Zelenskys chief of staff stated that the purpose of the invasion of Kursk was to allow Ukraine to negotiate with Russia on its own terms.

Why so many negative responses?

@LukeAlmighty @Terry Unsound military strategy. If the Ukrainian army defends in Ukraine it will have a defender's advantage. If it goes on an offensive in Russia (and there is nothing significant to capture) it will have an attackers disadvantage.
@LukeAlmighty @Terry They have to wage the war on the defensive until they gain the upper hand in the force exchange ratio, otherwise they only increase their disadvantage. Go back to reddit, you're too dumb for fedi.
@dubbub @LukeAlmighty I think he's forgetting that Russia has only committed a fraction of its armed forces to the war and by invading Russia proper like this you're just kicking over a hornets nest.
@Terry @LukeAlmighty @dubbub It gives Russia the internal justification to call up their standing army, and not just Wagner as a "special operation." I sure hope it was worth the headlines, what absolute suicide otherwise.
@0 @LukeAlmighty @dubbub former Wagner soldiers are already fighting in Kursk. They've been incorporated into the army and classified as SF.
@Terry @LukeAlmighty @dubbub I mean that their pool of troops went from like 900k to like 3m, instantly, and that's before reactive conscription.
