I have seen the statements from the Russian government. It is a little bit rich, them calling it a provocation, given Russia violated Ukraine's territorial integrity and sovereignty,
I’d say it this way. Nothing about our policy has changed, and with the actions that they [the Ukrainians – ed.] are taking today they are not violating our policy,
It’s the war that they [the Ukrainians – ed.] are conducting. We are providing them with the equipment; we provide them with advice. But when it comes to the day-by-day tactic that they carry out, the day-by-day strikes that they take, sometimes we’re in communication about it, sometimes we’re not. It’s appropriate for them to make those decisions,
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,
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,
As you know, the Kyiv regime has undertaken another large-scale provocation,
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,
The fighting will be fierce,
Two Ukrainian missiles were shot down by air defence systems,
