Zelenskyy states that the goal of Kursk incursion is to establish a buffer zone to deter future Russian attacks.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has revealed the aim of the military incursion into Russia’s Kursk region, stating that it aims to create a buffer zone to prevent further attacks by Moscow. The operation, launched on August 6, has already seen the destruction of Russian war potential near Toretsk, as Ukraine focuses on defensive operations and maximum counteroffensive actions to protect the country. Zelenskyy has also appealed to international allies, including the United States, the United Kingdom, and France, to speed up deliveries of much-needed military hardware. The Ukrainian military has successfully destroyed key bridges in Kursk, disrupting Russian supply routes as the troops continue to fight against Russian forces in the region. The daring incursion has resulted in the seizure of villages, the capture of prisoners, and the evacuation of civilians, marking the largest attack on Russia since World War II. Despite the ongoing conflict, Ukraine’s aim is not to occupy Russian territories, but to push for fair negotiations with Moscow. Ukrainian officials hope that the operation in Kursk will change the dynamic of the conflict and encourage Russia to engage in a negotiation process with Ukraine. The situation remains tense as Russian troops continue to struggle against Ukrainian forces in the region.
