"At most, we controlled about 1,376 square kilometres (531 square miles), now of course this territory is smaller. The enemy is increasing its counterattacks," the source said.

"Now we control approximately 800 square kilometres (309 square miles). We will hold this territory for as long as is militarily appropriate."

Every Russian soldier taking back Kursk, is a Russian soldier that is not taking over Ukraine!

True, but let’s also not discount that holding Kursk thins Ukrainian lines elsewhere. I still think it’s worth it, but there is a huge shortage of soldiers on Ukraine’s side.
