The Russian military command may have redeployed limited elements intended to reinforce Russia's priority offensive operation in the Pokrovsk direction to defend against the Ukrainian incursion in Kursk Oblast — suggesting that operational pressures from the Ukrainian incursion in Kursk Oblast are impacting Russian operations in every sector throughout the theater. Russian sources, including social media users, claimed on August 14 and 17 that at least a company of the Russian 15th Motorized Rifle Brigade (2nd Combined Arms Army [CAA], Central Military District [CMD]) redeployed from the Pokrovsk direction to Kursk Oblast.[1] Select Russian and Ukrainian open-source communities also stated that unspecified elements of the 15th Motorized Rifle Brigade redeployed to Kursk Oblast.[2] Elements of the Russian 15th Motorized Rifle Brigade have been committed to Russian offensive operations in the Pokrovsk direction. ISW observed reports that elements of the brigade are operating east of Pokrovsk in mid-August and as recently as today.[3] A volunteer-led OSINT organization Evocation.info stated on August 19 that Russia has also redeployed elements of the 1st "Slavic" Motorized Rifle Brigade (1st Donetsk People's Republic [DNR] Army Corps [AC]) from the Donetsk direction to Kursk Oblast, and ISW observed claims that elements of the brigade were operating in the Toretsk and Pokrovsk directions in late July and August 2024.[4] ISW has observed no indications that these redeployed elements were previously engaged in frontline combat in Russia's assessed priority Toretsk and Pokrovsk direction, and the Russian military command likely remains extremely averse to pulling combat effective units from frontline areas in these directions.[5] The redeployed units were likely reserve units that the Russian military command intended to use to reinforce the Russian grouping in these directions and stave off the threat of pre-mature operational culmination, however.
The Russian military command's decision to redeploy limited elements to Kursk Oblast instead of committing the elements to the operation to seize Pokrovsk or Toretsk suggests that the Russian military command has not been able to fully insulate its priority offensive operations in Donetsk Oblast from the manpower demands brought about by the Ukrainian incursion in Kursk Oblast. The Russian military command thus far has avoided redeploying any forces slated to participate in offensive operations in the Toretsk or Pokrovsk directions to defensive operations in Kursk Oblast and thus far mainly has pulled forces from lower priority directions — northern Kharkiv Oblast, the Kupyansk-Svatove-Kreminna line, and western Zaporizhia Oblast.[6] The redeployment of limited elements of the 15th and 1st motorized rifle brigades will not have an immediate impact on the battlefield situation in the Pokrovsk or Toretsk directions, as these are small forces, however. It remains unclear if the Russian military command has already or will redeploy additional reserve forces intended for Russia's offensive operations in the Pokrovsk and Toretsk directions to address the Ukrainian incursion into Kursk Oblast.

And yet Russia troops are less than 8 km from Pokrovsk,with Ukrainian lines collapsing by the day,but hey go team Ukraine,no matter how many young lives it costs.

Agreed. This will only stop when Russia leaves Ukraine. All these young lives are being wasted because of the imperial ambitions of little Vlad. History will remember him and his supporters in the same bracket as Hitler's fascists. The Ukrainian fight to defend their home will be viewed as heroic. The West as probably holding back on giving them the support they needed these last couple of years - but hey go the Orcs, blowing a little girls head off as she sat in a playground. After all, you're safe trolling the Ukraine thread.

Trolling? Pointing out the obvious,that however many pro war Retweets you post young Ukrainians are dying in their thousands. Just how many more years and Ukrainian lives would it take to expell Russia from the Donbass and Crimean peninsula? Care to give us a year,and the death toll, nearest hundred thousand?Agreed.

Fixed that for you spud. And the time it ends is when Russia are expelled.
Russia cannot win here. They now face the reality of hundreds of thousands of military trained Ukrainians. Even if the Ukraine gov said we'll cede the occupied regions it is reasonable to say Russia would face a paramilitary resistance from that point forward.

Pokrovsk is getting pummelled by Russian shelling. They're just a handful of kms away from capturing it.
The Kursk incursion hastened this. An almighty blunder that's cost another near 8,000 Ukrainian soldier's their lives.
After this war Zelensky and his generals will face a reckoning. Their cretinous decision making and failure to move toward diplomacy has shattered a generation of Ukrainians and led to a scale of destruction that will take decades to recovery from, if ever.

Well around 3.5 - 5 million Ukrainians died in a state enforced famine in the Holodomor in which eventually the population was forced to eat dogs, rats, tree bark and eventually cannibalise their own children.
How much would you sacrifice to never have that happen again?
Aren't you Irish? Have any thoughts on famines?
You're an absolute apologetic disgrace to whatever flag pities you enough to have you cower beneath it.

You’d have backed Neville Chamberlain wouldn’t you, Dave?
Their right to resist occupation -100%, their right to commit atrocities, no one in that thread feels this way. The thread is in general very sympathetic to the decades long plight of the Palestinian people and very much anti the current genocide we are witnessing.
Pop in and have a read.
