Residents who have been displaced by the ongoing fighting in Russia's Kursk Oblast will be paid 10,000 rubles ($115) each as compensation, President Vladimir Putin said on Aug. 8.

In a video conference with Alexey Smirnov, the acting governor of the oblast, Putin said that it would a be one-time payment to "citizens who need it." He added that "other damage will also need to be assessed."

Ukrainian forces crossed the border into Kursk Oblast on Aug. 6, resulting in clashes on Russian soil that were described by Russian President Vladimir Putin as "a large-scale provocation."

Kyiv has largely refused to comment on the operation in Kursk Oblast, which takes place just as Russia is ramping up attacks in Ukraine's Donetsk Oblast.

Much of the fighting is reportedly taking place around Sudzha, a village with a population of around 5,000 people located less than 10 kilometers (six miles) from the border with Ukraine. The city of Kursk lies 85 kilometers (53 miles) to the northeast of Sudzha.

According to Russian media, several thousand people have been reportedly evacuated from Kursk Oblast.

The state-owned train operator Moscow Railway said on Aug. 8 that the railway stations in Sudzha, Korenevo, and Psel are "temporarily closed to passengers."

Rooting for a nation of literal Nazi's is why I know TLR is very, very lost.

It's not a conspiracy theory that several members of the military we fukking armed are white supremacists and regularly
done white supremacist iconography.

I'm indifferent to Russia being "good" or "bad", it's more about how my tax dollars are funding people who would blow
my head off with zero hesitation.

And Putin doesn't want to "remake the USSR", he's a fukking Capitalist and fully endorses an Oligarchy why in the world
would he go back to the USSR?
he thinks the USSR messed up in allowing to much autonomy among its member states. That’s why Ukraine, Belarus , etc have their own languages and national pride.

It’s like it’s not clicking for folks who don’t live in sanctuary cities or border states.

I’ve told them, I’ve never voted for trump before and didn’t pay much attention to him previously, but when you can see these millions of ppl with your own eyes and how it’s negatively affecting the black community, it only makes sense to vote for someone who wants to send all of them back and secure the borders. They’re ruining the country & black communities all of this allowed by Kamala & Joe.
Trump literally told his fellow republicans to vote against immigration reform so he would have something to run on.

:what:

This is a decent summation of what I think the Uke's are trying to achieve because the idea that they would actually try to occupy Russian territory is insane.

Cutting the gas lines and whacking local troops and dipping makes sense.

No sure tbh, cutting gas lines of their allies seems like a bad idea.

just speculating since i don't know much about it... they can fukk with the metering station so that the oil/gas can still flow to europe but russia won't know exactly how much to charge them for it. A multi-billion dollar self-checkout theft. prevents russia from using the proceeds to fund the war.

I ain't rooting for either side, but Ukraine is full of Nazis. Some divisions within Ukraine's military have been associated with having far right Nazi ideologies, and are known to use symbols linked to white supremacist groups. These same symbols were seen on the weapon used in the Christchurch mosque shooting in New Zealand, where over 50 people were killed.

Ukraine is full of Nazis and yet their far right party got a tiny percentage of the vote when Zelensky was voted in. :comeon:
