An ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin has implied that Moscow cannot push Ukraine out of Kursk by the end of the year, despite Putin previously setting a deadline to kick them out by October.
Russia's Chief of the General Staff of the Armed Forces, Valery Gerasimov, said that all the tasks set by the country's leadership for the military in 2024 have been completed, according to the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation. He was speaking during a briefing for the military. As Ukrainian forces remain in Kursk, it is possible that driving them out was not a task for Russian forces to complete by the year's end.

The implications of Gerasimov's statement are significant as it brings into question what Russia's priorities are now in its nearly three-year long full-scale war with Ukraine. As Putin's previous statements made it seem as if reclaiming Kursk was high on Moscow's agenda, it is unclear what Russia's advances in the region mean in terms of long-term goals.
