After eight months of resisting inside Russian territory, the Ukrainian pocket in the Kursk region is almost completely overrun, and what was once a great pride to Kiev is now described as its ‘most costly mistake.’

I'm not saying it's 100% true, but what are NATO officers doing in RUSSIA?

The point is NATO is running a MILITARY invasion into Russia. They are military and inside Russia. They maybe advising only, but let's be honest. It's all the same.

I have to believe this isn’t true. But if NATO personnel were operating with the Ukes inside Russia then it is time to just disband the organization.

But Ukraine says they're not surrounded, in fact they are doing well against the Russians.

You know, many times, those forces are detailed out to agencies and we have some agencies that have absolutely no problems leaving those forces hanging out to dry...

Anyone with a brain could see that Kursk was about to be seriously under pressure due to the peace talks and it being Ukraines only bargaining chip.

So if there, they were dumb not to get out 3 weeks ago.

Could possibly be some retired, mercenary or private contractor types

So they can get killed by Russian forces and continue a hot war.

Which likely means US Special Forces are in that number. I sure hope that’s not the case.

Do we know they are NATO officers? Which NATO countries are involved?

I think most people understood that Ukrainian forces were not capable of that penetration into Russia on their own. The NATO involvement probably explains Trump's message on social media, asking Putin to spare these lives.

Puts Trump in a tight spot but could be used to help end this thing.

Doubt it. Maybe if Biden was still in office, but very hard to believe that Trump would have any US military personnel on the ground near the front lines, let alone actually inside Russian territory.

Unlike Biden, Trump is actually trying to end that war. Having US troops operating inside Russian territory would be viewed by Putin as a massive escalation.

Doubt we have uniformed SF guys there obviously, but wouldn’t rule out a certain alphabet agency/or affiliate.
