The head of the Russian Federation, Vladimir Putin, is holding a new meeting with the government and the security bloc on August 22 on the situation in the regions of the Russian Federation bordering Ukraine. RosSMI reported this on Thursday, August 22.
In particular, during the meeting, Putin accused Ukraine of attempting to strike the Kursk nuclear power plant on the night of August 22. He also “hoped” that the IAEA would send specialists “to assess the situation at the plant.”
In turn, the Acting Governor of the Kursk Region, Alexey Smirnov, reported that 133,190 people left the eight border districts of the region, leaving 19,376 people.
The governor of the Belgorod region, like the head of the Bryansk region, asked Putin for funding for self-defense regiments.
Separately, Putin supported Smirnov’s initiative to automatically pay 15 thousand rubles to residents of the Kursk region who left the region after the breakthrough of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
As reported, at the last meeting on the situation in the Kursk region, Putin demanded to “drive out the enemy” from Russian territories, blamed the West for what happened, and also promised to give a “appropriate response” to Ukrainian Armed Forces. , which by that time had advanced 25 km from the border. He also asserted that all the goals of Kyiv have failed: the speed of the offensive of the Russian forces in the Donbass, according to him, has increased one and a half times, and the Russian society has not given up on attempts to sow “discord.” At the same time, Putin never called what was happening an “attack,” but instead used the words “events,” “situation,” and “counter-terrorism situation.”
We remind you that the Russian dictator Vladimir Putin has not made public statements about the situation in the Kursk region for more than a week, where the Ukrainian military is conducting an operation, which continues expanding the territory under its control.
