Ukraine’s 2024 infiltration in the Kursk region provided necessary relief to the war of war to the country and its people. Ukrainian forces made significant progress in Russia, attacking an under-defined and unpredited part of the Russian front line.
Putin recently stated that Russian forces surrounded Ukrainian forces mainly, although Ukraine rejected it. Despite the validity of the statement, it speaks of both sides for the importance attached to the fight.
This issue throws light on a particular problem for Russian leadership. Russia has tried his best to frame its so -called “special military operation” in Ukraine as a success. An example is Russia’s formal attachment to four Ukrainian regions in 2022, despite not being near the region at that time.
Any perception of Ukraine’s invasion in the form of failure is a non-starter for a Russian government that is concerned about the domestic situation.
However, Ukraine has a Russian region, however, leads to questions about the success of war in Russia. Ukraine will undoubtedly seek the return of the Ukrainian region, in return for abandoning any Russian region seized during the war.
Putin is following the Russian playbook to interact with strength. Russia will not interact in good faith until Ukraine maintains cushion.
While Kursk is the most prominent area of Russia’s concern, there are other situations that will become important in the future as Putin wants to improve Russia’s conversation status.
It is a lesson that Trump will learn soon, despite any and all efforts that he or his administration has created to frame things positively.
