Russian President Vladimir Putin on Wednesday accused Kyiv of “large-scale provocation” and “indiscriminate shooting” in the Kursk region, where Moscow claims it is fighting incursions by Ukrainian troops since Tuesday.
“The Kyiv regime has undertaken another large-scale provocation, conducting indiscriminate shooting from various types of weapons, including missiles, at civilian buildings, residential buildings, ambulances,” Putin told a government meeting in Moscow.
Expressing that he will also hold a meeting with the heads of law enforcement agencies and top military officials on the situation in Kursk, Putin said he ordered civilian agencies to provide the necessary aid to residents of the region.
Russia on Tuesday claimed that up to 300 Ukrainian troops, including 11 tanks and more than 20 armored combat vehicles, attacked its military positions near two border settlements adjacent to Ukraine’s Sumy region.
The Defense Ministry said clashes between its troops and Ukrainian forces continued overnight, adding that its forces did not allow Ukraine to advance deep into Russian territory.
At least five people have died since the start of the clashes in the region, according to statements by the Kursk’s acting governor, Alexey Smirnov.
Meanwhile, Alexey Kuznetsov, the deputy head of the Health Ministry, said 24 people, including six children, were injured in Ukrainian shelling.
Ukrainian authorities have not yet commented on Russia’s claims, and independent verification is difficult due to the ongoing war.
The war criminal is whining about a provocation. No hypocrisy here then.
putler is saying in effect:
“It’s my job to murder Ukrainian children for the gratification of the members of my death cult. It’s also my ordained job to make Ukraine extinct.
How dare those Ukrainians have the effrontery to resist my important work!”
The entire putler murder gang are long overdue to getting their comeuppance. As long as that comeuppance involves pain comparable to what putinaZis inflicted on Ukrainian POW’s, Ukrainian women and involves a blowtorch, that might be acceptable.
This guy is out of his mind. He’s living in a different universe. I don’t understand how anyone in the west takes him seriously
Reading such words from a wanted war criminal makes you want to vomit … all over the floor … like a fountain, shown in a comedy. That ghoul is just insane.
