Ukrainian troops continue their advance in Russia's Kursk region, challenging recent claims of Russian forces stabilizing the frontline. The Institute for the Study of War (ISW) reports that Russian command and control (C2) issues have hindered effective responses to Ukraine's incursions. Poor preparedness and overlapping directives from Vladimir Putin have contributed to the confusion within Russia's military leadership. Ukrainian forces have reportedly made gains near Slobodka-Ivanovka, Tetkino, Gordeevka, Uspenka, and Viktorovka, further destabilizing the region. The situation remains fluid as Russia struggles to regain control.
