Ukraine is also losing more and more territory in Kursk by the day, as they had to send some of the "elite brigades" that took part in the initial Kursk gamble back to the Eastern front to prevent complete collapse under Russian attack, and replaced them with a bunch of inexperienced brigades who are incapable of holding territory in Kursk.
Kursk was a monumental blunder on the part of Ukraine in my opinion. It pulled a ton of resources away from the main front that was already buckling, and ultimately failed to achieve anything strategic. Now, Ukraine isn't even able to pull out of Kursk politically because it would be an admission that the whole ploy failed. So, they're stuck feeding troops and scarce resources into this debacle while their main front collapses.
