The Kremlin is now attempting to label Ukraine's military presence in Kursk as the 'new normal', persuading Russians to accept the situation as a temporary phase. This strategy aims to solidify the Kremlin's narrative of an 'inevitable' victory in eastern Ukraine, allowing them to postpone any military retaking of the Kursk region until after they perceive a successful outcome against Ukrainian forces.
Ukraine executed a surprise attack into Russia's Kursk region on August 6, which caught Russian military units off guard and allowed Ukraine to seize approximately 386 miles of territory rapidly. Despite the momentum gained from this assault, Ukrainian forces now stand just 22 miles into the Kursk region, indicating the significant challenges ahead for both sides in the ongoing conflict.
