A lot of them ended up in the city of Kursk, which is now also under risk of needing evacuate its 400000 residents. This is going to be a nightmare for Putin to deal with

Nah, it's a nightmare for the civilian administration, Putin doesn't give a single fuck. He might be upset about the square kilometers of land, the factories that Kursk has, or the strategic importance, but I doubt he lost sleep over the residents

I disagree, residents talk. Residents have family members around St Petersburg and Moscow that will share stories about how fucked this is. This puts Vlad in a bind

So, you're saying they need a couple of divisions of blocking troops to keep the bad news contained?

I'm only half joking, that's not even completely impossible

What are they gonna do? Allow the police to put a fresh coat of red on the Red Square?

They can always head north to Moscow. Plenty of potatoes and vodka to cry over.
