Putin voices remarks on Kursk Region incursion attempt
(MENAFN) President Vladimir Putin of Russia has denounced what he described as Ukraine's latest significant provocation—a purported incursion attempt into the Kursk Region. Speaking at a government meeting, Putin accused Ukrainian forces of launching indiscriminate attacks using various weapons, including rockets, targeting civilian structures such as homes and ambulances.
Putin emphasized his ongoing monitoring of the situation through regular updates from the Defense Ministry and other relevant governmental bodies. He expressed solidarity with the affected region, pledging additional support to the Kursk Region administration in addressing the emergency. Acting Governor Aleksey Smirnov has already received medical reinforcements from Moscow to manage the surge in injuries caused by Ukrainian fire, with plans for further logistical assistance to bolster local emergency services.
According to Smirnov, over 2,000 people have fled border areas following the escalation that began early Tuesday morning. Rescue efforts have been mobilized to aid those seeking safety, with emergency shelters set up and neighboring regions extending assistance to refugees.
Meanwhile, Russia's Defense Ministry has asserted that its forces successfully repelled Ukrainian troops engaged in the alleged cross-border operation, inflicting substantial casualties and capturing heavy weaponry from the invading forces. The ministry's claims indicate that Ukraine's objectives to establish a foothold in Russian territory were thwarted, despite their sustained military efforts.
The incident marks a sharp escalation in tensions between Russia and Ukraine, highlighting ongoing geopolitical complexities in the region. As international observers monitor developments closely, concerns over the humanitarian impact and broader implications for regional stability persist. The situation underscores the challenges of managing conflict dynamics amidst competing national interests and security imperatives.
