Imagine being more preoccupied with stealing someone else’s home you’ve rubble-ized than protecting your own nominal people and borders.
Putin has his priorities about where you expect them, up his hindquarters.

At this point you might as well call it the Sudzha operation. I would be surprised if a plan to proceed to Kursk even existed. Sudzha on the other hand is a town of 6000 people. I’m not sure what there is to downplay. Maybe just because people on this sub claim this is the most important frontier of the war doesn’t mean it’s true?
Yesterday’s newsfeed: “President Zelensky says there were attempts to push Ukrainian armed forces in Kursk region, but they managed to held their lines”
So now “holding the lines” seems to be the goal. After the other “tough battles” in this war, I interprete this statement this way: It’s one of those human wave battles again. UA soldiers are going to stay there and defend for as long as possible like every time. Eventually the situation becomes completely unbearable and way too many Ukrainian soldiers are wiped out, so many that you hear the lamentations in the mainstream news. Like every time. Then they withdraw and no one will be any wiser. Like every time.
There may be more dead Russians than Ukrainians but UA never had a numeric advantage in manpower.
