Did the USA collaborate with Russia for the recovery of Kursk oblast?
On August 24th, 2024, Ukrainian forces became the first nation to occupy Russian territory since WW2. The attack was a raid in force into Kursk oblast. The attack was proposed as a distraction to divert Russian forces away from Donbas where attritional tactics of Russian infantry was wearing down Ukrainian defences. The attack came as a complete surprise to Russian commanders. The raid developed into the occupation of a significant slice of Russian territory and the UAF had sufficient time to send in more troops and prepare defences. Even then the move was considered temporary. However, holding the ground fixed as many as 30,000 Russian troops in situ for six months so the mission was a success. Russian advances elsewhere were halted and, in a few cases, reversed. Although the small gains in Kursk had no great strategic value it had great political importance. It was a humiliation to Putin who was determined to recover it.
Ukraine was able to maintain the Kursk occupation because of high quality US intelligence which could provide real time information about Russian troop movements and artillery actions. This vital intelligence pinned the Russians down. The eyes in the skies could see every move and halt it almost instantly. For Russia to advance they needed to blind Ukraine.
In February 2025 there was an increase of Russian forces up to an estimate of 50,000 in Kursk with orders to recover the Russian lands. A counter offensive was planned.
Russia built up its forces in Kursk.
Russia needed Ukraine to go blind.
On 28th February 2025. Trump manufactured a public disagreement with President Zelensky.
Between 3rd and 5th March, using the disagreement as justification, Trump cut off supplies and intelligence to Ukraine.
On 6th March Russian forces attacked and recovered large parts of Kursk forcing Ukraine to make a tactical withdrawal.
The smoking gun.
On 27th February 2025, before Trump’s announcement, a Russian General in Kursk revealed to one of his colonels his offensive was waiting for Ukrainian surveillance to go down. The colonel revealed this to his wife, his wife told her best friend who told my source in Eastern Europe.
The weakness in this information is the timeline, but if it is to be believed, Russia knew Trump would shut down intelligence cover over Kursk before Trump’s edict on 3rd March.
Is the timeline correct?
Can the order be corroborated?
Did the Trump collaborate with Russia for the recovery of Kursk oblast?
Was this a deliberate action designed to increase pressure on Zelensky to agree to US ceasefire proposals?
Perhaps we will know when the war is over. The source is genuine, but the people in the communication chain would be at risk of losing their lives if their names became known.
Police investigators are taught not to believe in coincidences. Circumstantial evidence is relevant when enough of it is gathered to convince a reasonable person the accused is guilty.
This is not enough to convict, but it is enough to make us watch more carefully in the coming months and ask more questions. It is vital that Ukraine and Europe know who they can trust.
Slava Ukraini!

Yes one must question the evidence but it is quite compelling.
I feel that Trump is playing both sides but is not punishing Russia. Putin was never bothered about Kurst until now. So for me he knew it was an opportunity to get a victory. Trump was willing to present it to him. The whole peace process stinks, and feels like Trump and Putin are orchestrating it.
