Yes it could be some or all of our speculations in the above:
- stay one step ahead
- keep Russia guessing the next step
- attack Russian troops as they move to Kursk
- attack areas where Russia reduced troops (Kharkhiv? Kherson?)
- tactical successes in Kursk: control the gas hub
embarrass Putin and his elite
morale boost for Ukraine
prove to allies that harm can be inflicted on Russia
burst the Russian 'superiority'bubble.
Maybe attack and destroy other targets (rail hubs? Bearing factory as per @sparkie )
- reduce Russian focus on other targets, Kerch etc...
Mainly a summary for myself to keep a handle on what's going on!
