Russian officials have been quoted as saying the operation near the town of Glushkovo has cut off part of the local district.
The bridge was used by the Kremlin to supply its troops and its destruction could hamper their efforts.
President Volodymyr Zelensky said Ukrainian troops were strengthening their positions in Kursk, and called the captured territories an exchange fund, implying they could be swapped for Ukrainian regions occupied by Moscow.

The Republic of Kursk has the right to defend itself from Russian aggression

Exposing Putin's true character: "We will restore the greatest territory of the time of Peter the Great." "All territories inhabited by Slavic peoples belong to Russia." "The independence of Ukraine and Kazakhstan is a temporary gift from Russia." His mentality is exactly like Hitler's.

It is shocking how weak Russia is. This conflict is going on for years and now Ukraine is attacking russian territories. Most of the world was in the belief that Russia is a military "superpower".

When Ruzzia says they destroyed 5 Ukrainian drones with air defences, we know that means Ruzzia lost another 5 S-400 systems 🤣😂🤣

"According to Russian defense ministry" is a punchline, not news.

Extremely humiliating for Putin and Russia

Ukraine isn't keeping what it's taken, so it's a buffer zone they want. Russian artillery and spotters will be much further back from the Ukrainian positions. They'd have to use more aircraft for intelligence, but using more aircraft increases aircraft loses. Satellites may help Russia but can't destroy targets with satellites. All an embarrassment for Putin.

Let’s not forget that Napoleon and Hitler was once stood outside Moscow. Invading Russia is easy but keep the invaded territory is impossible.

Interrupting the guest is a very bad look. Amateurs.

For obvious reasons I wish Ukraine was exactly like my town. 💔💔💔

Who wrote "SNAP" on the bridge? 😂

Ukraine won't need to negotiate Puti. Will be taken out by his own

What is curious is the silence about the attitude of the Russian military in Bucha and the difference with the official Ukrainian military in Kursk. As well as the silence about the attitude of the Kadyrovites towards the Russian soldiers on the front line of the conflict. Enough tolerance for violations of the UN Charter and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights!
