Ukraine's incursion into Kursk has jolted an increasingly apathetic set of Western allies back to attention while bringing the war to Russia in a dramatic fashion.
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said he intends the action to create a buffer zone in the Kursk region as part of a wider goal of limiting Russia's war capabilities.
Ukraine has already shown signs of digging in, setting up a HQ in the region and saying it's destroyed several bridges that are key for Russian supply lines.
This raises the stakes and may result in them committing beyond what is prudent, as they invite further risks to their already stretched forces.
