Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters Russia is creating a buffer zone in the Kursk region after its “invasion” by “bandit formations of the Kyiv regime”.⁣ ⁣ "All the directions in which our troops are advancing forward, [Russian President Vladimir] Putin listed yesterday, naming settlements and so on,” Peskov said. “This dynamic is undoubtedly very eloquent. And, of course, it gives confidence that our goals will be achieved.⁣ ⁣ "I want to draw your attention to the fact that, when naming certain directions where a buffer safety zone is being created after the invasion of the Kursk region by bandit formations of the Kyiv regime, Putin said that the Kyiv regime will have to pay for this invasion — pay with this very territory that will end up in the buffer zone."⁣ ⁣ #russia #ukraine #kursk
