The offensive of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the Kursk region, according to German military experts, could lead to long-term failures for Ukraine.
Short-term successes may turn into defeats , since the expansion of the front is beneficial to Russia, which has greater resources.
It is unlikely that Ukraine will be able to hold the positions it has gained due to logistical difficulties and a shortage of infantry. And Kiev’s hopes for the withdrawal of Russian troops from Donbas are unlikely, which makes the current operation very risky.

The fact that Himars missile launchers were used indicates that the advance was coordinated with the USA. Normally, the target coordinates are always agreed with the Americans beforehand.

Ukraine could look like an unreliable go-getter. Berlin and Washington would reduce their support.

I didn't expect more from the US. Yes, you are absolutely allowed to use our missle launchers to attack Russian territory, please do so! What you failed? We won't support you anymore.
