Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy confirmed Sunday his intent to establish a "buffer zone" in his country's conflict with Russia through the invasion of Kursk Oblast.
"This includes creating a buffer zone on the aggressor’s territory – our operation in the Kursk region," Zelenskyy continued. Kyle Schmidbauer is a Production Assistant at Fox News Digital.

Ukrainian forces destroyed one bridge in the region this weekend and struck a second in a bid to disrupt Russian supply lines. Pro-Kremlin war bloggers have since acknowledged that the former strike, which targeted a bridge on the Seim River near the village of Glushkovo, Russia, was successful. The location and efficacy of the second attack were not specified as of Sunday morning.
