The Kursk incursion took so many troops from the defense of the Donbas that the front lines there can no longer be held up. It has also diverted scarce artillery ammunition which the Donbas defenders now lack. The Ukrainian defense in Donbas is currently crumbling with the Russian side taking several villages per day.

There was some hope expressed that Russia would divert troops from its Donbas attack towards Kursk. But the Kursk operation is on Russian ground where the Russian army is allowed to use conscript unit to defend the country. Conscripts are not allowed to take part in the operation within Ukraine. This gives the Russian army a large reserve that it can use against the incursion.

Only someone militarily illiterate doesn't realize the Kursk offensive is Hail Mary, suicide mission.

Ukraine burns off some of its last, best troops invading territory it can't hold while the Ukrainian frontlines in Donbass deteriorate at much faster rate.

Putin on Kursk failure: Not my fault

No need to apologize Vlad; just do like Biden/Harris do regarding Afghanistan and "celebrate" the "victory".

Not being able to put away a clearly inferior opponent is worse than losing to a near equal.
Undoubtedly, people are starting to talk, and we should not be surprised if Putin retires, perhaps even defenestrates.

The 5 stages of 🇷🇺 grief over Kursk occupation

1 “This crosses critical red line”

2 “NATO bears full responsibility”

3 “The West will face terrible consequences”

4 “We remind you Russia is the world’s largest nuclear power”

5 “This is entirely meaningless non-factor”

The Kursk Pocket will go down in infamy just the ‘23 Counteroffensive debacle you were cheerleading all the way to oblivion. Neither were Putin’s fault. This is the fault of the rainbow warriors running the Pentagon.

Zelinski keft the NAZI AZOV Brigades in the Donbas and pulled most of the AFU. If he can get rid of AZOV and live to surrender, he will sacrifice all four Russian olblasts to snort coke in England and live in luxury. Ukraine rolled the dice. The Nazis will kill Zelinski and his people to include their families as this betrayal sets in.
