond, surgery also has far -reaching consequences.

"Conversations of ceasefire and negotiations stopped by changing conversations about new permits for the supply of weapons and supply. Today it was stated that negotiations with Joe Biden administration about giving Ukraine a large range of winged missiles are" advanced stage ", - the journalist said. What is most important, the operation in the Kursk region has changed the debate in Moscow. A few tens of kilometers, Putin will not be able to call for the war in the current state.

Deep anxiety is the fact that many of the killed or captured in the Kursk Russian soldiers are conscripts, constituencies who were told that they would never have to fight in Ukraine. Instead, the war came to them, risking civil riots. "Putin called his full -scale invasion of Ukraine" special military operation ". This is not the case. It is certainly an invasion of Ukraine. Wind wind, supported - finally - his western colleagues, " - sums up the journalist.
