Andrey Gurulyov revealed that while Russia's military was forewarned about Ukraine's planned incursion into Kursk, orders from the top discouraged panic and dismissive attitudes prevailed.
The attack on August 6 was a significant strategic success for Ukraine, unexpectedly capturing nearly 400 square miles of Russian territory in just a few days.
Gurulyov criticized Russian military leadership, stating that misinformation and dishonesty contributed to failures on the battlefield and hindered true strategic planning.
Despite receiving intelligence about Ukraine's plans, Russia's military leaders were advised against taking immediate action, indicating serious issues within their command structure.
