Ukrainian Strategy and Implications

The situation in Ukraine is likened to the Battle of Gettysburg, with the Ukrainians taking risky strategic actions without clear purpose. Initial theories suggest they attacked Kursk to divert Russian forces from Donetsk, but this plan ultimately failed, leading to a retreat of Ukrainian units instead. Another notion was that they aimed to capture a nuclear power plant to coerce Russia into negotiations, a mission that also did not materialize. These failures have led the conflict to potentially escalate from a special military operation to a more extensive war, as Russia may respond with increased aggression, aiming to significantly damage Ukraine.
