Rusia extiende evacuaciones a una segunda región fronteriza
August 12, 2024 - Rusia está sacando residentes de algunas partes occidentales de la región de Belgorod, mientras Ucrania continúa con su ofensiva sorpresiva dentro de la vecina provincia de Kursk.
Some 11,000 people in the Belgorod region have been moved, Russian state media reported, because of “enemy action” near the border.
Ukrainian forces rammed through the Russian border on Aug 5 and swept across some Western parts of Russia’s Kursk region, a surprise attack that may be aimed at gaining leverage in possible ceasefire talks after the U.S. election.
Russia has so far struggled to halt the Ukrainian advance, with more than 76,000 people evacuated from the Kursk region, where a state of emergency has been declared by local authorities.
