Russia probably has two options 1) move troops from Ukraine as rapidly as possible (slow given outer lines and poor logistics s) to reinforce Kursk or 2) leave troops in Ukraine and hope for the best.
The dilemma is if they do 1) they will open up an opportunity for Ukraine to breach their lines in the Ukraine and if they do 2) Russia creates the opportunity for a breach into the rear echelons within Russia itself.
There are no good choices here for Russia. Hoping the existing troops can hold in Kursk isn’t…a strategy.
My thinking on the value of Kursk matches yours. I've found most of the negative commentary on Ukraine's offensive comes from the corporate media world, and I dont believe in their military expertise, because they have none.
True. But I think it is just sheer laziness. They could have easily hired someone from war on the rocks or from CEPA or from RUSI to fill their desk. It would have allowed them to cover better and would have barely cost them anything. But they have no intention, which leads me to what you said. Coporate media. Looks like they do operate with an agenda. Sad. Freaking sad.
But let us be a little cautious, as Ukraine could merely be testing the lines on the right. I still think they need to wait for another week. A ton of equipment is still pending to be delivered. So, I am not sure.
Consider that the Russian Govt and state TV have been openly mocking TFG and have rejected whatever proposals he made re ending the war. Donaldusha owes Vova apparently bigtime, as Vova openly taunts him about. They also are spinning gold out of the straw of his threats against our neighbors north and south, and Greenland and Panama. Meanwhile, the Russians for years have been threatening ownership claims re Alaska and California, including use of the ROC for indoctrination and training of American youth to support Russia’s efforts. This has been reported by various news outlets for years. Is it about to bear fruit for Vova and his genocidal forces?

yes. this is a very acute assessment.
If they go with option 1 then they will have a week or two of the troops in transit…
