The change in command might've played a role here as well, but I suspect Ukraine pulling their best troops and equipment to do a PR stunt in Kursk was the bigger factor.

The fact that they're still there while every front is collapsing and they're losing their best is beyond me.

Their main advantage was and is propaganda victory pieces for internal and western consumption, as long as that can be maintained it is the priority.

They don't really have a choice, they made a big spectacle out of it and now it's impossible to withdraw politically. Also, would be another signal to their sponsors that the gig is up.
