Residents of Kursk region have recorded an appeal to Putin. “Civilians are dying because of these lies!”

In a recording posted on social media, a resident said that on August 6, “foreign forces with NATO equipment” entered the area, and that the city (he did not specify which city) “was reduced to rubble within a few hours.”

— Our relatives, husbands, neighbors are defending Donbass. We lost our land, we lost our homes, we fled under fire, many without documents. We want to ask for help, we are alone. We are used to the shelling and supported a special military operation. [tak rosyjska propaganda nazywa inwazję na Ukrainę — red.]Our army has helped us and continues to help since the first days of the early warning system, the woman confirms.

“Our relatives are left behind, we can’t contact them, there is no communication with them. Please help us get our land back, he pleads.”

Another resident speaking on the recording noted that Russian media reported that Ukrainian forces had been “pushed back from the village of Novoivanovka.”

— As of today, according to appeals from local residents who remained there in extremely dangerous conditions, Malaya Lukhnya is said to be 90 percent “under the control of the Ukrainian Armed Forces,” the man says.
