Ukraine sabotages key bridges over the Seim River in Kursk to disrupt Russian supply routes

Over the weekend, Ukraine destroyed key bridges in the Kursk region as part of an incursion into Russia to create a buffer zone and disrupt Russian supply lines. Ukrainian forces have seized territory and aim to destroy Russian war potential. The surprise offensive has shifted the dynamics of the war and caught Russia off guard. Ukrainian President Zelenskyy revealed that the goal of the operation is to create a buffer zone in Russian territory to prevent attacks on Ukrainian towns. This comes after months of Russian offensive in eastern Ukraine and a ceasefire, with Putin now facing questions over his response to the crisis. Despite previous peace talks, the Kremlin has ruled out negotiations after what they see as a risky move by Ukraine in Kursk. Putin is visiting Azerbaijan to discuss partnership, likely as an attempt to project stability amid the ongoing conflict. The destruction of bridges in the Kursk region marks a significant escalation in the conflict and signals Ukraine’s determination to push back against Russian aggression.
