In the 100th episode of Iltalehti’s Tilannestudio, the Kursk attack is dissected and viewers’ questions on the subject are answered.
The Kursk offensive has not completely stopped, but the movement is somewhat more rigid. Tilannestudio viewers have sent questions especially regarding Kursk and they were answered in the 100th episode of the program.
Situation studio expert Emil Kastehelmi reveals why Ukraine does not seek to open more new fronts near the Russian border. The benefits remain rather small.
– If new directions are now opened without the enemy being stopped with its own main focus areas in which it promotes its own political goals, then it is a bit of a challenging combination, says Kastehelmi, referring to the tense situation in Eastern Ukraine.
Russia has managed to advance in the East by leaps and bounds. Committing troops to an increasing extent to the northeast or in general near the Russian border could open up better conditions for Russia in Donetsk.
Spectators also asked whether Kursk would be useful for Ukraine at all.
– There are reasons why the operation can be justifiably questioned. Since the first days, I have said that I don’t know if the operation necessarily makes an awful lot of sense considering the overall picture.
– I’m still not saying that the Kursk operation will necessarily turn completely to the plus side for Ukraine, although it certainly has features that are really useful and that could not have been achieved in other ways.

In addition, the episode also tries to answer questions that don’t really have answers at all. Viewers have asked, among other things, how the war will end and whether Russia will eventually get nuclear weapons, and whether Ukraine would have enough equipment and soldiers if the West stopped helping. The entire episode can be viewed from the beginning of the article.
Special reporter Emil Kastehelmi is one of the founders of the Black Bird Group, which follows the situation at the front of the war in Ukraine. The team follows the development of the war in Ukraine through open sources and updates the situation on The War in Ukraine online map.
