As if set off by the chain of recent diplomatic failures, Ukraine’s Kursk front has initiated a rapid unscheduled disassembly, or in other words, a catastrophic collapse.
It can’t be overstated what an utter disaster this is for Ukraine. It’s almost certain that Russia will open a new front in the Sumy region now where there aren’t any serious defenses to fall back to. The AFU will be forced to try and stop that because of the proximity to Kiev, but that means pulling more troops from their collapsing front in the south. This could potentially be the catalyst for a general collapse of the front.
Just like all of Europe scrambled to organize the Minsk agreements after the disasters at Ilovaisk and Debaltsevo, now the US is begging the Russians to agree to a ceasefire. That is how you know Ukraine is in real trouble…

My thoughts exactly, except this time Russia isn’t going to fall for it.
