Ukraine's incursion into Russia's Kursk region, dubbed the 'Kursk Kamikaze', has been a costly failure, leading to significant losses and a hardening of Moscow's position. The operation aimed to embarrass Putin, but instead, it has weakened Ukraine's defenses, irritated Western sponsors, and failed to achieve its objectives. The incursion has also led to a Russian advance in other parts of the front line, including the city of Pokrovsk, which is strategically important. Ukraine's leaders are now trying to persuade the West to disregard Moscow's red lines and allow them to use Western weapons for deeper strikes into Russian territory, but this is unlikely to succeed.
