Zelensky's Kursk Offensive: A Deep Dive

In this episode we analyse a Ukrainian offensive near Kursk, examining conflicting narratives surrounding its success. A Ukranian military analyst casts doubt on Ukrainian claims of territorial gains, highlighting the high human cost for poorly equipped Ukrainian troops and suggesting the offensive may have weakened their positions elsewhere. The discussion also considers the offensive's potential political motivations, aiming to influence the incoming US administration under President Trump and maintain Western support. The commentators explore the role of propaganda on both sides, and the impact of potential war fatigue on public perception. Ultimately, the analysis raises questions about Zelenskyy's strategy and the uncertain future of the conflict.
