Russia did move a few units from Battlegroup North to the Kursk area, but mostly reserves that haven't been deployed to other fronts. They didn't move a single soldier from Battlegroups South, East, West, Centre, or Dpir. So, if the plan was to get Russia to reallocate troops from these 5 other points of contact it didn't work.

I think that people are forgetting that Russian law prevents many conscripts from being used in the SMO because it is outside Russian territory, but this incursion is inside Russian territory which means those troops that were once unavailable are now free to be used and bolster existing forces.
That's what I said, between the Border Guard (Or National Guard) and the Conscript, the Russian had enough people to throw at the Ukrainian, the Ukrainian knows that, that's why the objective is not to draw people out from the frontline, rather, from what we had seen and what was reported on the Open Source, we saw Russian moving SPG, Towed Artillery and Fighter Wing to support the operation in Kursk. If they move those to Kursk, they can't be used in the Ukraine.

Also the Ukrainian is basically daring the Russian to level Kursk to expel them, that's what they were doing in Ukraine and that is the only thing that work for them so far, Putin will NOT let this go, I mean the last time a foreign power occupy Russia soil is back in WW2 when the German made it all the way 30km out of Moscow, he will basically throw everything at the Ukrainian at Kursk, which mean either Putin did what he did in Mariupol, Bakhmut and Avdiivka and level the town to flush out the Ukrainian, or they went in without do so and pitch them into an Urban Set Piece, the first one will not look good on morale for Putin, because they will have to raze a Russian city off the ground, the second one will cause significant Russian casualty. Also not good for morale.

That is the direct motive the Ukrianian have here, not sure if anything were hidden.
