Firstly, this ridiculous counter-attack has been stopped already by the Russian forces. Ukrainians and foreign mercenaries have been destroyed almost completely (1000+ dead). Russian army are liberating remaining villages captured previously by Ukrainian occupiers. It's already clear that this pathetic offensive won't reach the Kursk nuclear powerplant neither will it reach the city of Kursk.
I see that the defenders of the “Russian world” in other states have become dejected and quiet, because their forecast is not coming true. During the first ten days of the offensive, the Ukrainian Armed Forces “liberated” over 80 settlements with a territory of about 1,200 square kilometers of the Kursk region of the Russian Federation and the main one of them was the city of Sudzha, one of the former centers of the Ukrainian Cossacks. All these territories are inhabited by ethnic Ukrainians, so the population communicates with Ukrainian soldiers in Ukrainian and does not offer any resistance.
During the offensive, the Ukrainian Armed Forces captured over 2,000 Russian troops, and now on the left flank of this offensive, the Russians are in a catastrophic situation, since the Ukrainian Armed Forces are destroying the second of three bridges across the Seim River and a significant group of Russians will then be completely surrounded. The Kremlin could not get over the shock for a long time, and then they pretended to their population that such an offensive by the Ukrainians was insignificant, and now it is a little too late for them.

But thanks to the Internet, and despite the fact that YouTube channels have already been turned off in Russia, the ruble fell sharply against the backdrop of the Ukrainian offensive, and the entire Russian economy is heading in the same direction.
