The Ukrainian president said his forces are aiming “to destroy as much Russian war potential as possible.”
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Sunday spoke of his military’s ongoing incursion into Russia’s Kursk Oblast, saying his forces are working to create “a buffer zone on the territory.”
His comments followed reports earlier in the day that Ukrainian forces had destroyed a second bridge in the Kursk region. The destruction of the bridge over the Seym River near the village of Zvannoye comes just two days after Ukraine reportedly destroyed another bridge over the Seym in Kursk’s Glushkovsky district.
Earlier in the month, Ukraine launched its offensive operation in Kursk Oblast as war continues to rage between the two nations since Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered an invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. Thousands of Russians have been evacuated from both Kursk and the surrounding regions, while armed clashes intensify across southwestern Russia following Ukraine’s unexpected cross-border raid.
