Reportedly at Lgov UKR helos flying in formation.
Lgov is a town located on the E38 between Rylsk and Kursk.
This would be a major LOC cut, and you would only do this if you planned after landed air assault forces to secure ahead of drive with stronger ground forces to hold the area.
and that is 20 mi NE of Korenevo where there was supposedly still fighting,

Other reports of UKR roaming almost at will behind Russian lines. No clear comms between FSB, Rosguard and Chechens in the area. Lots division still which brings lots of confusion among Russian "forces"

I don't think that video is legit; it almost looks like video game footage. Also, would they be flying that slow that high? In all of the videos of helicopters that have emerged during this war, they are flying fast and nape of the earth.

Remember how Wagner operated inside of Russia almost at will? Well on the surface it appears that Ukraine is doing the same thing.
Now we know how Wagner was stopped, but I don’t think the Ukes will be as nice as Wagner was.
The Ukes need to be smart though. They need to impact Russian infrastructure and logistics as much as they can and not get trapped.

Early reports were that there were about 1,000 Ukrainians in the raid, but it turns out that it is more like 15,000. Big surprise for Putin's minions.
This might shed light on some of the reason Putin was rather slow to respond to this "raid."
I have read that it actually started with 2000 the first day, and many more were flooded in after the initial success of breaking the lines.
If the first day had failed, it would have been a failure with 2,000 troops.

I think Ukraine took Korenevo today. There have been several pro-Ukrainian posts saying that they have great news from the Kursk region but can't share it yet.
There's no proof yet, of course. I'm just spreading a rumor, but I think it happened.

It looks like it might be more sustainable than I thought initially.
I'd agree
Notwithstanding what is likely to be a rough outcome in the end.

The Biden administration is “open” to sending long-range cruise missiles to Ukraine, a move that would give Kyiv’s F-16s greater combat punch as it seeks to gain further momentum in its fight against Russia. The White House’s willingness to give Ukraine the Joint Air-to-Surface Standoff Missile comes as Kyiv’s surprisingly successful ground assault deep inside Russia heads into its second week, embarrassing Vladimir Putin and forcing him to redirect troops from the battlefield in Ukraine.
1. Ok so that means they will be available to use this time next year. The Biden administration always drags its feet.
2. The Biden-Harris administration won’t actually let Ukraine use them against Russia.

How do you see this ending? And when?

Maybe not, but remember that Crimea is not Russia. I really think that once Ukraine gets enough f-16s, if they're properly equipped, then Crimea is gettable for Ukraine.

There's a really clear video of one getting smoked in Sumy yesterday. What if it was a cgi video of you kissing Ru Paul
..would that be real?

If Harris wins, I'd give 80% odds the thing doesn't end while she's in office, with 5% odds the world enters mutually assured destruction.
If Trump wins, my guess is the war concludes quickly in negotiated settlement within a month of his inauguration if not before.
The settlement?
As long as Ukraine holds up for the next few months, I'd expect the settlement to roughly resemble the April 2022 drafts.

My prediction is that Trump will offer Putin a carrot or a very big stick. I don't think Putin will go for the carrot.

Why would you want to kiss that shitlib?
It might be catching.
