Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has outlined the ambitious objectives behind Kiev’s recent incursion into Russia’s Kursk region.
Describing the operation as a crucial move to establish a strategic "buffer zone" on Russian soil, Zelensky revealed that Ukraine aims to take Russian soldiers captive and inflict significant economic damage on Moscow.
The Ukrainian leader emphasised that this bold strategy is designed to weaken Russia’s military capabilities and bring the conflict closer to a "just peace." As the operation unfolds, its impact on the broader geopolitical landscape remains to be seen.
Zelenskyy says supply of new air defence systems to Ukraine is being "discussed" with allies, as further evacuations are underway in Russia's Kursk region. On 6 August, Ukrainian forces made a push into the region, seizing villages and taking hundreds of prisoners.
