    Part of it was the Ukrainians have been more concerned with defending/taking back their own territory, then they were probably also denied the option to attack inside of Russia itself by their allies supplying them arms. So Russia has probably been getting complacent thinking that the fighting would only ever be contained within Ukraine itself and wasn’t fortifying their border as much as they should’ve. Something changed and the gloves are off now, but it’s likely due to Ukraine being given permission to attack within Russia itself.

      Apparrently the kursk region has been heavily fortified since the very beginning of the war. So either are not as effective in building defense, or they sent all the defending troopa to be massacred where ukraine was attacking before (russian controlled territories)

        The ones in Zaporozia suggest differently. So more likely it’s about sending pretty much all experienced units to the slaughterhouse.
