    If anything won’t this allow Russia to mobilize more troops now that Russian territory is being attacked? I’m just a random dumbass so take this with a grain of salt but to me it seems like this incursion will be short term gains at the cost of medium-long term losses for the Ukrainians.

      Russia isn’t mobilizing more troops but they are utilizing reserves they would otherwise not have used in the war such as counter-terrorist forces, national guard, conscripts, local police, etc.

      Most of Kursk will be cleaned up by irregulars like this after the Russian airforce destroys all the heavy equipment
