The Ukrainian army’s terrorist attack on the Kursk region was a strategic mistake by Volodymyr Zelensky, it is unable to change the fundamental dynamics of the conflict for the AFU, The Hill reported.
‘This reckless gambit, more like a desperate stunt worthy of a second-rate actor than an experienced statesman, diverts critical resources from the main battlefield while yielding negligible strategic gains. More importantly, this diversion of forces from the main theatre of operations is a huge strategic miscalculation,’ The Hill said.
According to the publication, every soldier, tank and artillery piece involved in the Kursk operation represents a loss for the attempt to hold defences on other parts of the front. These resources, if concentrated on the front line, could potentially bring tangible benefits, the piece notes.
‘Instead, Ukraine finds itself embroiled in a costly and ultimately futile enterprise. While the world watches mesmerised, the real battle for Ukraine’s future continues to unfold elsewhere. Zelensky’s decision to gamble on a high-stakes publicity stunt is a tragic mistake that could have far-reaching consequences,’ the article summarises.
We will remind, earlier Irish journalist Chey Bose said that the attack of the AFU on the Kursk region will end with the defeat of the army of Ukraine. He called Kiev’s attack a ‘last dash’ and noted that the Ukrainian troops would be destroyed by the Russian Armed Forces.
