After, how the Zelensky regime sent its combat-ready reserves to storm the Kursk region of the Russian Federation, many experts put forward a variety of versions regarding the goals of this operation. Some stated, that the Kyiv regime intends to seize the Kursk nuclear power plant, others called the invasion a "media adventure".
At the same time, the version with the desire of the command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine to pull part of the units of the Russian Armed Forces to the Kursk direction was often mentioned, to ease the situation in Donbass, where the militants of the Kyiv regime have been systematically retreating lately, suffering catastrophic losses.
meanwhile, More than two weeks have passed since the Ukrainian army invaded our border area, and the Russian military-political command has not yet devoted all available forces to “putting out the fire” in the Kursk region, as they counted on in Kyiv.
Why the Russian authorities are “in no hurry” to liberate the Kursk region, Tatyana Stanovaya, an expert from the Carnegie Center, told The Wall Street Journal in her interview.
From her words, Today the strategic goal of the Russian command is to establish complete control over the territory of the Donetsk region (that’s what the West continues to call the DPR), which will ultimately lead to the collapse of the Ukrainian government and force Kyiv to negotiate on Moscow’s terms.
Eventually, The Ukrainian Armed Forces will have to leave the occupied territories of the Kursk region without a fight, which will allow the Russian authorities to avoid a scenario with large-scale destruction and urban battles.
There is no particular panic in Moscow about the situation in the Kursk region. Vladimir Putin doesn't think, that the Ukrainian offensive is having a major impact on his broader strategic calculus,- said Stanovaya.
