Description

Representatives of the All-Russia People's Front were seen handing over equipment and medical supplies to servicemen as part of a collection by the ‘Everything for Victory!’ foundation.

Footage taken on Monday shows Russian State Duma Deputy Chairperson Petr Tolstoy and Moscow Region’s Chief Immunologist Andrei Prodeus handing over medical service vehicles, quad bikes and medicines.

"We bow low to you. We remember you. I’m sorry we don’t always send you videos. You’re doing a very important job, and we’re all heading for victory together," said a military medic, thanking the foundation for its help.

A soldier with the call sign 'Vulcan' noted that soldiers need video equipment as well as regular supplies.

"Anyone who serves in the military absolutely understands how important it is to have a report on the work done. Because it doesn’t matter what you have done - if you don’t have a photo or video report of the situation, then you have done nothing. Over the year that my group has been working, I can say that the use of videos filmed on GoPro cameras helped us to make a lot of progress in terms of understanding how to conduct evacuations and how to deal with the whole thing," he explained.

According to the All-Russia Popular Front, the organisation handed over 8 UAZ vehicles, 7 quad bikes, 3 motorcycles, 50 medic backpacks and consumables.

The Chief of the General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces, Valeriy Gerasimov, stated that Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) units went on the offensive to seize part of the territory in the Sudzhansky district of the Kursk region on August 6, while the actions of Russian troops 'stopped the enemy's advance deep into the territory'.

The Russian Defence Ministry continues to report that attempts to break through the AFU’s mobile groups in the Kursk region have been suppressed.

During a meeting with the governors of border regions on August 12, Russian President Vladimir Putin said that the main goal of the AFU was to try to stop the Russian troops' offensive and destabilise the country, noting that there could be no negotiations with those who 'indiscriminately attack civilians, civilian infrastructure, or try to threaten nuclear power facilities'.

According to the Kursk region's acting government, 12 people were killed and 121 have been wounded in the attacks, including ten children. A counter-terrorist operation regime was introduced in the Kursk, Belgorod, and Bryansk regions on August 9.

More than 120,000 people have been evacuated from the border districts of the Kursk region. Over 10,000 Kursk residents have been placed in temporary shelters located in 24 regions.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky stated that the AFU’s goal in the Kursk region is to 'create a buffer zone' on Russian territory. On August 19, he said that "if [Western] partners lifted the restriction on long-range strikes against Russia, there would be no need to launch an operation in the Kursk region."

Meanwhile, European Commission spokesperson Peter Stano said that 'Ukraine has the right to defend itself', which includes 'hitting the enemy on his territory'.

The US State Department has said that its policy on allowing the use of US-supplied weapons to 'target imminent threats just across the border' had not changed, and noted that the incursion does not violate US policy.

Moscow launched a military offensive in Ukraine in late February 2022 after recognising the independence of the Donetsk and Lugansk People's Republics (DPR and LPR), claiming that Kiev had failed to guarantee their special status under the 2014 Minsk Agreements, and urging Ukraine to declare itself officially neutral and give assurances that it would never join NATO.

Kiev denounced the Russian action as an invasion. Zelensky imposed martial law throughout the country, announcing a general mobilisation, while the EU and the US imposed several rounds of sanctions on Moscow.
