@Paladiesh Russia fights strategically and not for image. Putin does not interfere with a general's decision. The Russians was caught by surprise in Kursk, they thought about it and decided the first step is to stem further advance to the Kursk nuclear plant. Once that was achieved, they decided no need to divert troops from Donbass. They realised it is better to keep the Ukrainians' best divisions pinned in Kursk, unable to go forward or retreat. Meanwhile, it helped with Donbass. Now there is need to push the Ukrainians out of Kursk. They are doing that.
Earlier, see the Ukrainians were planning a counter offensive in 2023, Gen. Survokin ordered a pull back of Russian forces in Kherson across to the eastern bank of the river. It was a retreat, politically it looked bad, but Putin accepted the General's decision. Survokin then laid the defensive belt, waited and let the Ukrainians impale themselves on it. Strategically, the pull back from Kherson was needed and it paid off.
At the start, the Russian attempt at taking Kiev was under manned and the advance was spread out, so it failed. But Russia did not give up; they decide to put full forces in the Donbass. It is paying off. The west wants to freeze the conflict, Russia is not ready.
