Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy revealed in a recent address that the surprise invasion of Russia's Kursk region is aimed at establishing a 'buffer zone' between the two countries. The primary objective of this defensive operation is to weaken Russian war potential and execute counteroffensive actions. This strategic move by Ukraine is intended to disrupt Russian supply lines and complicate Moscow's cross-border offensive.
Over the weekend, Ukrainian forces successfully destroyed a bridge in the Kursk region near the village of Glushkovo, Russia. Another bridge was targeted in a separate strike, but details on its impact remain undisclosed. These strikes have had a tangible effect on Russian infrastructure, forcing Moscow to reassess its military strategy along the northeastern border with Ukraine.
