Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced efforts to create a “buffer zone” in Russia’s Kursk Oblast following Ukraine’s destruction of two key bridges. The incursion aims to disrupt Russian logistics using U.S.-supplied HIMARS missiles. Zelensky emphasized the importance of weakening Russian war potential and highlighted diplomatic efforts with global partners. The ongoing offensive in Kursk and Donetsk is part of Ukraine’s broader strategy in the conflict with Russia.
