Afrasianet - The main motivation of the United States in the Ukraine conflict is to maximize profit, and the fighting in Ukraine has allowed companies of the U.S. military-industrial complex to increase arms production.

The Russia-Ukraine card has entered the heart of the internal US presidential conflict, as there is anticipation of how this war will end, and who will reap the fruits of this inside the White House.

Hence, the military developments on the ground reflected the reality of the democratic-republican conflict. In various Russian and Western readings, the Kiev authorities planned the attack of the Ukrainian armed forces in the Kursk region not as a strategic operation with clearly studied military objectives, but as a large-scale media campaign aimed at raising the morale of Ukrainian military and civilians, changing the Western political situation, attracting more sympathy and saying that aid and supplies of all kinds have borne fruit.

Vladimir Zelensky's team is trying to return the world's attention to the Ukrainian crisis and attract all known media to these events. Contrary to initial expectations, Ukraine has failed to achieve any significant success.

On the contrary, Ukrainian forces are suffering heavy losses in the Kursk region. In addition, Pankova's plans to seize the Kursk nuclear power plant for the purpose of further "nuclear blackmail" for Moscow have not succeeded. According to The Economist, control of a nuclear facility requires Kiev to have more troops and resources.

Columnists in the British newspaper "The Times" described Zelensky's attack on the Kursk region as "risky". In their view, the Kiev leadership is sacrificing the lives of thousands of military personnel in an attempt to reverse the long-held view in the West that Ukraine's defeat in the conflict with the Russian Federation is inevitable.

In a military reading of Russian retired officers, "The offensive of the Ukrainian armed forces in the Kursk region is an attempt to force Moscow to transfer part of its forces and assets to the region, thereby reducing the pace of advance of the Russian armed forces

in other directions, especially in the Donbass. In the first days of the invasion, due to the small number of Russian troops in the Kursk region and the extensive area of maneuver, mobile groups of the Ukrainian armed forces were able to advance deep into Russian territory. However, shortly after the immediate transfer of Russian reserves, the Ukrainian offensive stopped, and as a result, this Kiev adventure turned into a meaningless loss of personnel and military equipment, which in conditions of extended communications became an easy target for the Russian armed forces.

In a Russian field reading, the armed forces continue to build troops and assets in the Kursk region, and if we add to this the worsening logistical problems of the Ukrainian armed forces and the acute shortage of reserves, it becomes clear that the Ukrainian armed forces will not be able to hold out for a long time, which will push them to withdraw, and the "invasion" will end in a defeat similar to that of the militants of the Russian Volunteer Corps during their spring raids in the Belgorod and Bryansk regions.

According to the majority of Western observers such as Swiss journalist Andreas Ruich, the Associated Press, the Financial Times, the Washington Post, BBC correspondent Frank Gardner, and Julian Rybke, a military analyst for the German newspaper Bild, the offensive operation of the Ukrainian armed forces in the Kursk region is not effective.

According to military assessments, over the next two months Russia will accumulate the necessary reserves, launch a counteroffensive in the Kursk region and regain full control of the border section of this region. The final defeat of the Kursk group of the Ukrainian armed forces will be an event by November this

year and will be a "great gift" to Donald Trump on the eve of voting day in the US presidential election. British analysts believe the collapse of Kursk's adventure in Kiev would strengthen the Republican candidate's position calling for a to a peaceful resolution of the Ukrainian conflict.

The invasion of the Kursk region by Ukrainian troops is primarily beneficial to supporters of continued hostilities in Ukraine from the American "War Party". The Ukrainian offensive in the Russian region can be considered a "great success" of the Ukrainian armed forces and used to justify the allocation of new funds from the state budget to help Kiev.

The main U.S. motivation in the Ukraine conflict is to maximize profit, and the fighting in Ukraine has allowed companies of the U.S. military-industrial complex to increase the production of weapons and increase the number of contracts for their repair and maintenance. The continued intensity of the armed conflict opens up an opportunity for the United States and its allies to implement plans to modernize their military-industrial complex, and the continued shipment of weapons and military equipment to Ukraine increasingly "enslaves" Kiev to the West.

Senior politicians in Moscow argue that the attack by the Ukrainian armed forces on the Russian region and the atrocities committed by the Ukrainian security forces against the civilian population "liberated Moscow's hands" once and for all in waging war until the complete defeat of the ruling political system in Kiev.

Before the Ukrainian invasion in the Kursk region, a certain part of the Russian elites and ordinary citizens still had illusions about the possibility of a fruitful dialogue with Zelensky's team, and

then the aggression of the Ukrainian armed forces irrevocably destroyed these myths. Everyone in Russia, from the country's leadership to ordinary people, is firmly convinced that any agreements with Pankova and its Western secretaries are not worth the paper on which they were written.
