Putin says that Kiev will receive a fitting response for the attack on the Kursk region
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.[Regnum] The enemy that attacked Russia will receive a worthy response. Moscow will achieve all its goals, Russian President Vladimir Putin said on August 12 at a meeting on the situation in the border regions.  “ The leaders of the Kiev regime are not only committing crimes against the Russian people, but, in essence, have embarked on the path of exterminating the Ukrainians themselves, the Ukrainian people, whom, apparently, they no longer consider their own,” Putin said. The Russian leader added that the losses of the Ukrainian Armed Forces are increasing dramatically for them, including among the most combat-ready units and divisions that Kyiv is transferring to the Russian border. “The enemy will certainly receive a worthy response, and all the goals facing us will, without a doubt, be achieved,” the president emphasized. As reported by the Regnum news agency, the Ukrainian army forces have been attacking the Kursk region since August 6. The Russian Armed Forces units stopped them in the border areas, not allowing them to go deep into the territory. The enemy's losses in this direction by August 12 amounted to 1,610 people. A Ukrainian military man detained by border guards in the Kursk region said that Ukrainian soldiers were given orders to shoot residents of the region on the spot for resisting, the FSB reported earlier. Ukrainian army militants intended to reach Kursk and Belgorod, the detainee also said. The Times wrote that the Ukrainian Armed Forces' attack on the Kursk region was the riskiest step taken by the head of the Kyiv regime, Volodymyr Zelensky. The journalists explained that the riskiness is due to the fact that this decision will not help the politician avoid defeat.
