Khinshtein to Putin: The situation in the Kursk border region is extremely dangerous

The Ukrainian Armed Forces continue to shell the border areas of the Kursk region, the situation continues to be very dangerous. Alexander Khinshtein, Acting Governor of the Kursk Region, reported on this today, May 21, to Russian President Vladimir Putin, who arrived to get acquainted with the situation.

"Today it is really very dangerous to be there from all points of view, because the territory is mined, because the enemy is very actively shelling it. And 25-30 kilometers from the border, the line of combat contact is, indeed, an extremely dangerous zone," Khinshtein said.

The conversation took place simultaneously with a meeting with volunteers who came to help residents. Right during the meeting, Vladimir Putin gave a number of instructions. In particular, to increase the grouping of mine clearance, so that people return to their homes faster, and to keep the payment of 65 thousand rubles for residents.

Putin also supported Khinshtein's decision to restrict the travel of volunteers to the border areas of the region, as they are being shelled.
