Total crap. Anyone can watch Putin interviews since this war began and they sound a lot like his recent interview where he reiterated once again the purpose and objectives of the SMO.
As for Kursk, what was the strategic objective behind it? To get 50-70k of Ukraine's better fighters encircled and slaughtered? It was another idiotic PR stunt by Zelensky that ended in yet another total failure.
What? there have been many justifications, with many iterations. and you guys have never questioned any of the flip flopping.
