– I do not regulation out that, given the tragic events that are taking place today, we will be forced at any point, erstwhile we consider it appropriate, to make a kind of sanitary area within the current Kiev government – He threatened Putin in mid-March. To this idea, justified by the necessity to prevent the usage in Russia of western arms transferred to Ukraine, he referred 2 months later Dmitri Medvedev. Even adding that this "guaranteed sanitary area will be somewhere on the border with Poland or already in Poland".
Buffer Zone
Could they have expected that shortly specified plans could be covered... by a part of their country? And that's what happened. On Wednesday, July 14, a week after the Ukrainian troops entered the territory of the border region of Kursk, the deputy chief of government in Kiev announced them Iryna Verestuk. – In order to defend Ukraine's border circuits (most notably the Sumic region border) Ukraine's defence Forces form a adjacent territory Ukraine safety region within the Russian Federation – you told the Deputy Prime Minister. These declarations came after a gathering with the president Volodymyr Zelenski. They were devoted to the situation in the Kursk region, where the first Ukrainian military commandants were already organized. According to the authorities in Kiev, it is besides in order that the Armed Forces of Ukraine can supply humanitarian corridors for civilians, both towards Russia and Ukraine, and to let the controlled region of the UN mission and the Red Cross. – The ‘buffer zone’ should guarantee the supply of food, medicines and another articles essential for civilians – provided Dmitro Lubinec, Ukrainian Ombudsman.
Ukrainian journalists were allowed to start there. On the same day, the first coverage from the occupied Suja aired tv 1+1. – I was relieved to think that the Ukrainians stay human and aid the civilian population of the country that wages war against them. It was at that minute the strongest emotion – She shared the impressions of the reporter Natalia Nahorna. – I think it's crucial that we stay human in this war. I would very much like us to pass this test on humanity.
Russia loses
How much truth, how much propaganda? Anyway, the conflict for the course circuit Russia is losing in the information war. The “optimistic” reports from the authorities that over 120 000 people have already been evacuated from the Ukrainians, intertwining with the fact that 180 000 are inactive waiting. Those who have been helped are frequently shocked by the failure of their own state. There is chaos in the fast evacuation points. Although adequate places to sleep, there are no sheets, no hygiene, and sometimes no water and food. – I worked in Mariupol, I worked in Belgorod, but I've never seen 1 like this. Everyone swears, fights and insults volunteers – Current Time portal quotes Olega, working at 1 of the evacuation points in Kursk.
Even more frustration is not hidden by the evacuations themselves. – She's mad at me due to the fact that I have 2 kids, so they gave me 3 pillows and they didn't give it— shows to her friend Natasha. – Then the correspondents came, talked to her, and in the evening she saw that everything was fine, we did not “fall down”, “we hold on” and “we feel the support of the full country and the president” ...
A Mikhail, who from Suja went to Kursk 3 days on ft in the woods, due to the fact that the promised evacuation did not happen, now complains that he "counted for something else" erstwhile the war began: – I thought we'd free Donbas quickly, take him to Russia, and that's it. He confided in journalists. And now you gotta save the course circuit and it's my home you gotta unleash...
