0:30Now PlayingUkraine’s military has taken control of 28 towns and villages in Russia’s Kursk border region, prompting a sixth of its population to flee the incursion, the acting regional governor told President Vladimir Putin. #politics #russia #putin #ukraine #zelensky #kursk
More than 120,000 people have left their homes and about 60,000 more are waiting to be evacuated, Alexey Smirnov told Putin and Russia’s top security officials during a televised meeting on Monday. Ukrainian forces have penetrated at least 12 kilometers (7.5 miles) into Russia and control a border area at least 40 kilometers wide, though there’s “no clear understanding” of where their troops are, he said.
The frank assessment of the scale of the Ukrainian intervention prompted Putin to interrupt the governor, telling him to focus on “helping people” and leave the military to assess the battlefield situation. The broadcast ended shortly afterward.
Putin said the Defense Ministry’s main task was to “drive out the enemy from our territories and, together with the Border Service, ensure reliable protection of the state border.”
