Russian pilots are “destroying civilian infrastructure” in the Kursk region following Ukraine’s incursion which has now entered its third week.
The adviser to the head of the President’s Office Mykhailo Podoliak has said he believes that Russian citizens can end the war by forcing their “leadership” to discuss peace talks.
Podoliak wrote on X, “Now Putin’s army is fighting on the territory of Russia, shelling and storming Russian cities and towns.

“Russian pilots are destroying civilian infrastructure in the Kursk region with multi-kilogram bombs, forcing tens of thousands of local residents to leave their homes. Russian soldiers are looting shops and civilian homes of their neighbors.”
He added, “You can no longer turn away, we will not allow it. If you don’t want to see the war, you have to end the war by forcing your ‘leadership’ to make peace on fair terms.
“But is this possible in a country where informal slavery is synonymous with the real ‘Russian world?’.”
Russia has now evacuated 121,000 people from Kursk as more Ukrainian troops enter Russia which is seeing fierce fighting taking place.
Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Oleksandr Syrsky has told President Volodymyr Zelensky that the military operation in Kursk is “achieving their goals.”
“We are achieving our goals. This morning there is another replenishment of the exchange fund for our state,” Zelenskyy wrote.
