On Thursday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy made his first visit along the border with Russia since Ukraine’s military launched its assault into Russia’s Kursk region. Zelenskyy met with army commanders. He has said Ukraine has no plans to occupy the area in the long-term, but he wants to create a buffer zone to block attacks on Ukraine. Zelenskyy did not cross the border into Russia. DW Correspondent Nick Connolly has been embedded with Ukrainian army personnel during their offensive in the Kursk region. He accompanied them as they headed for the town of Sudzha, just beyond the border with Russia, where Ukraine is setting up a military command post.Chapter Breakdown0:00 DW Correspondent Nick Connolly reports from the Ukraine-occupied Kursk region in Russia, where he is embedded with Ukrainian troops10:53 Robert Murrett, Military and defense analyst, Syracuse University
