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

Posted on 08/15/2024 2:44:12 PM PDT by marcusmaximus

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.

Russia’s already relocated 76,000 of the Kursk residents.

I suppose since Ukraine has had no major victory since retaking Kherson (in November 2022) so Zeleski could be looking for some sort of victory or success by going ito Russia directly.

Also Possibly Russian authorities hoped to rally public opinion against Ukraine by not acting early on as they had intelligence of an incursion into Kursk.

Also Russian authorities announced that they were moving people displaced from their homes in the Kursk region to parts of ‘occupied eastern Ukraine’.....

You have to wonder how many civilians took Zelensky's "offer" for safety in the Reich.

The goal was likely to try and capture the nuclear power plant in Kursk but that failed.

Holding whatever land they have might be a great negotiating tactic...but there is no chance of them holding it.

So, all adds up to Hail Mary attempt to change the course of the war.
