During a meeting with the military leadership, the Russian dictator Vladimir Putin<\/strong> said that Russia allegedly needs to create a so-called \u00absecurity zone<\/strong>\u00bb along the border with Ukraine in the area of responsibility of the \u00abNorth\u00bb group.<\/p>\n According to him, this is to ensure the \u00abprotection of Russian territories\u00bb, but in fact the statement means an attempt to expand the area of control<\/strong> to the border areas of Ukraine - in particular Kharkiv, Sumy and Chernihiv regions<\/strong>.<\/p>\n The Kremlin's official theses on the \u00absecurity zone\u00bb have appeared repeatedly throughout the year, but the current statement by the Russian leader directly signals a plan for escalation and official legitimisation of occupation intentions<\/strong> under the guise of \u00abborder protection\u00bb.<\/p>\n Analysts note that such rhetoric is intended to prepare the Russian audience for new offensive attempts in the north.<\/p>\n During his speech, the Russian leader also repeated the manipulative thesis, calling the situation on the frontline \u00aba tragedy for the Ukrainian people<\/strong>\u00bb. In 2024-2025, Russia repeatedly attempted breakthroughs in the northern direction, mainly in the Kharkiv region. In May 2025, Moscow publicly declared the need to \u00abdemilitarise\u00bb Ukraine's border strip - now this thesis has been transformed into a \u00absecurity zone\u00bb formula.<\/p>\n Ukraine emphasises that such statements are violation of international law<\/strong> and an attempt to justify new offensive actions.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" \u041f\u0443\u0442\u0456\u043d \u0437\u0430\u044f\u0432\u0438\u0432 \u043f\u0440\u043e \u043d\u0435\u043e\u0431\u0445\u0456\u0434\u043d\u0456\u0441\u0442\u044c \u0441\u0442\u0432\u043e\u0440\u0435\u043d\u043d\u044f \u00ab\u0437\u043e\u043d\u0438 \u0431\u0435\u0437\u043f\u0435\u043a\u0438\u00bb \u0432\u0437\u0434\u043e\u0432\u0436 \u043a\u043e\u0440\u0434\u043e\u043d\u0443 \u0437 \u0423\u043a\u0440\u0430\u0457\u043d\u043e\u044e \u041f\u0456\u0434 \u0447\u0430\u0441 \u043d\u0430\u0440\u0430\u0434\u0438 \u0437 \u0432\u0456\u0439\u0441\u044c\u043a\u043e\u0432\u0438\u043c \u043a\u0435\u0440\u0456\u0432\u043d\u0438\u0446\u0442\u0432\u043e\u043c \u0440\u043e\u0441\u0456\u0439\u0441\u044c\u043a\u0438\u0439 \u0434\u0438\u043a\u0442\u0430\u0442\u043e\u0440 \u0432\u043e\u043b\u043e\u0434\u0438\u043c\u0438\u0440 \u043f\u0443\u0442\u0456\u043d \u0437\u0430\u044f\u0432\u0438\u0432, \u0449\u043e \u0440\u043e\u0441\u0456\u0457 \u043d\u0456\u0431\u0438\u0442\u043e \u043d\u0435\u043e\u0431\u0445\u0456\u0434\u043d\u043e \u0441\u0442\u0432\u043e\u0440\u0438\u0442\u0438 \u0442\u0430\u043a \u0437\u0432\u0430\u043d\u0443 \u00ab\u0437\u043e\u043d\u0443 \u0431\u0435\u0437\u043f\u0435\u043a\u0438\u00bb \u0432\u0437\u0434\u043e\u0432\u0436 \u043a\u043e\u0440\u0434\u043e\u043d\u0443 \u0437 \u0423\u043a\u0440\u0430\u0457\u043d\u043e\u044e \u0432 \u0440\u0430\u0439\u043e\u043d\u0456 \u0432\u0456\u0434\u043f\u043e\u0432\u0456\u0434\u0430\u043b\u044c\u043d\u043e\u0441\u0442\u0456 \u0443\u0433\u0440\u0443\u043f\u043e\u0432\u0430\u043d\u043d\u044f \u00ab\u041f\u0456\u0432\u043d\u0456\u0447\u00bb. \u0417\u0430 \u0439\u043e\u0433\u043e \u0441\u043b\u043e\u0432\u0430\u043c\u0438, \u0446\u0435 \u043c\u0430\u0454 \u0437\u0430\u0431\u0435\u0437\u043f\u0435\u0447\u0438\u0442\u0438 \u00ab\u0437\u0430\u0445\u0438\u0441\u0442 \u0440\u043e\u0441\u0456\u0439\u0441\u044c\u043a\u0438\u0445 \u0442\u0435\u0440\u0438\u0442\u043e\u0440\u0456\u0439\u00bb, \u043e\u0434\u043d\u0430\u043a \u0444\u0430\u043a\u0442\u0438\u0447\u043d\u043e \u0437\u0430\u044f\u0432\u0430 \u043e\u0437\u043d\u0430\u0447\u0430\u0454 \u0441\u043f\u0440\u043e\u0431\u0443 \u0440\u043e\u0437\u0448\u0438\u0440\u0438\u0442\u0438 [\u2026]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":207433346,"featured_media":6242,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"rank_math_description":"","rank_math_title":"%title% ","rank_math_focus_keyword":"\u041f\u0443\u0442\u0456\u043d","td_subtitle":"","subtitle":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[805616],"tags":[806754],"class_list":{"0":"post-6241","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-main-news","8":"tag-806754"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6241","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/207433346"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6241"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6241\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6243,"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6241\/revisions\/6243"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6242"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6241"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6241"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6241"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}What is behind the application<\/h2>\n
