Ukraine’s invading troops have destroyed a second bridge in Kursk, as president Volodymyr Zelensky said Kyiv aimed to create a “buffer zone” with its incursion into Russian territory.
Giving the clearest indication yet of Kyiv’s aims since troops and tanks poured across the border into Russia nearly a fortnight ago, the president suggested that Ukraine hoped to drain Vladimir Putin’s attacking capabilities with its attack on Russian soil.
Speaking in his nightly address, Mr Zelensky said: “It is now our primary task in defensive operations overall to destroy as much Russian war potential as possible and conduct maximum counteroffensive actions.”
He added: “This includes creating a buffer zone on the aggressor’s territory – our operation in the Kursk region.”
