The governor of the Ukrainian Cousal area Oleh Hryhorov on Monday evening confirmed that Russian forces in the region conquered four border villages. According to him, Moska is trying to create a buffer zone in this part of Ukraine. According to Reuters, TASR writes about it.
Hryhorov claims that the Russian forces have taken control of the border villages of Novenka, Basivka, Veselivka and Žuravka. He confirmed the reports of Russian war bloggers who reported it in recent days.
According to the Ukrainian governorate, the fighting continues around Volodymyrivka and Bilovodiv, two villages, which the Russian Defense Ministry said on Monday that it was conquered by Russian forces. “The enemy continues to try to proceed to create a so -called ‘buffer zone’,” wrote the governor on Facebook. According to him, Ukrainian forces “have the situation under control and precise shooting cause damage to the enemy.” Russian President Vladimir Putin also informed about the intention of creating a buffer zone along the border with Ukraine last week.
Reuters recalls that The Supply area borders on the Russian Kursk area, into which the Ukrainian forces penetrated last year and occupied hundreds of square kilometers. Moscow almost completely pushed them out this year and advanced across the Ukrainian border.
