What diversion? Russia hasn't had to slow down it's advances in other regions at all, in fact in some cases Russia has made faster gains, because Ukraine diverted its own best troops...
It's only a morale boost to westerners observing the news as if it's a game. It doesn't help the real world situation for Ukraine or Ukrainians. That's what this was for, to signal boost to the west.
No, it's an example of said poor military coordination present in the Ukrainian command structure...
Yes it does that too.
From my understanding the losses occurred mainly from miscommunications between one group sent in to relieve another, or drone and air units with jammer units and that kind of thing. Macroscopic strategy decisions such as the Kursk incursion are not related to that. Clearly it was planned well as intelligence kept it under wraps until its execution. The execution of the defense was poorer on the eastern front such as intergroup communication problems, inadequately prepared defense lines and so on.
