SBU: Russian special services may soon resort to staging crimes against population of Kursk region
Kyiv • UNN
SBU warns of Russian attempts to accuse Ukrainian military of war crimes in Kursk region. The SBU spokesperson said that crimes against civilians may be staged to discredit Ukraine.
The spokesman for the Security Service of Ukraine Artem Dekhtyarenko warned of attempts by Russian special services to use the events in the Kursk region to falsely accuse the Ukrainian military of war crimes. He stated this during a telethon, UNN reports.
"The SBU records attempts by Russian special services to use the situation in the Kursk region to falsely accuse Ukrainian defenders of committing war crimes. For this purpose, Russia creates and disseminates various fakes and information injections that have nothing to do with reality," Dekhtyarenko said.
According to him, the Russians' IPSO is related to the inability to effectively counteract the offensive actions of the defense forces.
According to the SBU, in the near future, Russian special services may resort to staging crimes, in particular against civilians in the Kursk region, in order to blame them on the Ukrainian side. Therefore, we warn that these attempts are futile and will not affect the offensive actions of the defense forces, in the opinion of international partners
Recall
Fighting has been reported in the Kursk region of Russia since August 6, following reports of a "breakthrough" of the border and the "entry" of Ukrainian forces. A federal emergency was declared in the region. In addition, a counterterrorism operation was introduced in the Kursk region, as well as in the Belgorod and Bryansk regions.
On August 12, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy confirmed the operation in the Kursk region. The head of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Oleksandr Syrskyi, reported that about 1,000 square kilometers in the Kursk region were controlled. These are, in particular, the areas from which the Russian army launched attacks on Sumy region. Therefore, the Ukrainian operations are a purely security issue for Ukraine, the liberation of the border from the Russian military, Zelensky emphasized.
The Russian Defense Ministry says 14 drones were "shot down" over Kursk and two other regions overnight, authorities in Belgorod region say almost the entire population has left Krasnoyarsk district, and a new ISW report indicates further advances by Ukrainian forces in Kursk region.
