新华社莫斯科12月31日电 据塔斯社2025年12月31日报道,俄罗斯武装力量总参谋长格拉西莫夫当天视察俄北部集团军时传达总统普京的指令,2026年继续扩大在乌克兰东北部苏梅州和哈尔科夫州的“安全区”,以确保与之接壤的俄别尔哥罗德和库尔斯克地区平民生命安全。

报道说,格拉西莫夫在一处指挥所视察俄北部集团军任务执行情况,听取战情报告。他表示,北部集团军在苏梅州和哈尔科夫州成功开辟了与俄接壤的“安全区”,目前总面积约950平方公里,包括共计32座村镇、城市。俄军方未公布此次视察的具体地点。

2025年4月,俄总统新闻秘书佩斯科夫说俄方已从乌克兰武装部队手中收复库尔斯克州。同年5月,普京表示俄罗斯决定在俄乌边境地区设立安全缓冲区,以保护布良斯克、别尔哥罗德和库尔斯克地区免受乌克兰武装部队打击。俄北部集团军随后表示俄军正执行沿俄罗斯与乌克兰边境建立“安全区”的作战任务。
