Ukraine Offers To Take in Russian Refugees Fleeing From Kursk
Newsweek ^ | 8/15/2024 | Hugh Cameron

Ukraine has offered to help Russians evacuating from the country's embattled border regions, which have been embroiled in armed hostilities since Kyiv's surprise incursion onto Russian soil began last week.

In a Telegram post on Wednesday evening, Ukraine's Deputy Prime Minister Iryna Vereshchuk said: "Due to the possible deterioration of the humanitarian situation in the adjacent territories of the Kursk region of the Russian Federation, Ukraine must be ready to receive Russian refugees."

Vereshchuk, who also serves as minister of reintegration for the areas under Russian occupation, announced that her ministry had opened a "24-hour hotline" for residents of Kursk "who need humanitarian aid or want to evacuate to Ukraine."

The deputy PM, who highlighted that her post was written in Russian so that it could be understood by the Kursk residents, included a phone number and email address for those seeking assistance.

"Ukraine complies with all norms of international humanitarian law," Vereshchuk added. "We will provide the civilians of the Kursk region with the necessary protection and humanitarian support."

On Thursday, Vereshchuk again took to Telegram to announced that Ukraine was attempting to establish a demilitarized route for the safe transit of Russian refugees to Ukraine from Kursk.

"We are currently working with the military on a possible route of a humanitarian corridor for civilians from Kurshchyna to Sumy," she wrote, using the Ukrainian spelling of the Kursk region.

This is something the International community could and should proceed to help Ukraine with immediately so they can focus their limited resources on attacking Russia.

Tucker Carlson bashed Russian President Vladimir Putin’s justification for invading Ukraine, claiming that the “denazification” of the country was “one of the dumbest things I’d ever heard.”

“I thought it was one of the dumbest things I’d ever heard,” Carlson told Fridman. “I didn’t understand what it meant.”

“I hate that whole conversation because it’s not real,” he continued. “It’s just ad hominem. It’s a way of associating someone with an evil regime that doesn’t exist anymore.”

More Ukie cheerleader gas.

Alexander blows the smoke away:

1:18:00

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...

Well, if they can care for the Russians, how about they care for THEIR OWN CITIZENS who are currently a pest upon western European countries?

Can we kick them all back, please?

That is to say this is particularly stupid window-dressing by Ukraine.

I’m still not on either side. Bad actors all around.

It would be a shame if Ukraine put them into say, a Children's Cancer Hospital.

A bunch of folks who want to be “Ukrainian” look at the state of the war and will opt to stay in Russia.
