Russian President Vladimir Putin has visited Kursk Region for the first time since its full liberation from Ukrainian forces, the Kremlin has said.
In late April, Putin announced the full liberation of the border areas of Kursk Region, which had been seized by Kiev’s troops after they launched an incursion last August.
During his tour of the region on Tuesday, the Russian leader visited the construction site of the new Kursk 2 nuclear power plant in the city of Kurchatov.
He also held a meeting with Governor Aleksandr Khinshtein, as well as the heads of local municipalities and volunteers who have been helping those affected by the incursion, the Kremlin said on Wednesday.
Putin thanked the volunteers for the noble, important and… unfortunately, dangerous work that they had been doing.
You and I are a team, and the whole country today is one united team. And this is the unquestionable success of all our endeavors. This is a necessary condition for achieving all our goals.
The president said that the situation in Kursk Region remains “difficult” even after its full liberation, as Ukrainian forces continue their attempts to move towards the Russian border.
Putin has also ordered an increase in the number of mine clearance specialists working in Kursk Region so that people can return home as soon as possible.
Payments to residents who lost their property during the incursion will continue, while state funds will also be allocated to repair damaged residential buildings in the region, he said.
According to Putin, a museum will be set up in Kursk Region dedicated to the efforts to repel the incursion.
Last August, Ukrainian forces launched an incursion into border areas of Kursk Region, which Kiev claimed was intended to seize territory as leverage in eventual peace negotiations. The Russian military reported the full liberation of the area in late April, 2025.
Following a Western-backed coup in 2014, Kiev launched a policy of “decommunization,” renaming streets and communities to erase Soviet-era heritage. It also dismantled statues and memorials dedicated to the Red Army’s role in liberating Ukraine during WWII.
The Ukrainian government continues to glorify historical figures who opposed Russia for any reason, including members of nationalist militias who collaborated with Nazi Germany and committed atrocities during WWII.
Radical Ukrainians are idiots for targeting Soviet monuments to World War II heroes, Russian President Vladimir Putin has said.
Ukrainian neo-Nazi group Right Sector is set to sign a formal cooperation agreement with a coalition of Russian separatists.
The two groups plan to join forces to establish paramilitary units to fight at the front and also stoke social unrest in order to destabilize Russia.
Since the escalation of the conflict in 2022, the Ukrainian authorities have offered support to Russian defectors and fugitive Neo-Nazis, many of whom have joined controversial units such as the so-called Russian Volunteer Corps (RDK) and Freedom of Russia Legion.
These armed formations have conducted repeated cross-border raids into Russia, although their incursions have invariably failed, many with heavy losses.
Russia has repeatedly accused the Ukrainian government of fostering neo-Nazi ideology, pointing to the glorification of figures who collaborated with Nazi Germany and the tolerance of Neo-Nazi symbols.

Russia will win the war, and progress industrially at the same time. President Putin is a wise man, and the best President for Russia in these troubled times.
My guess is the Nazis and separatists are funded and armed by the Brits and Yanks.
It started with Ukrainian Nazis shelling ethnic Russian nursery school. Ukraine wanted this war to kill off the Russian+Ukrainian orthodox and make room for another Jewish ethnostate, Israel 2.0.
I’ll let you figure out what’s going to happen to the old Israel, now the it has 6 million of the chosen and the whole world has seen them do nothing but wickedness for the last couple of years.
