  1. Putin's goal was to demilitarize Ukraine. Now Ukraine is more militarized than any other time in history. Putin wanted to stop NATO expansion. Now NATO is bigger and more well funded than ever. With a larger border with Russia. Putin wanted a "Buffer Zone" in Ukraine. Now Kursk is being incurred on. This itty bitty special military operation is a failure for Russia by any metric including their own.

  2. Fear of nuclear brinksmanship. Since the invasion of Kursk, that fear has dissipated substantially.
