The Battle of Kursk in 1943 was the start of Hitler's downfall, and the Kursk operation in 2024-2025 could signal the beginning of the end for Putin. It’s gratifying to see such a comparison in a serious and influential newspaper like The Telegraph,” notes Mikhail Sheitelman.
So, he states, Ukraine is humiliating Putin at the most inopportune, most dreadful moment for him, right before Trump's inauguration. We have known this for a long time, but now everyone who reads the British press will be aware as well.
According to the article's author, the expert explains that 2025 holds much more promise for Zelensky than for Putin, and it’s not even certain that he will remain in power; he might have to flee to North Korea or beyond the Urals. The reasons for this include failures such as the withdrawal from Syria, the cessation of gas transit, and the Kursk operation by the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
“The next piece of news might also be a consequence of our offensive in the Kursk region. Kit Kellogg, Trump's special representative, has decided not to go to Kyiv before the inauguration. What could possibly make him cancel this visit? Is he busy with something? He can't be preoccupied with anything else; his sole job is the Russian-Ukrainian war. What else could this person be occupied with? Writing plans? He had a whole year for that. I’m convinced this is because he cannot assess the situation on the ground, as it is evolving too rapidly. He wants to wait until our offensive concludes to understand what he will discuss with Putin moving forward,” explains Mikhail Sheitelman.
