Ukrainian aid highlights Russian military missteps in Kursk
Vadim Mysnyk, spokesperson for the "Siewiersk" group, announced that Ukrainian forces are providing essential supplies to residents of the Kursk region in Russia, which is under their control. Mysnyk noted, "The Russian population does not understand why they are being shelled by their own forces."
As reported by Mysnyk, as cited by RBC-Ukraine, Ukrainians are trying to provide the population in the Kursk region, which is under the control of Ukrainian armed forces, with "everything they need."
He said the military is responsible for all of this because we adhere to all the requirements of international humanitarian law and ensure the local population is supplied with essential items.
Russians shelling their own territories
Despite the absence of Ukrainian troops in certain areas, Russian forces continue to shell local settlements. Mysnyk emphasised that the Russian population does not understand why their homes are hit by fire from their military.

"The local population doesn’t understand why they are being hit, as there are no soldiers even nearby. But the locals are suffering—they are forced to hide in basements for several hours, and sometimes they spend half the day there," Mysnyk added.
Nearly two months into the Ukrainian operation
The operation of Ukrainian armed forces in the Kursk region has been ongoing for nearly two months. It began on 6th August, when Ukrainians launched offensive actions in the border areas of Russia.
In the footage: the dropping of an FAB-500 bomb by Russians on an alleged location of Ukrainian soldiers and a warehouse in the Kursk region.
The Ukrainian army has taken control of over 100 localities. Recently, Russian forces launched an offensive attempt in the Kursk region, but as reported by Western media, the attempt to reclaim the seized areas failed.
