Would it be better if both Russia and Ukraine joined the EU and made Europe stronger and united? Why is Russia against joining the EU while the likes of Turkey wished to?
That's not how this world works.
The new offensive near Kursk is nonsense, at that time Kurakhovo was lost.
From beginning I still don't know what's the point of whole this operation in Kursk. When at the same situation is very difficult in Donbas oblast, Russians is getting very close to Pokrovsk and also soon can reach Dnipropetrovsk oblast.
