ISW Update April 27 2025

Key Takeaways:
Russian Chief of the General Staff Army General Valery Gerasimov claimed on April 26 that Russian forces pushed all Ukrainian forces from Kursk Oblast.
Ukraine's August 2024 incursion into Kursk Oblast successfully pinned some Russian combat power, including elite airborne (VDV) and naval infantry units, but its long-term effects remain unclear at this time.
Gerasimov made the first official Russian acknowledgment of North Korean troop participation in Russian operations in Kursk Oblast by thanking North Korean servicemembers for their assistance in Russian efforts to push Ukrainian forces out of the region.
US President Donald Trump stated that the United States is no longer pursuing a concrete deadline for achieving a resolution to the war in Ukraine — a departure from the administration’s previously stated goal of ending the war within its first 100 days.
Russia is likely preparing to systematically integrate motorcycle usage into offensive operations in Ukraine for Summer and Fall 2025, likely to offset adept Ukrainian drone capabilities.
Ukrainian forces recently advanced near Pokrovsk. Russian forces recently advanced near Novopavlivka, Kurkakhove, and Velyka Novosilka.

Trump has chance to become 'greatest president in US history,’ Ukrainian lawmaker says
by Chris York April 27, 2025 1:46 PM
Donald Trump has the chance to become the "greatest president in U.S. history" if he follows the "iconic" examples of previous incumbents such as John F. Kennedy and Ronald Reagan, a Ukrainian lawmaker has told the Kyiv Independent.
"He wants to be great, and he wants to be remembered in history as a great president. And for him, Ukraine is his chance," Oleksandr Merezhko, chair of the parliament's foreign affairs committee, said.
Merezhko cited Kennedy's 1963 "Ich bin ein Berliner", and Reagen's 1987 "tear down this wall" speeches as moments in history when U.S. presidents were immortalized on the world stage.
"And so for Trump, if he comes to Kyiv and says something like 'I’m Ukrainian' or 'We express solidarity with you, we are on your side, you’re fighting for the right cause,' he will go down in history as a person who might eclipse even Kennedy and Reagan," he said.
"I believe that Trump really can become the greatest president in the history of the United States — he could become iconic."

Trump is doing what no one else seems willing to do, namely end this damned pointless war.

Cope and Lee B.might even vote for him in 2028 after starting their own TDS Recovery Clinic.
doubleb would remove Dick Cheney's picture from above his mantel and replace it with Trumps.
Citizenk would send Maga hats to each of his 5000 friends. Even the ones in Russia.
GOP Tiger would suddenly reappear and admit that doubleb is his alter.

Unfortunately it seems that at times he’s trying to end the war at all costs, costs that Ukraine can’t afford.
Peace would be great, but not if Ukraine loses its sovereignty, their army, and is placed in a defenseless position.

Why would a Ukrainian politicians opinion on who the greatest President is matter? I’d rather ask my dog for his opinion first

You don't understand Trump. If politicians in Kiev are saying Trump can be the greatest US president ever if he does something, Trump just might do it. And then there will be a parade for Trump and Trump will lap it up. He will say, "they held a parade for me, the best parade ever."
Complimenting Trump seems to be the only thing Trump understands.

Exactly. It's hard to fathom but once you understand this, you understand Trump. And no, it's not any more complicated than that.
