President Putin and his officials seemed unprepared for Ukraine’s surprise attack, which took substantial territory and showcased the effectiveness of Ukraine’s military strategy amid the ongoing war.
Oleksandr Syrskii reported substantial Ukrainian control in Russia's Kursk region, with nearly 1,000 square kilometers claimed in six days, reflecting an effective military response to Russian invasion.
Analysts noted that the incursion compared favorably to Russia's previous attempts to advance in Kharkiv, showing a strategic shift and increased Ukrainian capabilities on the battlefield.
The Russian Ministry of Defence's confusion over the nature of the incursion, initially mischaracterized, highlights the lack of readiness among Russian forces to address Ukraine's tactical maneuvering.
