Russia Establishes Large Buffer Zone on Ukraine Border

Russia Creates 275km Buffer Zone on Ukraine Border Following recent territorial gains in the Kursk region, Russia has announced the creation of a substantial buffer zone along its border with Ukraine. The zone, stretching approximately 275 kilometers, aims to enhance security and prevent further incursions. Military operations are underway in the Sumy region to support the establishment of this zone. The strategic location of the buffer zone, situated between Kursk and Sumy, is highlighted on maps included in the Al Arabiya report. The report notes that the area is of significant strategic importance to both countries. President Putin's recent visit to the region further underscores its importance in the ongoing conflict. "The Russian military is conducting combat operations in the Sumy region with the aim of establishing a security zone," stated the Al Arabiya news anchor in the video report. The establishment of this buffer zone represents a significant development in the ongoing conflict, raising questions about its long-term implications for regional stability and the potential for future escalations.
