The Kursk salient. Once a footnote in history books, now a bloody battleground echoing the desperation of Russia’s faltering war in Ukraine. These video reports offer a raw, unfiltered glimpse into the brutal realities on the ground, where Putin’s deadlines clash with the unforgiving grip of winter and the unwavering resistance of Ukrainian forces.

The Quagmire Deepens: Analyzing the Kursk Impasse
The reports from Kursk reveal a clear trend: Russia’s reliance on brute force tactics is backfiring spectacularly. Their repeated failures, coupled with logistical challenges and declining morale, suggest a campaign on the verge of collapse. The winter weather will likely further exacerbate these issues, making sustained offensive operations even more difficult. While Putin’s pressure for a swift victory remains, the realities on the ground paint a picture of an increasingly costly and unsustainable war of attrition. The question remains: how long can Russia maintain this offensive before the cost becomes politically untenable?

Today there are a lot of updates from the Kursk direction.
Here, in a desperate attempt to penetrate the Ukrainian salient from the west, the Russians have committed their entire arsenal of armored vehicles to the battle. However, the devastating losses inflicted by Ukraine’s layered defenses seems to have exhausted their reserves of armor in Kursk to the point where they were left with no options other than to resort to pure infantry assaults on foot with even more catastrophic outcomes.
The main Russian goal here is to create a foothold on the east side of the Snagost River, capture the settlements along the bank, and collapse the Ukrainian defense to cut off supplies to Ukrainian forces to the north. All Russian attacks to this moment have failed due to the natural barrier in the form of the river and the strong Ukrainian positions on elevated points on the other side.
This has prompted the Russians to change their approach and throw all their efforts to break through from the north around Tolstyi Lug. If they establish a firm presence in the area, they will achieve not only their main goal but will also be able to increase the direct attacks against Novoivanovka to the east where they have failed miserably in the previous weeks.
The initial Russian assault involved several armored personnel carriers attempting to bypass a large local water reservoir and advance southward. However, the repeated use of this route in prior attacks on Novoivanovka had led Ukrainian forces to maintain constant surveillance of the area with drones equipped with thermal imaging. Once the Russian vehicles were detected, Ukrainian forces swiftly engaged them with Javelin anti-tank missiles, obliterating the convoy on the spot. The surviving troops sought refuge in the tree line near the water but were quickly neutralized by precision strikes from FPV drones.
This initial attempt by the Russians aimed at finding out the Ukrainian fire positions and checking how quickly they would respond. It was immediately followed by several large waves of at least 6 to 10 armored vehicles each, including several types of tanks, infantry fighting vehicles, and bigger numbers of infantry. The main Russian idea was to overwhelm the defenders and penetrate their line with brute force, prompting them to retreat further east.
Unfortunately for the Russians, the Ukrainians had anticipated such moves and extensively mined large sections of the surrounding fields. This forced the attackers to attempt a breakthrough along their former defensive positions, originally designed to protect the international border. Geolocated footage revealed the dire consequences: some Russian vehicles became immobilized on anti-tank dragon’s teeth, making them easy targets for Ukrainian forces, while others were caught in the open and swiftly destroyed by a combination of Javelin missiles, artillery strikes, and FPV drone attacks.
Wave after wave of Russian mechanized assaults ended in flames with soldiers of the Ukrainian 225th Assault Battalion and the 36th Marine Brigade publishing several videos highlighting the devastating results of the two-day-long Russian operation. The images show fields cluttered with burning remnants of Russian tanks and armored vehicles, scattered along a vast area between Tolstyi Lug, Zelenyi Shlyakh, and Nizhnii Klin, turning it into a graveyard of tanks and other armored vehicles.
One Ukrainian fighter from the 24th Assault Battalion confirmed that Russians switched to pure infantry assaults now, which indicates that the Russian units lost so much armor so quickly that they ran out of reserves in the warehouses in Kursk.
Overall, the relentless Russian attempts to break through the Ukrainian defenses around Tolstyi Lug have resulted in catastrophic losses, both in personnel and equipment. Despite shifting tactics and exhausting resources, they have been unable to overcome the well-prepared Ukrainian positions, underscoring the ineffectiveness of their campaign in this region despite Putin’s orders and deadlines.

Today there is interesting news from the Kursk direction.
Here, Russian forces are throwing everyone available, even wounded personnel, in a desperate attempt to win back the whole Kursk region from the Ukrainians by mid-January. At the same time, Ukrainian soldiers are holding their defense lines and are refusing to be pushed out by adjusting on time with all developments of the dynamic battlefield.
Facing pressure to secure favorable negotiation terms before Donald Trump’s inauguration on January 20, 2025, Vladimir Putin has ordered relentless assaults to reclaim the entire Kursk region, aiming to ensure no Russian territory remains under Ukrainian control and to bolster his domestic and international standing ahead of anticipated peace talks.
Due to these orders, the Russian military continues to sustain heavy losses while attempting to retake territory, demonstrating a strategy that appears both desperate and poorly calculated. Despite repeated failures, Russian forces persist in their offensives, deploying waves of personnel and equipment against the cleverly structured Ukrainian defense. The result was a predictable increase in casualties, which prompted Russian commanders to throw wounded soldiers, before they had been completely healed, back to the frontlines due to a dire shortage of skilled personnel.
On top of that, the rapidly deteriorating weather has put the Russian offensive to a complete halt. Russian soldiers are reporting that they are losing their tanks and armored vehicles before they even get close to the frontline because they get stuck in mud. Many of these vehicles simply cannot be evacuated and are finished off by the Ukrainian kamikaze drone before the weather gives Russians any chance to try and evacuate their tanks. Soldiers struggle to navigate the mud, losing cohesion and becoming easy targets, further degrading Russian operational capacity in these increasingly unforgiving conditions.
One Ukrainian soldier commented that the Russians continue to bet on achieving results with the same approach of frontal attacks even though it is hardly yielding any results. His statement is confirmed by a geolocated video from Zeleny Shlyah, released by the Ukrainian 36th Marine Brigade. It shows a Russian mechanized assault aimed at breaking through the Ukrainian defense and advancing the stalled offensive in the region. Two armored vehicles attempt to push forward but are swiftly destroyed by Javelin anti-tank guided missiles. The remaining troops, trying to secure nearby trenches, are bombarded by drones and eliminated in close combat, turning the assault into a complete disaster. Such failures make the Russians seriously concerned about the situation, realizing that no matter what Putin demands, they won’t be able to reclaim the territory in Kursk anytime soon.
The situation has become so dire that Russian soldiers have begun recording videos urging their families never to join the army, warning that doing so would mean certain death. These harsh messages, discovered by Ukrainians on the phones of fallen Russian troops, reveal the desperation of those who sent these recordings to their relatives just before being forced again into suicidal assaults.
Overall, the culmination of several key factors has created a scenario where Russian attempts to retake the Kursk region are met with increasingly high costs and diminishing returns. Rather than adjusting their tactics to account for the harsh realities on the ground, Russian commanders appear locked into a pattern of brute-force assaults, relying on sheer numbers to compensate for a lack of strategy. This approach not only exacerbates their losses but also highlights the limits of their operational effectiveness in the face of adverse weather and resilient opposition. The ongoing campaign in Kursk thus stands as a grim testament to the flaws in Russia’s military strategy.
