Zelensky: Lack of long-range weapons made us think, what alternative do we have? And this led to the operation in the Kursk region
"We expected long-range weapons, they were in a small configuration. We did not have enough of these means, not very many long-range missiles and shells. And we had an understanding from our intelligence that Russia was planning to create this buffer zone. We realized that they would not stop, they made a breakthrough in the Kharkiv region. Thank God, we were able to stop them there and did not allow them to occupy Kharkiv. After that, we had signals that they could do this in the north - Sumy region, Chernihiv. For us, this would be a very serious challenge. They did not abandon these plans. And then we realized that we needed to conduct an appropriate operation. So that we, not they, would create a buffer zone here," the president noted in an interview
