Residents have begun to be evacuated in the Bolshesoldatsky District of the Kursk Region, its head Vladimir Zaitsev reported.
“There was no evacuation in our district until today. Everyone left on their own, no one interfered. Today we are collecting data on who still needs to be evacuated,” the head of the district wrote.
According to him, there are many people left in the area, but they do not want to leave. As of August 12, there were no requests for evacuation, Zaitsev specified.
At the same time, in the Sumy region of Ukraine, bordering Kursk, restrictions were introduced on the movement of all categories of citizens in the border twenty-kilometer zone. The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine explained that the restrictions are related to the increase in the intensity of military actions and “the activation of sabotage and reconnaissance groups of the enemy.”
In Kursk Oblast, residents of Sudzhansky, Glushkovsky, Rylsky and Korenevsky districts are already being evacuated. All of them are adjacent to the border with Ukraine. Bolshesoldatsky District, unlike them, does not border Ukraine: on the western side it is located by Sudzhansky District, on the southern side by Belovsky District of Belgorod Oblast, where evacuation has also already been announced . According to the 2020-2021 census, about 11 thousand people lived in Bolshesoldatsky District.
