The Coli’s armchair generals!
Ukraine’s generals in the Second World War were proud Soviets, like Semyon Timoshenko or the Nazi forbears of Azov Battalion.
So who was it attacking in Kursk to arrest broad Russian advantages then

Similar to 1943, forces who are adherents, or are adjacent to, Nazism.

If it was 1944 and it was during the Ardennes Offensive, you'd be saying that the Nazis were going to beat the Allies in France.

Another district of Russia’s southwestern Kursk region has announced that it is evacuating residents, as Russia’s Foreign Intelligence Service described the continuing Ukrainian incursion into Russian territory as “insane” on Tuesday.
Bolshesoldatsky district head Vladimir Zaitsev implored residents “not to panic and to treat each other with respect” and pledged to do everything in his power to evacuate the civilian population. The district is the sixth district in the Kursk region to announce evacuation measures, but the first that doesn’t directly border Ukraine.
Ukraine has also restricted entry for non-residents to any area of the Sumy region less than 20km from the Russian border, citing increased hostilities and the number of Russian sabotage and reconnaissance groups active in the area.
Russia’s Foreign Intelligence Service accused Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky of “taking insane steps that threaten to escalate the situation far beyond the borders of Ukraine” as the AFU’s unprecedented advance into Russian territory entered its second week.
Meanwhile, General Apti Alaudinov, who commands the Chechen Akhmat special forces, claimed with no evidence on Tuesday that the AFU incursion was being led by US generals.
Zelensky said that Ukrainian troops were targeting areas from where Russia had launched attacks on Ukraine in the past and that it was “only fair to destroy Russian terrorists where they launch their strikes” in his nightly address to the nation on Monday.
The office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights has requested the Kremlin grant it access to Russian military records to verify claims made by Russia’s Human Rights Commissioner Tatyana Moskalkova of civilian casualties in the Kursk region caused by the AFU incursion, Russian state-owned news agency RIA Novosti reported.

KYIV — Russia pulled some troops out of southern Ukraine and back into its own territory to try to fend off an escalating incursion by Kyiv’s forces, a Ukrainian official said on Tuesday.
Ukraine’s ongoing surprise attack has triggered scrambling in Moscow where President Vladimir Putin has expressed anger after Kyiv snatched dozens of settlements and huge areas of territory in the Kursk and Belgorod regions of southern Russia.
“Russia has relocated some of its units from both Zaporizhzhia and Kherson regions of Ukraine’s south,” Dmytro Lykhoviy, a Ukrainian army spokesman, told POLITICO.

To try to counter Ukrainian gains, Russian troops have, however, continued their offensive on Pokrovsk and elsewhere in Ukraine’s Donetsk region, according to the General Staff of the Ukrainian Army, in one of the hottest spots on the war front where Russia is gaining ground.
But Lykhoviy added on Ukrainian TV that Russia has been relocating personnel to “other directions, including to Kursk.”
In a tense meeting in Russia on Monday, local authorities described to an irritated Putin how Ukrainian forces had overrun meager defenses in the south starting last week, sparking mass evacuations of nearly 200,000 people.
As Ukraine captured territory, Russian commanders initially played down the assault, insisting the military had things under control. But more than a week later, Ukraine now controls at least 1,000 square kilometers of Russian territory.
The incursion has boosted morale in Ukraine, which has been suffering under Putin’s full-scale invasion for two and a half years, while also giving a fillip to Western allies that want to see Kyiv tilt the battlefield in its favor.
In Moscow on Monday, an ally of Putin pointed the finger at Russia’s military for not being prepared to stave off a Ukrainian attack and added that Russian border troops were the last to receive information about the ongoing Ukrainian offensive, leaving them scant time to act.
But while withdrawing some units for Kursk, Russian forces have actively attacked and initiated fights across the war front in Ukraine, including in the south from where troops were pulled out.
“However, Russians have accumulated a large number of personnel, in particular in the Zaporizhzhia region, and the number of units they are redeploying is relatively small,” Lykhoviy said on Ukrainian TV.
And they indeed initiated several attacks on Kherson the night they withdrew some forces. “We must still understand whether it is a smokescreen activity,” Lykhoviy added.

It's being reported that the UA has captured 2,000+ Russian soldiers in Kursk. If even remotely accurate, that is huge.

Oh, I've seen those videos. Some of those kids look clean like they're from Middle/upper-middle class families. Not the typical old, dirty drunkards we're used to seeing. It's a terrible look for Russia.
