‘Horror everywhere’: In Kursk, evacuated Russians long for peace • FRANCE 24 English

Russia says it has evacuated 371 of its civilians from towns it has recently retaken from Ukraine in the Kursk region, many of which have been left in ruins by the fighting. The civilians became trapped when Ukraine launched its surprise incursion in August 2024 and until now little was known about life for Russian citizens in the areas held by Kyiv. “The Ukrainian soldiers did not hurt us. They treated us kindly,” said one evacuee from the town of Martynovka.

  1. They can thank themselves and putin for this. I`m sure they will receive a 100$ or a fur coat if they lost their homes.

  2. Of course Russia longs for peace. That's why they agreed to Minsk. That's why they made another peace offer in Istanbul. It was the West who admitted lying to Putin about Minsk because they wanted to arm Ukraine for war. It was the West and Ukraine who rejected Istanbul. It was Ukraine who made peace talks illegal. It was Kiev who proclaimed that all issues were to be settled on the battlefield. Of course now that they are losing, they want Minsk 3.0, so that they can rearm and retrench to get ready to fight for another year.

  3. Respekt us taxpayers in EU – No peace agreement without an international open investigation into President Zelensky's allegations of mafia affiliation and the estimated $1 billion stolen from Ukraine's fund from donor countries, especially from the US and the EU.

  4. Ukrainian forces folded like a cheap suit in Kursk, the operation rapidly collapsed once new Russian drones decimated Ukrainian supply lines.

  5. The EU couldn't care less about the Ukrainian people they'll just replace them all they care about is expanding the EU border the only border they recognize.
