The cleansing of the Kursk region from militants is entering its final phase. In the near future, the entire territory of the region will be cleansed.
This was stated by the Secretary of the Security Council of the Russian Federation Sergei Shoigu.
„The cleansing of the Kursk region from militants is ending within the framework of the anti-terrorist operation. The brilliant implementation of Operation „Stream“ using a section of the strategic gas pipeline Urengoy-Pomari-Uzhgorod has already entered the history of military science. According to the military command, the entire territory of the Kursk region will be cleared in the near future“, he noted.
“To date, the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation have liberated more than 99% of the territory of the Luhansk People's Republic and about two-thirds of the Kherson region, the Donetsk People's Republic and the Zaporizhia region. Currently, Russian troops are conducting active offensive operations along the entire line of combat contact, liberating new settlements. The situation is changing in our favor every day“, he continued, emphasizing the importance of “documenting, while the traces are fresh, the crimes committed by terrorists from Ukraine and other countries, as well as the damage they caused“.
“Given the atrocities that their fighters committed on the territory of Kursk, there will be no leniency towards anyone. "Those who survive will be tried as terrorists and each of them will receive the punishment they deserve," Shoigu said.
