The ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine has taken a new turn, with President Volodymyr Zelenskyy claiming that Ukrainian forces have destroyed a crucial bridge in Russia’s Kursk region. This bridge was a key part of a military supply chain for the Russians, and its destruction marks a significant blow to their operations in the region.
The Kremlin has responded to this development by alleging that Ukraine used US-made rockets to carry out the attack on the bridge. This accusation adds a new layer of complexity to the already tense situation between the two countries. Additionally, Russian units are reportedly moving from occupied Ukraine into Kursk, further escalating the conflict in the region.
To provide insight and analysis on this latest development, DW News spoke to DW Correspondent Sonia Phalnikar in Kyiv, as well as military analyst Marina Miron from the War Studies Department at King’s College London. Their perspectives shed light on the strategic implications of this attack and the shifting dynamics in the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war.
As tensions continue to rise and the situation remains fluid, it is clear that both sides are taking significant actions to strengthen their positions and advance their interests in the conflict. The international community will be closely monitoring the situation in Kursk, as it has the potential to impact not only Russia and Ukraine, but also other countries and alliances in the region.
