Pensioner Nadezhda says that after the attack by the Ukrainian Armed Forces, the village was left without water and electricity; she and her husband cooked on a makeshift stove in the garden;
When the Ukrainians entered the village and fighting took place 200 metres from the house, the couple went down to the basement and stayed there for about two weeks until the Russian military evacuated them.
Earlier, Irina Kirichenko, a resident of the village of Kursk in the Sudzhansky district, said that she and her mother hid for a week from Ukrainian shelling in the basement of a house in the village of Cherkasskoye Porechnoye.
The Russian Foreign Ministry’s special ambassador Rodion Miroshnik said that the Ukrainian military was kidnapping residents of the Kursk region and taking them to an unknown address. As the diplomat stressed, the Ukrainian military in the Kursk border area behave like real terrorists.
