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.
I suspect that the Ukra-Nazis are used to having problems pulling out.
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.
