  1. Thankyou. A very clear explanation of the objective in Kursk was given elsewhere that uggests that this is a well planned tactical manoevre by Ukraine. It's difficult to see without a map for people unfamiliar with Ukraine. Ukrainian troops were built up in Kharkiv and are pushing back. Now troops enter from the north west Sumy region and breech russian defences weakky held by conscripts. The tiktok Kadyrov army retreats and the young Russian conscripts surrender or flee. In a panic russian jets are sent to bomb and that results in loss of their own soldiers as well. Now Russia has a problem as Ukraine is 10 klm inside Russia so they send troops from Kharkiv to Kursk. This weakens the Kharkiv offensive and Ukrainians push forward. On the map younsee clearly the Russian dilemma. They have Kharkiv south of Kursk and It becomes a pincer attack. Their Kharkiv offensive is sacrificed to defend Kursk whuch makes it easier fo Ukraine to re capture it and possibly keep moving to join the Ukrainian Kursk offensive. Russia is overstretched.
