Yes.

It was never about keeping Kursk; it was a distraction to thin out Russian forces and have them refocus efforts on their own territory instead of attacking Ukraine. Eventually losing it was expected.

If you read the article, the dead soldiers friends and relatives say "no".

Yes, the real question is - to whom was it worth the effort? To imperialists that play for world resource domination - maybe. For people - no. On both sides - no.
