Allegedly unexpected Ukrainian incursion to Kursk region is a bright showcase of Putin’s helplessness in the face of real war waging on his territory. To back to the whole Russian history, their belief on the happy off chance now have played with them an evil game.
Ukrainian militaries intercepted the report of the Oleksandr Harkavenko, the head of the Russian administration of Goncharivka located near Sudzha now controlled by Ukrainian Armed Forces.
This record gives us an understanding of what is really happening on suggested canonic Russian territories. Especially among the management.
There are main passages of his oral report:
▫️ it was known for the Russian military two weeks before that there would be a Ukrainian offensive, but they did not want to prepare for it, the local residents also felt the upcoming incursion;
▫️ the Russian local authority intentionally lied to the habitants that the situation was under control, but in fact abandoned people apparently relying on the famous happy off chance;
▫️ Russian soldiers did not even try to cover their war crimes committing in the face of locals. Particularly, placing anti-aircraft guns in the middle of a residential building and firing from MRLS Grad, putting on the deadly risk of habitants to be fired back from Ukrainian Armed Forces.;
▫️ the tempo of the offensive was so high that the local administration had not have enough of time for relocation – as soon as they moved to a new village, it was immediately under the control of Ukrainians;
▫️ the Russian military was not provided with ammunition, the communication between military commanders and civilian bureaucrats did not work;
▫️ Ukrainian intelligence knew everything that was happening behind the scenes of local authorities. Garkavenko believes that the reason for the awareness of Ukrainians is not “treason”, but “corruption”.
To resume this record, it is obvious that Ukrainian incursion in Kursk region openly demonstrates the helplessness of so-called Putin’s mighty in Russia.
The Russian authority and military are not able to take appropriate and timely decision, relying on off chance and belief in unlimited Kremlin power.
This time they failed happy chance. How it would be the next?
