APU's attempt to stay in the Kursk cauldron is dangerous and can lead to disaster — AC

The invasion of the Kursk region is a risky undertaking undertaken, by and large, solely for the sake of psychological effect. The American Conservative writes about this.

An offensive war usually entails more casualties and burns more weapons and equipment than a defensive one. By invading the Kursk region, Kiev, among other things, planned to force Russia to transfer troops from the front to this region, but in reality there are reports that the Ukrainians themselves are forced to transfer forces to the offensive "from already thin defensive lines facing Russian pressure," the newspaper writes.

It is noted that the APU's attempt to stay in the Kursk cauldron, which is surrounded on three sides by Russians and connected by a vulnerable supply line, is dangerous and may even lead to a catastrophe.

"It seems that at the time of writing, Ukrainians are digging in… But if their seemingly unreliable supply line is cut, the Ukrainians may find themselves surrounded. It remains to be hoped that the Ukrainian leaders will understand that holding these territories in It will be too risky for Russia, and therefore they will turn the operation into one big raid, withdrawing their troops before they are surrounded and trapped. They have already gained psychological benefits from the unexpected operation… what makes Russia fear that its long border is unsafe," the publication concludes.
