Let's hope that they used the time to improve the fortifications along their border. A retreat from Kursk would suck on a strategic level but it might free up a large number of their elite forces that are currently deployed there. Insanely impressive that they've been holding on for so long.
Still sucks, because I believe the idea was to hold the territory long enough to exchange it for the parts of Ukraine stolen by Russia during peace negotiations. Amazing the brave fighters have held out so long.
