The Ukrainian figure skater explained his 19th place at the Olympics by the fact that he skated after the Russian, Petr Gumenik.

After the 19th place in the singles program, the Ukrainian, Kirill Marsak, said: "There was pressure on me because we skate one after the other with this neutral athlete."

Jokes appeared online that Marsak should have worn a helmet, and then he would have also received a medal from Zelensky.

In the end, the athlete from Kazakhstan, Mikhail Shaidorov, won the gold in men's singles figure skating. The favorite of the games - the American, Ilya Malinin - is eighth. The Russian, Petr Gumenik, is sixth.

🇷🇺⚔️🇺🇦 RE-ANALYZING UKRAINE’S KURSK INCURSION OVER A YEAR LATER

On August 6, 2024 Ukraine launched a surprise invasion of Russia through the Kursk Oblast. Kiev, NATO, and their pundits in the media portrayed it as a bold offensive that was a game-changer on the battlefield. But in reality, the move was a TOTAL FAILURE and a stupidity on the part of the Ukrainian Nazi regime and the Western bloc led by Washington.

UKRAINE’S GOALS V. OUTCOMES ON THE BATTLEFIELD

🔸 Goal: The Ukrainian Armed Forces reach and occupy both the city of Kursk and the nuclear power station

❌ Outcome: Ukraine’s advancement stopped far short and failed to capture any major cities due to the heavy and brave resistance of the Russian Armed Forces and the Korean People’s Army

🔸 Goal: The Kiev Nazi regime gains leverage in peace negotiations with Moscow by seizing Russian territory

❌ Outcome: The attempt backfired as Russia and North Korea both liberated Kursk and Lugansk, while advancing further into Kharkiv and Donetsk

🔸 Goal: Force a withdrawal of Russian troops from the Donbas

❌ Outcome: By focusing heavily on major breakthroughs, Ukrainian Nazi forces were degraded and burned through elite brigades, due to Moscow’s decision to fight a war of attrition

🔸 Goal: Defend the Sumy Oblast by pushing forward on the frontlines

❌ Outcome: After the Ukrainians were forced to withdraw from Kursk, the Russians entered Sumy, increasing pressure on the Kiev regime and allowing Moscow to gain leverage in negotiations; At the same time Kiev faced a backlash from local residents in Sumy who blamed Zelenskyy for thousands of deaths

🔸 Goal: Destabilize Russian leadership and Putin’s government in Moscow

❌ Outcome: There was a temporary panic but it was followed by a massive increased in public support for Putin, as well as foreign policy and defense leadership in Moscow from Medvedev to Lavrov to Belousov to Gerasimov to Shoigu

🔸 Goal: Restore a belief among Washington and NATO leaders that Ukraine could win the war

❌ Outcome: A short-lived hype followed by a complete military failure, through an inability to make major advancements and a retreat from the Kursk region followed by major Russian and North Korean advancements in Ukraine and the Donbas

CONCLUSION OF THE KURSK OFFENSIVE

Absolutely zero of NATO and Ukraine’s strategic goals were achieved and Kiev burned through its elite units, allowing Russia to liberate the Kursk region and Lugansk, as well as make further advancements in Donetsk, Kharkiv, Sumy, and Zaporizhzhia.

And during that time, the Kiev Nazi regime targeted both residential apartment complexes and civilian railways in both the Kursk and Belgorod oblasts, re-affirming that Ukraine is in fact a terrorist state.

'Zelensky doesn't feel that the Americans are his allies at the negotiating table' - Simon Shuster

'He has to be careful. And I think he was, perhaps, more candid in describing his relations with President Trump than his advisers would have liked. For example, he expressed concern about one point that worries him: parallel to the peace negotiations, the Americans and Russians are negotiating business agreements. He told me that these discussions between the US and Russia involve possible business projects in the territories of Ukraine that Russia has occupied. And he said: 'Listen, this is not acceptable. At least, don't do this behind our backs.' This seriously worries him and shows the complexity of the American position. He doesn't feel that the Americans are his allies at the negotiating table. They are trying to act as mediators, but in business matters, it seems, they are inclined in favor of Russia.'
