Russia won't relent in its invasion of Ukraine, with one of its forthcoming goals being to establish a buffer zone along the border to help protect against long-range Ukrainian strikes and cross-border raids, Russian President Vladimir Putin said. The Kremlin’s forces have recently made battlefield progress as Kyiv’s troops struggle with a severe shortage of artillery shells and exhausted front-line units after more than two years of war.
The announcement came on the eve of the 10th anniversary of Russia's seizure of Ukraine's Crimea Peninsula, which set the stage for Russia to invade its neighbor in 2022. Putin has been vague about his goals in Ukraine since Russia’s full-scale invasion of its neighbor in February 2022 floundered. But he said one of Russia’s aims now is to “create a security zone that would be quite difficult to penetrate using the foreign-made strike assets at the enemy’s disposal.
