Ukraine's Surprise Incursion into Kursk Raises Concerns

The recent incursion by Ukraine into the Kursk region of Russia has shocked the Kremlin and exposed Russia's vulnerabilities. Ukraine claims control of the Russian town of Sudzha, which has raised speculations about cutting off Russian gas infrastructure.

The Russian military response has been slow, with inexperienced reinforcements struggling to coordinate. The incursion has revealed the weakness of Russia's remaining forces inside the country.

However, Ukraine's consolidation of a foothold in Kursk risks exposing its supply lines and becoming a strategic and political liability. The Ukrainian offensive has placed pressure on Putin's regime, with concerns about public anger, rallying cries, or continued apathy from Russians.

The surprise attack highlights the hubris of Russia's military leadership and the fragility of Putin's regime.
