💨 Abstract

Russia claims to have driven Ukrainian forces out of the Kursk region, just across the border in western Russia, and is continuing to establish a "security strip" in the Sumy region of Ukraine. This follows an August Ukrainian incursion intended to distract Russian forces and gain leverage in future peace talks. Russian President Vladimir Putin previously suggested creating a buffer zone in Sumy to protect against potential Ukrainian incursions.
