Ukraine finally scored a major victory by invading Russian territory. Keeping it isn’t going to be easy. Vladimir Putin promises to kick them out as quick as he can. Right now, Ukrainian troops are still “in control of dozens of Russian villages and large swathes of land.” They took the Kremlin totally by surprise a week ago when they crossed the border.

Ukraine invades Russia

Ukraine finally managed to turn the tables by invading Russia. Volodymyr Zelenskyy was grinning from ear-to-ear as Vlad was forced to hold a meeting Monday, August 12, with local officials from the affected areas.

Also on hand were “some of Russia’s top security, government and law enforcement personnel.” The general idea is to take as much territory from Russia as the Russians took from them.

Aleksey Smirnov, acting head of the Kursk region, informed President Putin “that 28 settlements in his region were now under Ukrainian control.

The Ukraine forces “had managed to advance some 7.5 miles into the territory across a 25-mile wide stretch of the border.” According to Ukrainian military chief Oleksandr Syrskyi, they presently hold 386 square miles of Russian territory.

Vlad didn’t appear too worried about the situation, calling the incursion a minor inconvenience. Ukraine, he shrugs, just wants to “improve its negotiation position.” Holding a big chunk of his territory to trade back is effective and Putin is well aware of that.

Using his expertise as a seasoned political leader, he looked at the camera and lied. “But what kind of negotiations can we even talk about with people who indiscriminately strike at civilians, at civilian infrastructure, or try to create threats to nuclear power facilities. What can we even talk about with them?” It’s his troops who set the fire. They’re burning tires in the cooling tower and blaming it on the resistance.

The thing that really looks bad for Vlad is going on TV to announce evacuations.

Flipping the script

The best defense, PR experts agree, is a good offense. When you’re guilty of something, accuse your opponent of it. Nobody can “independently verify Putin’s claims that Ukraine has struck civilians in the incursion.” On the other hand, “over the course of the war, Russia has been repeatedly accused of targeting Ukrainian civilians and civilian infrastructure.

Kyiv isn’t the only one making that accusation. Their Western allies are, too. Including “the International Criminal Court and the United Nations.” Russia denies it and ignores the evidence.

At Monday’s meeting, Putin ordered his security chiefs to pop Ukraine forces out like watermelon seeds. “The main task is certainly before the Ministry of Defense: to squeeze out, knock out the enemy from our territories and, together with the border guard service, ensure reliable protection of the state border.

Russia understands the importance of a secure border. If Ukrainian soldiers had changed clothes and wandered across the border claiming asylum Vlad wouldn’t have let them in. He knows an invasion when he can see one.

The thing that really looks bad for Vlad is going on TV to announce evacuations. When Ukraine rolled their tanks into town it “sparked a large wave of evacuations from the border regions.” Smirnov reported that “180,000 people had been told to evacuate and that 121,000 have left already.” Vyacheslav Gladkov, the governor of the neighboring Belgorod was “having a disturbing morning.

That’s because of “enemy activities on the border of Krasnoyaruzhsky district.” He’s sure “that our military will do everything to cope with this threat. But to protect the life and health of our people, we are beginning to relocate people who live in the Krasnoyaruzhsky district to safer places.” Ukraine keeps rolling into the Russian heartland. What’s Putin going to do? Bomb them?
