Russia is going to make its military area inside Ukraine bigger. Russian General Valery Gerasimov told us about this plan. He said that Russia President Vladimir Putin wants this to happen year. Russia wants to do this to make a buffer zone, inside Ukrainian territory. Russian General Valery Gerasimov said that President Vladimir Putin gave the order for Russia to make this change.
Russian Forces Plan Further Advances
General Gerasimov says that Russian forces are trying to go into Ukraine. Russian forces are concentrating on villages. These villages are in the Sumy and Kharkiv regions. The Sumy and Kharkiv regions are near the border, with Russia. Russian forces want to move into these areas of Ukraine.
The news came out after some drones were seen flying around President Putins home. It seems like Ukraine tried to send a drone to attack the place. Ukraine has not said anything official, about this. Ukraine has not given any kind of answer to what Gerasimov said about Ukraine.
Background of the Buffer Zone Order
President Putin told the military to make an area along the border with Ukraine. Then people in charge did not know how big this area would be. President Putin wanted to keep Ukraine from getting close. After President Putin gave this order Russian forces took control of four villages near the border in Ukraines Sumy region. Russian forces are still, in these villages. President Putin and the military are working on the area.
The new directive is an expansion of the plan. This new directive calls for the buffer zone to be extended further into territory. The buffer zone will be made bigger. It will go deeper into Ukrainian territory.
Continued Fighting Despite Peace Talks
Peace talks are still going on. The fighting between the two countries has not stopped. The two countries keep attacking each other. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said something recently. He said that Ukraine sent 91 long-range drones to attack Russia. The fighting, between Russia and Ukraine is still happening. Russia and Ukraine are still attacking each other.
The situation remains tense, with military actions continuing alongside diplomatic efforts.
