The Defense Ministry earlier reported that Russian tank units had entered Dnepropetrovsk Region
Russia’s recent advance into Ukraine’s Dnepropetrovsk Region is part of the push by Moscow to establish a “buffer zone” on the front line, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov has said.
On Sunday, the Russian Ministry of Defense announced that the 90th Armored Division had reached the western border of the Donetsk People’s Republic and continued its offensive into the neighboring territory. The next day, it reported new territorial gains in the area, without providing details.
On Monday, Peskov confirmed that the recent advance was aimed at establishing a “buffer zone” on the front line. “It is one of the goals, of course, but if we talk about the nuances of the military actions themselves, then your questions should be addressed to the Defense Ministry,” the spokesman said.
The intention to create a “buffer zone” was announced by Russian President Vladimir Putin late last month. He delivered his remarks amid recurring Ukrainian drone and artillery strikes targeting civilians in Donbass, as well as Kursk, Belgorod, and Bryansk regions.
