There are not enough resources in the Russian Federation: tens of thousands of soldiers are needed to displace defense forces from Kursk - AR

The publication notes that while Putin is afraid of internal stabilization, Ukrainian troops destroy logistics in the Kursk region and use the Seimas to create a buffer zone. Russia lacks resources for the complete displacement of defense forces from the Kursk region - for this purpose the Russian Armed Forces would need to attract 10 thousand people. Therefore, the enemy is now focused on restraining the further promotion of Ukrainian troops, writes Associated Press.

In addition, Ukraine put "a dead end of" Russian military, destroying bridges across the Seimas River. This destroyed the logistics of some Russian units and enabled Ukrainian troops to use the river to create a buffer zone. "I expect that Ukrainians will find some more narrow places for Russian logistics and infrastructure, not only bridges, and will be taken under control," said Nico Langa, senior researcher at the Washington Center for Analysis of European Policy.

The publication notes that the border breakthrough in the Kursk region "Ukraine disgraced the Kremlin and changed the battlefield". At the same time, the "distraction" of some of the most capable forces of the country from the East is an "adventure" for Kiev. "The Russian system is very hierarchical and rigid, so they always need a considerable time to adapt to a new situation," Nico Langh added. However, the Russian President Vladimir Putin does not want to call more reservists.
