President Trump said he strongly requested that Russian President Vladimir Putin spare the lives of Ukrainian soldiers surrounded by Russian troops, in a statement posted to his social media site.

“There is a very good chance that this horrible, bloody war can finally come to an end — BUT, AT THIS VERY MOMENT, THOUSANDS OF UKRAINIAN TROOPS ARE COMPLETELY SURROUNDED BY THE RUSSIAN MILITARY, AND IN A VERY BAD AND VULNERABLE POSITION,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.

Putin's response: "Surrender or die."
"Putin said Ukrainian soldiers were cut off inside the invasion zone. "And if a physical blockade occurs in the coming days, then no one will be able to leave at all, there will be only two ways - to surrender or die."

In tragic absurdity, Ukraine claims that their troops are not surrounded.  Time will tell.  We're finally getting to "reality crunch time" where the facts become obvious and the BS jettisoned..
"Ukraine’s top commander denied earlier this week that Ukrainian troops were being encircled in Kursk, Reuters reported, but said they were adopting better defensive positions."

No doubt we will be told that the Ukranians are marching on Moscow tomorrow and that the Ruskies are down to throwing rocks and shivering in fear.  🙄 Well, until we are told that the Ukrainians are being slaughtered and the West screams, "War Crimes!"  Stand by, we'll see.

Back when the invasion in Kursk started I said that the Russians would likely cut off the supply lines and the invasion would fail. Seems it took a while longer to do so than I thought, but surrounding the occupying forces is a pretty good way to cut supplies, and without supplies an army is doomed.

 

I don't envy the Ukrainains ( and even less if they are mercenaries ), and they best be hoping that the troops that taking them into custody are not some really PO guys from the back blocks of Russia that have seen many of their friends die at the hands of the Ukrainians.
