According to CCTV News, Ukrainian President Zelensky said in his evening video speech on the 18th local time:One of the main purposes of Ukraine's attack on Russia's Kursk Oblast was to establish a buffer zone within Russian territory.

Zelensky said that the current priority of the Ukrainian army's overall defensive operation is to weaken Russia's combat capabilities as much as possible and launch a maximum counterattack, including establishing a buffer zone on Russian territory through operations in the Kursk region.

The Ukrainian army launched an attack on Russia's Kursk region on the 6th of this month, and then the two sides broke out in fierce conflict in the region. Russian President Vladimir Putin held a meeting on the situation on Russia's southern border on the 12th and said that Russia will resolutely respond to a series of provocations from Ukraine in the border area.
