Although the Ukrainian incursion into Kursk proved difficult for Putin and Russian military commanders, Russian officials now cite it as one of Kiev's biggest tactical mistakes of the war.
According to the Anna Science and Technology News Agency's policy group, Russian President Vladimir Putin, who is in Vladivostok to participate in the 9th Eastern Economic Forum, said about Ukraine's incursion into the Kursk province on Russian territory that the attack was aimed at “slowing down Russia's advance.” “It has been carried out in Donbass, but this attack failed because Ukraine simply weakened its forces on other fronts.”
Putin said Kiev had weakened itself by transferring its relatively large and well-trained units to Russia, allowing Moscow to accelerate its offensive in eastern Ukraine.
US intelligence agencies believe that Moscow is more inclined to see Trump win the November election because he is less committed to supporting Ukraine in its war with Russia.
Putin considered the American presidential election to be the choice of the American people, but he immediately said that just as Joe Biden advised his supporters to support Harris, Moscow will also support him.
Explaining his view of Kamala Harris, he said: “She has such an infectious laugh that makes it seem like everything is fine and under control.”
