All right, Alexander, let's talk about what is going on in Kursk.

We have another offensive, a counter, a counter to the counter to the counter offensive in Kursk.

What is this Kersk? Part 2.

Why? That's the million dollar question.

Why are they launching an offensive in curse, which from what I understand has already crumbled? I don't even know if you can call it an offensive. At least these are the reports that we're getting from the Russian Ministry of Defense. And I believe these reports, Alexander, because I read

It's putting enormous pressure on Zelensky to lower the mobilization age, which

he looks likely that he's now going to do. It's putting him under an enormous amount of pressure.

keep the war going, beyond its own natural life, it needs to show that Ukraine is still fighting, is still able to push back, is able to conduct attacks here, there and somewhere.

So we have a number of local counterattacks, specifically one very local counter-attack around a village
