The majority of residents in the border areas of Kursk region - this is from the Russian Emergencies Ministry - have been temporary resettled and are safe now over the past 24
hours.
More than 720 people have been move to secure areas either independently or in organized convoys and we are then told that the total number of people in temporary shelters - 177
temporary shelters - are already operating in 14 regions.
Nearly 9,500 people - including more than 2,500 children - are staying in them.
And then they say that they have additional shelters for Kursk residents throughout the country and they could put up - house - another 36,000 people, but overall most of the
people have been relocated from the area.
Notice that 9,500.
That gives us an indication of how thinly populated this territory where the Ukrainians now have a presence actually is, and the Russians have previously said that only 2,000
people are unaccounted for.
So who exactly is Zinski going to administer? Who are the people who are going to be administered by the Ukrainian authorities in this area? It’s a fantasy - it is nonsense.
So he’s [zElenskyy] tripling down on an operation which bears all the hallmarks of having failed, and which he is turning from a failure - though it must be said a media success -
he’s busy turning it into an outright debacle, but that’s not surprising - that’s perhaps what you would expect...
