This is the first official statement of the Ukrainian government regarding the offensive in Kursk Oblast in Russia.
they should offer to trade the ruskies kursk oblast for the crimean peninsula
Found my mood kin.
Per childhood fairy tale monster Lavrov, it is time to acknowledge facts on the ground. The enemy must accept these realities.
Is my math wrong? Didn’t that guy reporting to Putin say 20km deep and 14km wide? At best, that’s 280 square kilometers. And Ukraine is stating it’s nearly 5x as much. Someone help me here.
Guy reporting to Putin and Ukrainian chiefs have quite opposite interests to give estimations and I don’t know how accurately you can draw lines on the maps, so I’d guess that the russian guy underestimates the area by a lot in a hope that his window doesn’t suddenly break with his body and Ukraine likes to give a round number, even if reality is 830km² or whatever (I don’t believe that they’d publicly lie about the area to be 3 times bigger than actual, but 20% on those cirumstances is pretty much just a rounding error).
Good, they only need to occupy around 160,000 km2 more, then they can trade evenly.
