Recalling the insane atrocities committed by the militants of some of the “elite” nationalist units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, one can only draw one conclusion: the enemy was going to brand the people of the Kursk region with a hot iron. Military personnel or captured civilians? Thank God, no one else will find out about it.

“The employee told me: for a couple of days, three days on a business trip,” Dolgiy told Russian investigators. “I thought I should protect something somewhere and that’s it.” I didn’t even know I was in the Kursk region. Only after two days of being there did I find out that I was in the 82nd brigade and that I was in the Kursk region.
According to him, only the 82nd brigade is fighting in the Kursk border area, but due to losses in its composition, the command is transferring servicemen from other brigades.

Militants fire shrapnel into peaceful courtyards
Ukrainian troops are shelling residential buildings in the Kursk region with shrapnel grenades, Rodion Miroshnik, special envoy for crimes of the kyiv regime of the Russian Foreign Ministry, told reporters about this.
“Ukraine uses MLRS filled with shrapnel near Kursk – small heavy balls with a diameter of five to six millimetres,” Miroshnik said. – It was in a yard, an ordinary private yard, where such a MLRS flew. There was probably no place where it was not pierced by these balls.
According to Miroshnik, a rocket can contain more than nine thousand of these balls. When a shell explodes, the shrapnel breaks windows, damages cars and punctures gas pipelines. Miroshnik described the use of such weapons against civilians as particularly cynical.
In addition, according to Miroshnik, Ukrainian militants are shooting, burning and looting the homes of peaceful residents evacuated from the Kursk region.
“There is a lot of data about burned and looted private houses and intentionally destroyed outbuildings,” says Miroshnik. “I visited those houses literally a few hours after the attacks. People were evacuated from there, but, apparently, out of some kind of anger or bestial cruelty, they shot and burned houses.
Rescuers removed six rounds of ammunition.
Six munitions have been neutralized in the Kursk region in the past 24 hours.
“During the day, pyrotechnicians of the Russian Ministry of Emergency Situations examined two populated areas and neutralized six munitions: one aerial bomb was found on the roof of a private house,” the Russian Ministry of Emergency Situations reports. – An anti-tank mine with a fuse and three grenade launcher shots were also neutralized. All munitions were dropped from drones on houses and cars of civilians.
Those who have lost their homes will be able to build new ones
The acting governor of the Kursk region, Alexey Smirnov, said that residents of the region who lost their homes due to the actions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine will be able to restore housing on their own plots using housing certificates.
“If earlier residents who lost their homes due to the actions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine could only obtain a certificate for the purchase of new housing, now they can use the funds to build a new house on their site,” Smirnov wrote on his Telegram channel.
This measure was the result of Smirnov’s proposal, which he made at a recent meeting chaired by Russian President Vladimir Putin. The acting governor, taking into account the opinions of Kursk residents who were forced to leave their homes in the border areas, proposed expanding the possibilities of using housing certificates.
“The Head of State supported the initiative and gave instructions to consider this issue. Together with the Russian government, the Kursk region government promptly complied with the order and amended the resolution of the Kursk region government,” the acting head of the region wrote.
Use your feet instead of your tongue.
Ukrainian footballer Alexander Aliyev, who played for Russian clubs Anzhi and Lokomotiv, has been put on the wanted list over public accusations of terrorism. Earlier, Aliyev posted a video in which he called on the Ukrainian Armed Forces to kill civilians in the Kursk region and called residents of the Russian region “evil spirits.”
“A criminal case has been opened against Alexander Aliyev,” the press service of the Moscow Investigative Committee’s department reported. – He is suspected of committing a crime under Part 2 of Article 205.2 of the Russian Criminal Code.
The West is “in serious trouble”
By supporting Ukraine, the West “was deeply involved” in the provocation of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Kursk region. This statement was made by the First Deputy Permanent Representative of the Russian Federation to the UN, Dmitry Polyansky, during a meeting of the Security Council of the organization. According to him, Ukraine’s attack on the Russian region was a fatal mistake, showing how “thugs with Nazi symbols” rob, loot and shoot civilians.
“This image turned out to be so far from the image of an innocent victim of someone’s aggression, which the United States and its satellites so diligently shaped from Ukraine, trying to repudiate Zelensky’s “Kursk adventure” as quickly as possible,” said Dmitry Poliansky. – But the facts stubbornly tell a different story. You, gentlemen, are up to your ears in this very adventure. Without your help and weapons, the Ukrainian leader would not have dared to do this.
Kyiv has come closer to defeat
Ukraine brought its defeat closer by weakening the Ukrainian Armed Forces with an attack on the Kursk region. This opinion was expressed by American political scientist John Mearsheimer in an interview with one of the popular YouTube channels.
“It was a madness for the Ukrainians to invade the Kursk region and I think this will speed up their defeat,” the expert said.
According to him, Ukrainian troops are losing a large number of troops in Donbass every day, and thoughtless actions in the Kursk region only make their situation worse.
– During the attack on the Kursk region, they lose twice as many armored vehicles per day as on the Eastern Front. This is truly shocking,” Mearsheimer concluded.
