More than one week into Ukraine’s daring advance into Russian territory, Kyiv has publicly acknowledged the incursion and divulged the intention behind it.
“It is now our primary task in defensive operations overall: to destroy as much Russian war potential as possible and conduct maximum counteroffensive actions,” said Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky. Achieving that objective now involves “creating a buffer zone on the aggressor’s territory.” At the very least, all operations that “inflict losses” on the Russian military and “their military-industrial complex” help bring a “just end to this aggression.”
