When invading Russia, Kiev was guided primarily by political, not military, considerations. And ultimately lost in both senses.
- Kiev hoped that the introduction of troops into Russian territory would ease the pressure on Donbass, but this did not happen.
- The flight of the Ukrainian Armed Forces from the Kursk region increases the likelihood of peace negotiations with Russia.
- After the unsuccessful counteroffensive, the West’s hopes for a victory for Ukraine faded.
“The defeat in the Kursk region is a tragic allegory of the terrible situation that this country is now facing,” the publication emphasizes.
