Putin's gift failed: what task the Russian army failed to complete before October 7 Melania Golembyovskaya

A Russian telegram channel wrote that the Russian military was unable to give Vladimir Putin a birthday present. However, the Russian dictator doesn't seem to pay attention to this, and is focused on something completely different.

The head of the Center for Public Analysis “Vezha” Valeriy Klochok told 24 Kanal that so far the Russians have not been able to give a sufficient rebuff to the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the Kursk region, and Putin is not going to transfer all his forces there, instead aiming to continue the offensive in the Donetsk region. Meanwhile, the Kursk operation has an important political solution for Ukraine.

What task the Russian army failed to accomplish by October 7

The head of the Center explained that the Kursk operation has important political significance for Ukraine's position in the West and a change in rhetoric in the Kremlin itself.

Meanwhile, according to Klochko, Putin will not transfer all Russian forces to the Kursk region. The Russian dictator has a goal of reaching the borders of Donetsk, and possibly Zaporozhye and Kherson regions.

It is important for Putin to achieve success in this direction in order to weaken Ukraine. Regarding the Kursk region, he argues that this issue will resolve itself sooner or later, – noted the head of the Center.

At the same time, in the Kursk region, the Russians are resisting, shelling the positions of the Ukrainian military from the air force, and showering them with guided aerial bombs. The occupiers are even shelling their own populated areas, which is the norm for an aggressor country.

Note! The representative of the OTG “Seversk” Vadim Misnik reported that Russia is transferring new forces to the Kursk direction. However, this is not enough to achieve the set goals.

Ukraine needs to exhaust the Russians in the Kursk region and transfer equipment of Western partners there. In this way, this will become a weighty argument for possible future negotiations with Russia.

By the way, Vladimir Zelensky said that the Kursk operation was an important stage of the war. It showed the world that Ukraine can push the war into Russia. In addition, the operation gave one of the largest contributions to the exchange fund for the release of Ukrainians from captivity.
