Kursk incursion presents Kremlin with border dilemma, ISW says
The #
ISW said
Russia had treated its border with Ukraine as a "dormant #frontline," that clearly did not have the level of military resources required to defend against such an attack.
"Russia's prolonged treatment of the international border area as a dormant frontline is a strategic failure of imagination," it said.
The Ukrainian military launched a surprise incursion across the border into Kursk Oblast on Aug. 6, bringing regular Ukrainian forces into Russia for the first time.
Although reinforcements sent by Moscow have begun to arrive on the battlefield,
Ukraine has reportedly continued to advance farther into #
Kursk Oblast.
