"Budget Poor": Belgorod and Bryansk governors asked Putin for Terrobron

Vyacheslav Gladkov complained that almost six thousand people "have been performing combat missions throughout the border", but they do it for free. Against the background of the Armed Forces operations in the Kursk region, governors of Belgorod and Bryansk regions of the Russian Federation were asked for President Vladimir Putin for Terrobron. About it writes the edition of The Moscow Times.

Governor of the Belgorod region Vyacheslav Gladkov asked Putin to allocate money for previously formed shelves of terroborons. According to Gladkov, about six thousand people "are already performing combat missions in the border for free. " The governor of Bryansk region Alexander Bogomaz also reported that the Terrobron was formed, but there was no money for her in the region, so he joined the request of a colleague from Belgorod. "We do it today at the expense of the regional budget.

First, we could reduce the burden on the budget-it is poor-well, and to expand the number of territorial defense participants," Bogomaz emphasized. In response to the request of the governors, Putin stated that he had already instructed the heads of federal agencies to deal with the issues of financial support of terroboron.

For his part, the head of the Ministry of Finance of the Russian Federation Anton Siluanov stated that the funds for these purposes would be allocated only after "determining the functionality of employees of territorial defense". And he will determine it together with the lawyers of the Russian Federation. At the same time, the SBU Colonel Roman Kostenko, who visited the Kursk region, reported that no confrontation between local residents (of which a terroboron is usually formed) was not met.

Kostenko even compared the situation with Ukrainian cities whose residents resisted the invasion of Russian troops. He confirmed that the Russian border guards simply fled, and the local population calmly treated Ukrainian soldiers. "The local population is left there many Ukrainian -speaking people. No one there was Molotov's cocktails. They communicate, our military is help .

We will remind, earlier Focus wrote that the mistake of Russian General Alexander Lapin allowed the Armed Forces so rapidly to step in the Kursk region. Shortly before the operation, in May 2024, Lapin dissolved a council that coordinated the actions of the military in the region and weakened the border protection. This affected the course of events and contributed to the significant promotion of the Armed Forces deep into Russia in a short time. This is stated in the author's material WSJ.
