William Alberque, a warfare expert at the Stimson Center, noted that Russia is taking back 'the easy parts to take back,' implying that future efforts will be substantially more challenging.
The Institute for the Study of War reported that Russia has reclaimed approximately 46% of the territory that Ukraine previously controlled in Kursk, based on visual data.
Matthew Savill emphasized that, thus far, Russia's progress has only involved 'the easier parts,' suggesting a more arduous task lies ahead for them to reclaim larger areas.
Ukrainian forces have a strategic edge, with the flexibility to choose their defensive positions, which is a vital advantage not as freely available to Russian troops.
