The National Resistance Center reported that all humanitarian aid has been redirected to the Kursk region. It emphasized that for Russia, humanitarian goods serve as a means of extortion and bribery of societal loyalty.
The humanitarian aid was presented as an initiative from the population of the occupied territories. Meanwhile, residents are being denied assistance. The NRC informs that instead, they are fed promises.
The center pointed out that the needs of ethnic Russians take higher priority because the Kremlin fully understands that TOT (temporarily occupied territory of Ukraine) is not Russia. "It is no secret that for the Kremlin, Ukrainians are not a priority," it reads.
Situation in the Kursk region
By Saturday, in the Kursk region, where Ukrainian forces have been conducting an offensive since August 6, over 76,000 people have already been evacuated.
On Friday evening, Russian authorities imposed an anti-terrorist operation regime in the Kursk, Belgorod, and Bryansk regions, which border Ukraine. This regime allows for the use of necessary measures and temporary restrictions. This includes forcibly relocating residents, restricting transportation in specific areas, enhancing the protection of important facilities, and using telephone wiretaps.
