I'm sad that more death is coming but also happy that Russia is this threatened despite the US Election outcome.

If they were confident then they would just wait for Trump to enter office.

I think that it relates to bargaining power. Right nowthe only leverage that the Ukrainians have to negotiate against giving up territory is to trade Kursk back. If a negotiation is forced by the new US government, the Russians want that leverage gone first, so that they can negotiate to keep held territory.

No offense to Ukraine but the territory occupied by either side isn't exactly equal or comparable.

I think it could do more with European Allies vowing support unless it ends soon.

yeah, you could be right.
