Oh wow! I had to look up in DuckDuckGo about Kursk; and Ukraine has indeed invaded the Russian territory proper! I thought the initial incursions were done by Ukrainian-backed anti-Kremlin Russians again, but it’s actually the Ukrainians! This actually answers the question that had been hovering in my head for the past couple of days of whether or not Ukraine could mount yet another offensive.
The Ukrainian city of Sumy is nearby as well; and Ukrainian intelligence say that they detected build up of Russian forces across the border opposite the city. It looks like not only the attack on Kursk serves to disrupt the pipeline that deliver gas to Europe, but also spoils the possible preparation of Russian forces that might attack Sumy.
