Nah, it's a nightmare for the civilian administration, Putin doesn't give a single fuck. He might be upset about the square kilometers of land, the factories that Kursk has, or the strategic importance, but I doubt he lost sleep over the residents

I disagree, residents talk. Residents have family members around St Petersburg and Moscow that will share stories about how fucked this is. This puts Vlad in a bind

So, you're saying they need a couple of divisions of blocking troops to keep the bad news contained?

I'm only half joking, that's not even completely impossible
