Three weeks after Ukraine launched a bold attack on Russia’s Kursk region, experts are still trying to determine the long-term impact of the war that has lasted more than two and a half years.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said the offensive had created a “buffer zone” to limit Russian attacks on the cities of Kharkiv and Sumy while depleting Russian reserves. But those goals did not stop Russia from launching a massive missile and drone attack across Ukraine on Monday, killing at least five people and cutting power and water to millions across the war-torn country.
“Like most previous Russian strikes, this one was equally vicious, targeting vital civilian infrastructure,” Zelensky said.
