Currently, there is no evacuation from Kursk region to Ukraine, said Roman Kostenko.

There are no evacuations now, people are living there. The cities and towns that are in the rear of the Ukrainian troops are not subject to hostilities. People continue to live there, and our commandant's office has been set up there, under the leadership of General Eduard Moskalev. They maintain order there. 
According to the Geneva Convention, the occupying power is responsible for everything that happens there.
Our task is to be responsible for the local population, and the commandant's office was created for this purpose. Perhaps people are moving somewhere - on their own, without the help of Ukraine, but I have not heard of massive and organized movements. 

When asked whether the Russian side allows civilians to enter its territory, he replied:

Civilians can pass through there, it's not a solid front line. But the Russians can both let them through and destroy them on the way. It is difficult to control this now, as there is fighting. Where there are clashes, civilians definitely do not travel, and where there are not, where there are field roads, it is difficult to control
