乌克兰将战斗转移到库尔斯克地区到目前为止已经三周。战略目标正在变得更加清晰 —— 不是军事目标，而是政治目标。
根据泽连斯基最近几天所说的话，并考虑到乌克兰“和平计划”的转变方式，这一目标更有可能是为了将西方更深地进入这场冲突，以便将其国际化。
从这个意义上说，主要的政治联系可以追溯到库尔斯克事件后乌克兰向世界发出的“信息”：「我们可以——这意味着我们必须——这意味着你不应该干涉我们—— 至少允许用你的武器进行打击俄罗斯领土上任何深度的任何目标。你们看到了俄罗斯人什么也做不了，所以它的核武器没什么可怕的，所以我们会赢的！」
必须强调这点，以免被误解：将欧洲直接拖入战争是乌克兰的合法军事政治战略。每个人都在尽力保护自己。从这个意义上讲，西方直接参与战争似乎是乌克兰在战争中取得军事胜利的唯一可以理解的战略。
至于西方将如何应对，那是另一个问题。但无论如何，库尔斯克的政治意义就在于此。

Latvia’s defence minister says we should not think of Russia as the product of Putin, but rather think of Putin as the product of Russia.
There’s great wisdom in that thought.

对停战可能性的所有怀疑都是基于这样一种假设，即：这场战争的本质仍将是阵地的，任何一方都不会在前线取得战略突破 ……只有战略上的成败才是最重要的，这与其说改变的是交战国的军事形势，不如说是军事政治形势。

Big boom
"State of Emergency Declared as Huge #Explosion Rocks #Russia’s Vladimir Region"
Vladimir Oblast is directly east of #Moscow
Lots of chatter as to cause (you can discard anything the #Russian govt says about it, or anything else really)
It was a very large explosion, probably larger than the 2020 Beirut Explosion
The depot was one of the largest warehouses in the Russian Federation: guided bombs, artillery shells, missiles, etc
All go boom
🥳
