Ukraine's Offensive in Kursk: Creating a Buffer Zone and Destroying Russian War Potential

Ukraine's ongoing offensive in Russia's Kursk region aims to create a buffer zone to prevent further attacks from Russia and destroy its war potential. The Ukrainian air defense has successfully repelled an attack by 11 Russian drones, destroying them all.

Ukraine has also destroyed a strategic bridge in Kursk, disrupting Russian supply routes. President Zelensky expressed gratitude to the armed forces and called for faster weapons deliveries from allies.

He stated that the goal of the offensive is to create a buffer zone and destroy as much Russian war potential as possible. The offensive has resulted in the capture of over 150 Russian prisoners on some days.

In response, Russia denies talks on halting strikes and launches new air attacks. The planned cap on Ukraine aid by the German government faces criticism from politicians.

The British government stands by its use of weapons in Russia. Ukraine announces planned power outages starting this week due to increased energy consumption.
