Any resource sent by Russia to defend this region is one less resource being used in more important areas of the battlefield, that’s reason enough to take it when the cracks were discovered.
Absolutely! The whole narrative has already changed. I think the slow and confused response from Russia as they are struggling to find resources to stop this incursion is what speaks the loudest.
… but, at some point they will find those resources. If there is no progress anywhere inspite of this?
They hope Putin will overreact and send “too many” troops there and then quickly retreat with minimal losses.
Apparently, the Ukrainians are surprised how far they made it, too. So maybe they hoped for a small distraction, got whatever this is and now are just winging it.
You don’t know what their plans are or what they “hoped” for. The truth it, Russia is sending missiles on Kharkhiv from Kursk. If nothing else, making it harder for Russians to shoot onto Ukrainian territory is a win in and of itself.
