That is what they want you to believe. The actual plan is to take CrimeaNow that Ukraine has jumped the shark and invaded Russia without much of a hmph from the US or NATO, I would not be surprised to see a larger Ukrainian flanking movement coming out of the Kharkiv Oblast, toward Belgorod before smashing into occupied Luhansk Oblast to take the Russian trenches and minefields from the rear, while liberating Severodonetsk. All coordinated with a frontal Ukrainian attack from Kharkiv along with ATACMS, HIMARs and Storm Shadow strikes on command and control targets within both Russia and Luhansk.
It's about eight to ten hours driving time, if you're in an Abrams or Leopard 2. Here's the route I suggest.
And now Kursk itself is threatened. Putin may wonder if the ghost of the Kursker knights has cursed him.Putin's pride and distrust cost the lives of those sailors trapped in the submarine Kursk. I expect the public outcry from that incident has convinced Putin to strictly control what Russians are allowed to know about this "ten day" special military operation.
