Ukraine latest: Zelenskyy claims Ukrainian forces have advanced further into Kursk | DW News

Ukraine says its troops have advanced further into Russian territory, up to two kilometers in the Kursk region since early on Wednesday. Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy says his government has discussed setting up a military administration in Kursk to allow the evacuation of civilians. Interior Minister Ihor Klymenko wrote on Telegram that Kyiv is creating a buffer zone to protect its border communities from shelling.

Ukraine’s military has imposed movement restrictions in Ukraine’s Sumy region, which borders Kursk. Military authorities say this is because of intense fighting in the area, and the growing presence of Russian reconnaissance and sabotage units.

  1. Neo: I just had a little deja vu.
    Trinity: Deja vu is usually a glitch in the Matrix. It happens when they change something.

    "On 12 March 2024, Ukrainian-backed armed groups entered the territory of Belgorod and Kursk Oblasts in Russia from the territory of Ukraine."

  2. They actually managed to get a politician on the line who was fairly reasonable. Many of them just babble soundbites and ignore the questions. (Can't blame the politicians for that, that's how the game is played. It's just not something I want to watch.)

  3. Ukraine is fighting for its own survival and Russia is definitely gonna learn in the hard way because Ukrainians are warriors and they don't joke when it comes to fighting an enemy. You can as well comfirm these fact from their boxing champ. Slava Ukraine 🇺🇦

  4. Buffer zone ? 😂😂😂
    Wiithin one month senario will be change gradually. Russia is big country. Enter into Russia with gun are very easy but escae are very difficult. Run supply line by Ukraine are very difficult. Already lost to much western valuable assets.
    Russia have get great chance to rapid advance in other frontline. 7:54

  5. fun fact, if Russia uses a nuke it's like Putin would admit that Ukrain beat him… Russia is the dude that challenges you to a Judo match but hides a gun in case…

  6. Buffer Zone: The ironic part of Ukraine‘s claim of Kursk as a buffer zone, is that, historically, Moscow has wanted a buffer zone since forever, since the land between Moscow and its perceived enemies is flat. The other irony of Russia‘s desire for buffer zones is that you eventually need buffer zones for your buffer zones — and you risk spreading yourself thin to protect them. Russia spends its time protecting buffer states that are supposed to be protecting them.

  7. Ukrainian forces in Kursk are numbered hahaha Russia will now have more Frontline to built while Ukrainians Forces are now outnumbered and hardware materials are short…. Ukrainian forces is in suicide mission…

  8. Here’s something to think about for the “Sullivanians”. The most hilarious paradox.
    Ukraine wasn’t allowed to use US weapons inside Ukraine? Why? We all assumed it was because of fear of escalation. Underarming Ukraine and limiting their use was what made the attack necessary.

    Ukrainian troops inside Russia? Can anyone imagine a more significant escalation?
    According to the Russian military doctrine, an enemy within the Russian borders allows the use of nuclear warheads. The use of nuclear weapons is more likely than ever – but is hasn’t happened.

    However, Ukraine is still not allowed to use long range weapons inside Russia. At this point it cannot any longer be because of fear of escalation. So, tell us why? The only red line left is a square. The Red Square.
    Tell us the truth!

  9. Sumy region can now get a break!
    Despite Russian forces withdrawing from Sumy Oblast in April, the residents were under continual Russian shelling and airstrikes. Russian forces made continued attempts at border crossings.
    May Ukrainian Forces be safe and successful in their mission.
    Slàva Ukraini!
