Ukraine incursion into Russia aims to create a ‘buffer zone’
In a surprise move, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has announced that Ukraine’s recent incursion into Russia is aimed at creating a ‘buffer zone’ to protect the country from further Russian aggression. Zelenskyy stated that their primary objective is to destroy as much of the Russian war potential as possible, after Kyiv’s forces successfully destroyed a second bridge in the Kursk region.
This strategic move by Ukraine is part of an effort to disrupt Moscow’s combat operations and supply routes, with over a hundred drones targeting Russian air bases that have been used to launch aerial strikes into Ukraine throughout the conflict. By targeting these bases, Ukraine hopes to counter Russia’s war planes and gain the upper hand in the ongoing conflict.
The escalation of tensions between Ukraine and Russia raises concerns about the continued bloodshed and impact on civilians in the region. The international community is closely monitoring the situation and advocating for a diplomatic resolution to the conflict.
As the conflict continues to unfold, it is important for all parties involved to prioritize the safety and well-being of civilians and work towards a peaceful resolution that respects the sovereignty and territorial integrity of both Ukraine and Russia.
