It's important to keep on destroying the enemy as effectively and steadfastly as our soldiers can to help the defence of our country ...,
To eliminate the consequences of enemy forces coming into the region, I took the decision to introduce a state of emergency in the Kursk region from 7 August,
I'll let the Ukrainians speak to their operations, one way or the other, that's most appropriate. We're going to stay focused on making sure they have what they need to defend themselves,
The more pressure put on Russia, the aggressor which brought war to Ukraine, the closer we come to peace. A just peace [achieved] through just strength."
I have just signed the order to introduce a mandatory evacuation of 23 settlements from five communities in the Sumy district.
Where is our vaunted army?
Following my conversation with the acting governor of the Kursk region, instructions have been given to several civilian agencies to provide the necessary assistance to the region’s residents. I also ask the government to take up this matter immediately,
The Kyiv regime has launched another major provocation,
This isn’t the Russian Volunteer Corps or the Freedom of Russia Legion. These are AFU units entering Russia,
We have to start with the events in the Kursk region. As you know, the Kyiv regime has carried out another large-scale provocation, firing indiscriminately with various types of weapons, including missiles, at civilian buildings, residential buildings, and ambulances,
We knew that the Ukrainian Armed Forces would go to Kursk Oblast. We knew that they were pulling forces together. We knew everything as usual, the guys from the fields reported it, but the higher-ups did nothing,
The nuclear power plant in Kurchatov is an object that has long been the object of desire of the Ukrainian military elite and their curators.
Well, of course… war is always a ****ed up ******* thing
Over the course of the last day, with our help, several thousand people left the shelling zone by personal transport,
I had been avoiding the army altogether [but was conscripted in the end].
Air strikes, missile forces, artillery fire and active actions of units covering the state border … in the Kursk direction prevented the enemy from advancing deep into the territory of the Russian Federation,
Two Ukrainian missiles were shot down by air defence systems,
It is obviously directed against a peaceful population, against a civilian population,
Immediately after our meeting, I will have a meeting with the heads of law enforcement agencies, the Ministry of Defence, the General Staff, the Federal Security Service of Russian Federation, I mean the Federal Security Service department [responsible] for the border control, and I will hear another report from my colleagues on what is happening in Kursk Oblast."
So the question is how this operation will affect the fighting elsewhere and whether these forces could have been employed more effectively in Donetsk oblast,
