La Russia dovrà schierare più truppe a Kursk per contrattaccare – ISW

Quote:

* The Ukrainian incursion into Kursk Oblast has reportedly spoiled planned Russian offensive operations along the international border area that likely aimed to expand the area of active combat operations across a broader front in northeastern Ukraine.
* Russian forces continue to counterattack throughout the Ukrainian salient in Kursk Oblast, but the Russian military will likely have to redeploy additional elements from elsewhere in the theatre to Kursk Oblast to establish a force grouping capable of pursuing a sustained counteroffensive operation.

End of Quote.

All insightful comments which have been explained on this forum before. The one thing ISW has not highlighted is that Putin is sending in his forces in a peice meal fashion due to his ‘strategy’ of attack everywhere with everything available all at once. This does not mean he has literally no reserves left but what it does mean is whatever reserves he accummulates are never sufficient for his attacks at multiple fronts to become strategic breakthroughs.
