630 thousand dead or wounded Russians.

I mean, it's definitely a good start.

I blame ourselves, we should have given strike authorization against Russian soil a year ago.

This is very massive losses for Russia, 93 Vehicles and 73 artillery is more than 3 times average! 11 Tanks is allegedly a whole weeks supply.
And the plane alone is an SU30 worth 50 million USD.
And of course the 1270 personnel which although it's become pretty "normal" for Russia now, is still insane and still almost twice the average for the war.

I wonder if this has to do with Russia's push to retake Kursk, Russia. Particularly if they are doing it with less experienced personel, leaving the good ones in Donetsk, Ukraine.

Yes it looks suspiciously like that may have something to do with it.
But last I heard they were pushing pretty hard in Kherson, at the same time they continued pushing in Donetsk, so I think it's more an overall attempt to "punish" Ukraine, than just trying to take back occupied territory in Kursk.
Obviously the Russian strategy from the start was to try to overwhelm Ukraine, then they shifted to a strategy of trying to wear them down. I'm honestly not sure the Russian even know what they are doing at this point, whatever they are trying, it seems like they are wearing themselves down more than they are Ukraine.

Ukraine was probably trying to bait Russia, and it seems to have worked, and it's kind of funny, because it reminds me of how Harris baited Trump at the debate. The idiots can't help themselves, they fall for it even when they know they shouldn't.

Zelenskyj just confirmed that Russia has indeed initiated a counteroffensive in Kursk.
He even states it's going according to what they planned.
According to DR Denmark.
