American media report on the Ukrainian “occupation” in Kursk

According to Isna, the American media in a report referring to the current events in Kursk and the restrictions imposed on the movement of Russian citizens in this region, reported that the armed forces of Ukraine in Kursk have turned into an occupying force.

According to the Wall Street Journal, the story of an old Russian woman who was recently taken out of Kursk by Ukrainian soldiers has been widely visited on the internet and has attracted a lot of attention.

“Maria Andreeva”, a 76-year-old Russian woman who lived in a village in Kursk, did not escape from this village when the Ukrainians attacked, and at first the people who fled from this village said that she was executed by the Ukrainian military. However, shortly after, pictures of her conversation with Ukrainian soldiers were published online, showing Ukrainian soldiers handing a bottle of water to this old woman.

Maria’s daughters, who live in Norway, saw these pictures and through the media that published them, contacted the Ukrainian soldiers present in Kursk and asked them to take their mother out of the war zone. Since Maria has Ukrainian citizenship, her daughters tried to take her out of the war front before the extensive destruction of the village where she lives, and they succeeded.

According to the Wall Street Journal, the story of Maria Androva shows the fact that the Ukrainian military present in Kursk has found a new role: the occupier.

Russian armed forces have occupied more than 100 towns and villages in Russia since last month, and President Volodymyr Zelensky told NBC last week that these areas will remain occupied by Ukraine for the time being so that Kiev can use them at the negotiating table. .

Zelensky has appointed a military commander for this area and has claimed that his forces respect humanitarian rights, but according to the American media, since Kiev has restricted access to this area and except for the military and a small number of journalists, no one has the right to enter this area. It does not belong to Russia, it is difficult to assess its situation.

Tens of thousands of people fled their homes when the Ukrainian forces entered Kursk, but so far no humanitarian corridors have been established to evacuate 20,000 Russian citizens in these areas, and the relatives of these people are demanding their evacuation before the villages are destroyed. have been
