  1. The UA doesn't '"control" that area of Kursk - they are scattered across it! Russia is not 'advancing' across the eastern frontline as the objective is 'the demilitarisation of Ukraine' not territorial gain. What has changed since the first months of this year, is that Russia has increased the demilitarisation rate of UA troops from 600-800 per day (Zaluzhny stated the UA needed 20,000 new troops per month just to maintain numbers), to 1,700 - 2,100 troops per day. That's 60,000 per month! Another 20% has been added to this by the Kursk incursion (350-400/day). The UA will collapse soon! The funds allocated by Kiev for building defences in many areas were pocketed by local commanders. Today's briefing for military commanders at the Kremlin: "Since the beginning of hostilities in Kursk region, the AFU losses amounted to more than 8,900 troops, 80 tanks, 38 infantry fighting vehicles, 70 armoured personnel carriers, 549 armoured fighting vehicles, 261 motor vehicles, 65 artillery guns, 19 multiple-launch rocket system launchers, including six of HIMARS system and two of MLRS system, seven SAM launchers, two transport-loading vehicles, 14 electronic warfare stations, seven counter-battery radars, one air defence radar, six engineering vehicles, including two counter-obstacle vehicles and one UR-77 mine clearing vehicle."
