Analysts note that the offensive of the Ukrainian Armed Forces (UAF) in the Kursk region has violated all of the Kremlin's “red lines.” This is a bold move that could prove effective, as history shows, when the strategy and military successes of enemies are used against them.
The columnist writes about this The Hill Jeremy Gurevich.
This bold gambit by the Ukrainians has been compared to the operations of the Israeli army during the Yom Kippur War of 1973.
Israel was forced to retreat at the beginning of the war, but within three weeks its tanks were 100 km from Cairo and 40 km from Damascus, changing the course of the war in its favor.
Ukraine, although far from Moscow, has already shown the Russians that the war has affected their territory, and the Russian army and the Kremlin dictator Putin have failed to protect the state's borders. If Ukraine manages to hold on to the Kursk region, it will be able to exchange it in the future for Russian-occupied Ukrainian lands and destroy the myth of Putin's invincibility.
The Washington Post notes that Ukraine has violated the Kremlin's “red lines” with its offensive in the Kursk region. The Russian authorities even threatened a nuclear strike if the country's territorial integrity was threatened, but their reaction to the events in Kursk was assessed as “passive” and “muted”. Perhaps changes in military aid packages to Ukraine will allow the Ukrainian Armed Forces to consolidate their position in the Kursk region
Military expert Yigal Levin believes that the Ukrainian Armed Forces achieved a surprise effect in the Kursk region thanks to the secrecy of the preparation of the operation, which Ukraine’s Western partners did not know about.
