Ukraine has humiliated Putin a week before Trump's inauguration - The Telegraph
He forgot or, more likely, does not know about the principles of war, especially the one that provides for the need to consolidate success, not failure. About it writes The Telegraph. The rates are rising on both sides of the conflict. Putin was humiliated in Syria and Moscow - the murder of a key general Kirillov.
Putin stated that by Christmas he would return to himself the sacred land of Russia in the Kursk region, spectacularly taken by Ukrainian troops last summer; But it looks like another psychological blow to his dictatorship. The Kursk region may well be the beginning for Putin in 2025, as it was for Hitler in 1943, says the author of Hamish de Bretton-Gordon.
"It seems that Ukrainian troops have caused Russian troops in Kursk a real blow in the last few days, and it is possible that the Russian 801st Marine infantry brigade was injured so much that she will now have to retreat from Kursk. Hundreds of North Koreans sent to strengthen the brigade, "the publication reads. The Russian front in the Kursk region looks very shaky, and Ukraine, instead of just holding on, can succeed.
In despair, Putin sends one of his most trusted generals to the region to try to save the situation, the author notes. "There seems to be many cost generals in Russia, but there is no military equipment to prevent the latest Ukrainian offensive, which gives Kiev great hope.
Putin may well go into a regime of survival after events in Syria, elimination of his right hand - General Kirilov - and the decision of Ukraine Close the last gas transit to Europe through its territory, " - such arguments are given in the article. It is reported that the Kremlin leadership is aware that US President Donald Trump is unlikely to provide any service on January 20.
According to the moods from the Trump camp, Putin will have to accept an agreement that is probably beneficial to Ukraine, or be prepared for Trump completely supporting Zelensky. It will be reported that the recent "chat with the country" ("straight line with Vladimir Putin") can be concluded that he is under real pressure, and "the tyrant Assad has just fallen from his seat and squeezed under the phalds of Putin's coat.
