‘Furious battles are underway’: Kursk residents call on Putin for help after Ukrainian incursion

Ukrainian forces are pushing further into the Kursk region of Russia, in a cross-border incursion that surprised even American officials, multiple US and Ukrainian officials tell CNN.

Ukrainian forces are comprised of a mix of Ukrainian regular and special operations units, unlike previous Ukrainian operations inside Russia that often involved undercover units and local sympathizers.

The intention, say US and Ukrainian officials, is multifaceted, in part to disrupt and demoralize Russian forces and in part to divert Russian forces away from other parts of the eastern front.

Russia claimed on Thursday to have halted a Ukrainian incursion into its territory, but later said that some battles are ongoing in the Kursk region. According to the Russian Ministry of Defense, units of the “North” group of its forces, together with the Russian Federal Security Service, the FSB, “continue to destroy Ukrainian armed forces formations in the Sudzhensky and Korenevsky districts of the Kursk region, which are directly adjacent to the Russian-Ukrainian border.” CNN cannot independently verify these claims.

Kursk residents, who live in the Sudzhansky District, recorded a video address to Russian President Vladimir Putin on Thursday asking for his help, saying he has been misinformed about the situation on the ground and the Russian Defense Ministry’s statements about things being under control are untrue.

The address was published on a local Telegram channel that is dedicated to covering the latest news out of the town of Sudzha in Kursk region, which has been under Ukrainian attack for several days.

“These lies enable the local residents to die. The Chief of the General staff recently told you that the situation is under control, but today huge furious battles are underway in the Sudzhansky and Korenevsky districts,” one of the residents said.

“Sudzha was attacked, turned into ruins in hours."

“I’ll do my best to ignore the worst of your insanely abusive insults and only respond when you descend into semi-rational discourse, should that ever happen.”

That has always been my policy as well as most Freepers against the invasion of Ukraine.

My responses continue to be consistent with my responses in the past as well as today:

I am in total agreement with Mr. Robinson:

2- https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/4166577/posts

I choose not to compromise my integrity by responding in a competition of insulting memes and comments toward opponents of my viewpoint.
IMHO, best to NOT adapt to the ‘attacking’ methods of your opposition. Otherwise, you will come to resemble your opponent. Then, your opposition has won.

All Freepers are aware that some Freepers retain and re-use from their ‘treasury’ of snarky comments and abusive memes To not acknowledge this reuse of ‘treasured’ memes and comments against other Freeper would be a gross distortion and deception.

Freepers are intelligent and better than this. This abusive behavior only results in diminished quality discourse on FR. So, we need to focus on the posted topic instead.

Bwahahahahahaha! She used another poster’s quote to produce a finger-wagging post at you instead.

I don’t know why zeepers have such difficulty with keeping track of to whom and which posts they’re replying. But they seem to struggle with that.

Of course, there are also those who never miss an opportunity to wag fingers in a strange, narcissistic desire to appear that they’re controlling others.

It’s quite bizarbara.

Your post is a perfect example of a true zeeper.
Of course you don't keep a list of the evil patriotic, MAGA Americans.
Holier-than-thou has that already covered. She even posted this to you on the discussion board.
I have never posted anything pro-Russia, but I have been called a Russian, a Communist and a Traitor by your idiotic, warmongering zeeper buddies. Any Pro-American poster gets the same treatment.
I was also doxxed by one of your psychopathic zeeper friends.

We are in AMERICA and we have every right to question and oppose how the Potato and Ukie flag waving rats and rinos, ship off billions and billions to the worlds most corrupt money laundering country.
We're more concerned about our OWN COUNTRY, the open southern border and all the corruption. Btw, the Pro-American women you call 'atrocious' have bigger balls than you. You're known as mother's little helper boy. You attack anyone who disagrees with her, don't you?
YOU need to stop your'insanely abusive insults' (your words) and accept the fact that not everybody is going ga-ga over your beloved Ukraine and it's high heeled wearing dictator.

zeeper HEROS!!!!


🇺🇲🇺🇲 PRO-AMERICAN HEROS! 🇺🇲🇺🇲

It’s hard to tell which zeeper has custody of the brain cell today.

😂🤣

They’re too busy getting people’s posts removed. It seems they don’t have the brain-power to manage more than one task at a time.

That’s why we see things like Mumsie replying to Jon Preston on a comment that Fairy made. And wagging that finger to beat the band while she’s at it.

[bimboeruption]

I love your pic of President Trump and his supporters walking with him.

Funny, I don’t see any Barbies or Joeys.

Oh my!!! 🤭🤭🤭😅

Guess you win: no custody of a brain cell! :)

I apologize. This response to your insult is beneath me.

>>>>I apologize. This response to your insult is beneath me.<<<<

Nothing is beneath a serpent.

PS. More responses from the zeeper who told everyone she was ignoring me. You can't help your sorry self, can you?
