Afrasianet - Shadi Abd El , Salam - U.S. intelligence is infiltrated inside Ukraine and on the front lines with Russia, and at a minimum it was aware of the Ukrainian attack on Kursk before it happened, not as Washington claims it was unaware of.
The West's collective proxy war on the Federal Russia by the neo-Nazis ruling in Ukraine witnessed a dangerous and sudden development when Ukrainian forces launched a surprise and lightning attack on the Kursk province in the southeast of Russia, and managed to cross the border and advance deep into Russian territory, taking advantage of the preoccupation of Russian forces with stationing and combat readiness along the area extending from Belgorod to the Donbass, where Russia was hedging against a Ukrainian attack in that area.
Apparently, Ukraine, which failed in its previous counteroffensive and suffered a major setback along the front lines from Kharkov in the northeast, through the Donbass, to the southern front line in Zaporizhia, learned from its past mistakes, especially with regard to the secrecy, speed and advance logistical and intelligence preparation of the movement.
To be sure, all of this would not have happened without the unequivocal support and coordination of the United States, which can be described as the direct decision-maker on everything that Kiev and its neo-Nazi leaders do.
In the details, the Ukrainian offensive began when Ukrainian forces estimated at 1,000 military personnel supported by armored vehicles and drones across the border penetrated into Russian territory in the Sudja region, which belongs to the Kursk region, located in the southwest of Russia and opposite the Sumy region, and managed to penetrate up to 10 km, and took control of 11 villages. At least 10 people were killed as a result of the Ukrainian incursion, while Russian sources confirmed that the number of Ukrainian forces that participated in the attack Exceeded 12000.
It was clear that Moscow was surprised by the Ukrainian attack in that area, where some regular battalions were deployed alongside the Akhmat forces of the Chechen leader "Kadyrov", before Moscow announced the cessation of the incursion of Ukrainian forces and the introduction of reinforcements from the reserve forces and the National Guard, and the entry of Russian weather weapons, as well as missiles, into the battle to bomb and destroy Ukrainian forces and vehicles penetrating into Russian territory, as well as their rear lines in the Sumy province in the Ukrainian interior. According to Russian Defense Ministry data, the death toll The attacking Ukrainian forces have reached nearly 3,000 since the offensive began.
Kursk province in the southwest of Russia, 500 km from Moscow, is of particular interest because it contains the headquarters of Russian forces participating in the special military operation in Ukraine. Kursk contains a nuclear power plant, about 70 km from the border with Ukraine, and a gas pumping station to Europe.
The Ukrainian incursion into Kursk cannot be called a "counterattack", despite the speed of its implementation, the factor of surprise and the shock, and given its location within the limits of the Russia and the initial success it achieved, the appropriate name for it is to describe it as a limited and unexpected breakthrough, and it is unlikely to succeed and continue, based on the difference in military capabilities between the Russian and Ukrainian sides. It is expected that Russian forces will be able to address this penetration and fill the gaps caused by it during Shortly, and even retaliation through further advances and marches along the front line inside Ukraine, and perhaps beyond, although the breach suggests it has been in the works for a long time.
Objectives of the Ukrainian attack
The backgrounds, objectives and objectives of the U.S.-Ukrainian attack and incursion into the Russian province of Kursk can be summarized as follows:
First, disperse Russian forces along the front line and relieve the pressure exerted by Russian forces on Ukrainian forces in the Donbas region, specifically in Donestik, where the Russian army advances almost daily by forcing Russia to move some of its forces to that new front.
Second, pressure on Moscow to change its preconceived and conditional position on peace talks, which insists on taking into account the new reality imposed by its special military operation in Ukraine and annexing it to the four regions, and considering this a non-negotiable condition in any peace talks, as Kiev believes that controlling territory within the borders of the Russia will give it a negotiating card that enables it to exchange territory with Moscow.
Third, Washington and NATO believe that taking the conflict into Russian territory through a ground incursion will lead to divisions inside Russia that could weaken the Russian leadership's position and push it to make concessions.
Fourth, it is not excluded that Washington, which has been in crisis in the Middle East, along with its ally "Israel" since the start of the Al-Aqsa flood more than ten months ago, and in light of its inability to change the equations of conflict in that region, seeks, through pressure on Moscow on the Ukrainian front, to make a political and geopolitical trade-off, especially since Moscow's position on the conflict in the Middle East tends to favor the opponents of the United States, and we mean the axis of resistance.
Fifth, with its troops suffering on the ground, heavy personnel losses, weak military mobilization, and significant troop shortages due to frustration with the outcome of the ongoing conflict, the Ukrainian regime seeks to boost Ukrainians' morale and push them to join the Ukrainian armed forces by suggesting a military achievement, even if temporary and symbolic.
Sixth, Kiev seeks to take control of the gas pumping station in the Kursk province or threaten to blow it up. This station is responsible for pumping gas to Europe in order to put pressure on some European countries that get gas from Russia and oppose many of NATO's actions against them, such as Hungary and Slovakia, and refuse to provide military support to Ukraine.
Seventh, one of the dangerous and potential targets of the Ukrainian attack is the threat to target the Kursk nuclear power plant, as Kiev believes that this will give it a pressure card that it can use to prevent Moscow from targeting power plants inside Ukraine, especially before the arrival of winter, and in light of the energy crisis that Ukraine is experiencing.
Eighth, the Democratic Biden administration, in light of the intensification of electoral competition, seeks to achieve what enables it to market the option of war on Russia among the American voter, who tends to the opinion of Republicans who accuse the Biden administration of allocating tax money for the benefit of Ukraine in light of the inflation and public debt crisis that Washington is experiencing.
Ninth, since the start of Russia's pre-emptive military operation in the Donbass, it has become clear that Washington is deliberately provoking Moscow as far as possible. This was done by blowing up the Nord Stream line, targeting Russian territory with American weapons, sinking the famous Russian cruiser Moskava and, today, attacking Kursk inside Russian territory.
Washington understands that all of this represents crossing Moscow's red lines and that it could eventually push it to use nuclear weapons. Perhaps Washington is planning something like this to be a justification and an excuse for it to do the same in other parts of the world, and in the Middle East in particular, where the horizon remains blocked and its prestige is constantly eroding.
U.S. Official Position
Despite the announcement by the White House spokesman that Washington was not aware of the Ukrainian attack on the Russian province of Kursk before it took place, and despite other official US statements in which Washington claimed that it did not participate in the attack or in preparing it, and that it did not encourage Kiev to carry it out, all this is not accepted by reason or logic, and does not come out of the circle of deliberate disinformation that Washington used to market in such cases, as is the case with crimes and attacks that It is committed by its ally Israel in occupied Palestine and the Middle East as a whole. The deceptive American position can be refuted through several points and things that we can summarize as follows:
First, Washington is Kiev's main financier in its war against Russia and its main arms supplier. Of course, Washington gives money or weapons to a friend or ally only if it is certain and guaranteed that those funds and weapons can only be used by its ally.
Second, it is known far and wide that US intelligence is infiltrated inside Ukraine and on the front lines with Russia, and at a minimum it was aware of the Ukrainian attack on Kursk before it happened, and not as Washington claims it was not aware of.
Third, Washington's denial of knowledge of or involvement in the attack can be attributed to its fear of its inevitable failure in the end, and therefore it does not want to appear as a loser in that battle in front of Russia and its army, whether before international public opinion or in front of American domestic opinion.
Fourth: Washington believes that considering the decision to attack a purely Ukraine decision will lead to the promotion of the Ukrainian leadership inside Ukraine, especially since this leadership expired according to the Ukrainian constitution after the end of Zelensky's term and his refusal to hold elections in the war.
Fifthly, Washington does not want to be held responsible for the brutal massacres and attacks by Ukrainian forces on civilians and civilian installations in Kursk, because this will contribute to the further deterioration of its reputation at the global level, especially in light of its absolute support for the crimes of the Zionist entity in the Gaza Strip.
Finally, it must be said that Russian President Vladimir Putin, who has dealt with American, NATO, and Nazi provocations in Ukraine wisely and thoughtfully, is well aware of the goals and objectives of Washington and its proxies in Kiev.
Just as he was able to overcome these provocations and focus on the field successes and victories achieved by his forces on the ground, he will do the same today with regard to the attack on Kursk, and it will not be long before the Russian armed forces crush the Ukrainian attacking forces and regain control of the entire situation in Kursk, and move to respond to this penetration by increasing the pace of military operations inside Ukraine, emptying the treacherous attack of its goals and objectives, and turning it into an opportunity for retaliation and revenge.
