According to the newspaper, there were fears that the thousands of troops Ukraine has deployed to Russia's Kursk region since August have led to shortages in other areas. However, according to the military official, analysts believe that Ukraine can continue fighting inside Russia for several months before the Russians can organize a response.
According to a Pentagon official, the Ukrainians have been able to resupply troops on Russian territory, but the Russians, due to poor coordination and planning, “have significant logistical problems in terms of redeploying troops and organizing” for the offensive
“So far there has been nothing to indicate to me that they are ready to make a serious attempt to retake Kursk, and I don't think they will be able to do so in the near future,” he said.
