Up until this weekend, the western reaches of the Seym River, a meandering waterway flowing west across the Kursk region into Ukraine, was spanned by three low, two-lane, concrete-and-asphalt bridges that served road traffic for the southern Russian territory.
As of August 20, however, those three bridges are now impassable, partially destroyed by a series of Ukrainian attacks that pose serious problems for Russian forces struggling to contain Ukraine’s two-week-old expanding invasion of Russia.
The goal of the effort — which has stunned Russia, surprised the West, and possibly rewritten the narrative of the entire war — remains uncertain, although President Volodymyr Zelenskiy signaled that at least one of the aims is to create a buffer zone.
