The Kursk Operation Reveals the Vulnerability of the Putin Regime — Media.

The operation in the Kursk region changed the course of the war with Russia and alleviated the doubts of allies. Ukraine can involve 3,000 Russian soldiers in the "cauldron", who, being captured, can become valuable currency for exchange for Ukrainian prisoners of war held in Russia, reports The Times, citing journalist Edward Lucas, who specializes in European security and transatlantic relations.

A standard feature of the Russian regime is the inability to make the right decisions due to its isolation and inability to respond to crises. Concealing bad news from the leadership is the key to success in Russian organizations.

"No one dared to tell Putin before the full-scale invasion in 2022 that Ukraine would fight. It can be said that no one fully and timely declared how much the regime in Kiev, which he called 'Nazi puppet', is harming Russia now," notes Lucas.

The Putin regime becomes vulnerable when faced with a flexible, innovative opponent. Ukraine strikes at the Russian regime, and lifting restrictions on the use of Western long-range weapons in Russia would strengthen the role of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
