Ukraine in the Kursk region has received an advantage that was not in the war before - the media
Michael Boonert, a host expert in Rand Corporation, noted that Ukraine's advantage in Kursk is that "they do not need to protect any of these cities," because they are Russian. "You are just fighting where it is profitable and retreat when it is unprofitable. And this is a really effective way of fighting," he said.
He added that in the Kursk Armed Forces can simply "take advantage of the terrain, fight the most efficient and eventually" if they need to protect their strength, equipment or pursue some other purpose. They will be able to do it without consequences, which is not happening in Ukraine. He added that in the Kursk Armed Forces can fight and defend themselves from the most favorable positions to be able to reduce fortifications. "If you are surpassed, just retreat to the next one," he said.
William Alberk, a host expert in the center of Stimson, said that Russia is still taking light territories, but with the rest of the Ukrainian speech in the Kursk region will be more difficult. He believes that it is very easy for Ukraine to retreat with battles and give way to the territory that they could never hold legally. " The return of territories in the Kursk region of the Russian Federation will have to pay a high price.
"This is a huge prompt advantage for the commander when you do not need to draw any lines on the sand," William Alberk said. According to him, when choosing a place for defense in Ukraine, the Armed Forces "looked not only at the ground". "They looked not only at the protected positions, but also at the symbolism of different villages, where there are Ukrainian citizens, where there is deep, deep roots of Ukrainian history.
