Ukraine Targets Second Bridge in Russia’s Kursk as Buffer Zone Strategy Continues

Ukraine has struck a second bridge in Russia’s Kursk region, intensifying its strategy to establish a buffer zone amid ongoing conflict.

A second bridge spanning the River Seym in Russia’s Kursk region has reportedly been destroyed by Ukraine.

It is the second occurrence of an assault on a bridge in this area within days, as Ukraine continues to pursue its agenda.

It was reported on Friday that a bridge in the Russian town of Glushkovo had been struck.

On Sunday, Ukrainian Air Force Commander Mykola Oleshchuk shared an aerial video on Telegram showing a bridge near the Russian town of Zvannoye being destroyed by a blast. In his post, he wrote “One less bridge.”

According to him, the purpose of the attacks was to interrupt Russia’s supply routes.

Oleshchuk stated that the Air Force’s precision air strikes are still denying logistical capabilities to the enemy, but no specific date for the attack was mentioned.

The military’s incursion was praised by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy hours after the attack, and he disclosed its objectives for the first time.

During his evening address on Sunday, he commented that “in all areas, our team is performing exceptionally well.”

Our primary objective in defensive operations is to eliminate as much of Russia’s military capability and launch aggressive counter-attacks. One step towards this goal is creating a protective buffer zone within the aggressor’s territory, which we are doing with our operation in the Kursk region.

The destruction of the first bridge in Glushkovo by Pro-Kremlin military bloggers has been acknowledged, and they claim that it will have an impact on supply lines. The site is located approximately 12km (7.5 miles) to the north of Ukraine’s border.

Zvannoe is situated in the northwest direction, 8km (5 miles) away.

As per Mash, a Russian news site, the assaults destroyed all bridges in the vicinity except one. This could pose difficulty for Moscow’s efforts to reinforce troops and safely remove civilians from that region.

Kyiv has been tight-lipped about the objectives behind its sudden invasion, carried out with tanks and other heavily-armored vehicles, marking the most significant assault against Russia since World War II.

Last week, Oleksandr Syrskii, the military chief of Ukraine asserted that his troops had made progress over an area spanning 1,000 square kilometers (390 square miles) in Kursk. However, there was no means to authenticate the level of their authority on this territory outside Ukrainian sources.

The intrusion has uplifted Ukrainian morale amidst Russia’s advancement in the eastern Donetsk area of Ukraine.

Moscow asserted on Sunday that it had captured the village of Svyrydonivka, situated roughly 15km (or nine miles) away from Pokrovsk. This town serves as a vital logistics center for Ukrainian troops and various towns located throughout the eastern front.

Zelenskyy has called on Kyiv’s allies to remove the remaining limitations concerning the utilization of Western weapons against more distant Russian targets, such as Kursk. He noted that his military could hinder Moscow from advancing and causing harm if they had access to long-range capabilities.

According to Ukraine, long-range attacks on its cities and energy infrastructure have been initiated from bases located within Russia resulting in considerable destruction and casualties.

According to Serhiy Popko, the head of the municipal military administration, Moscow launched ballistic missiles at Kyiv’s capital for the third time this month on Sunday.

In the previous week, Zelenskyy revealed that Russia had initiated over 40 missiles along with 750 guided aerial bombs and a total of 200 attack drones towards Ukrainian cities as well as villages.
