- Russia looks to have moved thousands of troops from the front lines in Ukraine to defend Kursk.
- One of Ukraine’s likely goals with the Kursk incursion was to force Russia to thin out its troops.
- But these represent only a small proportion of the forces Russia is deploying to defend the area.
Ukraine doesn’t need that land. russia cannot afford not defending that land. The moment it gets too “expensive” for Ukraine, they withdraw. But that will only happen after russia invests heavily into actually recovering their territory.
It’s like in chess when a knight is attacking two pieces at the same time. The one on defense can only choose a smaller loss.
Which is a win for Ukraine.
I mean you can’t withdraw if you get encircled
I believe the trick to avoid getting encircled is withdrawing before one gets encircled
It’s simple, just don’t get shot
