In purely military terms, Ukraine's surprise incursion of Russia this month is a dubious gamble, as Moscow has not diverted forces from its advances.
The more significant potential of the invasion lies on the other front that of information, propaganda, morale, image and competing narratives.
Zelenskyy calls this the naive illusion of so-called red lines, and so far, his allies have not complained about the Kursk invasion.
Ukraine's move into Kursk highlights the inherent contradiction in Putin's propaganda, which portrays the conflict as one where a prosperous Russia is certain to prevail.
