In the Russian Federation Bad Command and Management: The Armed Forces are still moving in the Kursk region - ISW (video)

About it reports "Institute of War Study" in the summary of August 12. "Russian guidance bloggers stated on August 11 that Ukrainian offensive activity decreased in the Kursk region; however, known with the Kremlin militarycock refuted these statements on August 12, noting that the Russian forces are far from stabilizing the situation, partly due to bad command and management (C2. ) ", - the message reads.

According to ISW estimates, the C2 structure is confused in the Russian troops, which did not allow to effectively resist the invasion of Ukraine into the Kursk region. This is partly due to poor preparation, but also with the fact that the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin gave instructions to various departments, such as the special services and the Ministry of Defense, American analysts say.

"The Ukrainian forces, as reported, have begun new invasions into the western part of the Kursk region in the area of ​​Slobidka-Ivanivka, Totkino, Gordiivka, Uspenka and Viktorivka," the message reads. According to the former director of the British Analytical Center, Michael Clark, the emergence of Ukrainian troops in the Kursk region is explained by the fact that the Ukrainian command is trying to change the narrative that Ukraine is slowly losing the war.

"Pressure all over the front is put on the Armed Forces. Years, Ukrainians are not radical, but the impression is that Ukraine has started to change this offensive. - To create an enclave within Russia, where the Russians would have to send troops from other fronts Important, "Clark said. According to him, the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation will turn away some of their best units from other areas.

At the same time, the pressure on Ukrainian positions will be reduced if the "enclave or pocket" in the Kursk region will be able to keep - several weeks or months. The analyst does not think that the territories near Kursk will be able to keep longer. Recall that the ISW told how the invasion of the Kursk region of the Russian Federation can change the war. It was also reported that, according to The Telegraph, the United Kingdom has banned Ukraine with Storm Shadow rockets in the Kursk region.
