What is really happening in Kursk border areas?

Is Ukraine about to use all its reserves there?

You mentioned that you disagree with General Apty Alaudinov about how long the war goes on? Will Ukraine fight until Kiev and Lvov is taken?

How are the ethnic peoples of Russia feel part of the country? Is there a sense of shared patriotism and belonging? Do they feel as equals? Is it common to marry aming different groups? Is it common to move and live in different regions other that their native regions?

Dear Mr. Khairullin,

Is the AFU still feeding Brigades into the Kursk Oblast?

I saw a report ,just in passing, that 'elensky said he ordered 1/3 of all available ones to the area. This strikes me as an All In decision in a form of Poker called Texas Hold 'em

Also, how long do soldiers stay on the Line of Combat Contact? For what period of time until they return?

I feel quite special to even be asking a Frontline combat journalist of your reknown a question at all!!

Thank you and God Bless you

Dear Mr. Khairullin, thank you for reporting so informatively from the front lines.

A couple of questions (please choose as you wish):

- Ukrainian artillery has been targeted effectively for a long time now, has there been a reduction in shelling that is noticeable in the front line trenches?

- How often do the front line soldiers get to have freshly made meals? And do they have to travel far for this?

- What is the highest military rank that is present day to day in the front lines conducting operations? Naturally this varies according to the scale of the operation, but could you give us some idea how this works in Russian Army and if the SMO has changed how the officers implement the operational concept?

Thank you!

English is not my native language and although I speak it reasonably, I often have to use Google translate for reading substacks or making a comment. I have my questions now translated it directly into Russian from my own language so that perhaps less is lost in the translation?

I marked down a couple of your questions! Unfortunately, a tidal wave of questions has come in, so I don't think I can ask more. But there is always next time.
