Complete ignorance: Russia interferes with the search for the missing in Kursk region - the media

The Russian Air Force journalists spoke with the Russians who are trying to find out what happened to their relatives and how evacuation is being carried out, because fighting in the Kursk region is still ongoing. It is reported that more than 122 thousand people were evacuated from the controlled areas of Kursk region. At least two thousand locals are not in touch, they are searched by relatives and volunteers of search units of the Russian Red Cross and Lisa Alrt.

Most often, these are pensioners who could not leave themselves. It is noteworthy, but Lisa Alart volunteers voluntarily refused to post information about missing access: security forces require residents to minimize their presence on the Internet. Immediately after the operation of the Armed Forces in the Kursk region on the night of August 5 to August 6, reports began to appear from the people who were looking for their relatives: local residents and termmen who were to protect the border.

By August 12, volunteers and relatives searched for at least 2,000 people - so many appeals came to the Kursk Red Cross search detachments and Lisa Alert. In fact, there were more missing. According to data on the evening of August 20, the local authorities allegedly evacuated more than 122 thousand people from the border areas. But the Red Cross press service reported that in the last week the organization has received about 1.

5 thousand appeals (at the same time it was possible to find about 100 people), in the League Alart said that since the beginning of August 779 applications were received, in 111 cases the missing cases were found. Journalists tried to communicate with those looking for relatives, but most refused to communicate. But a resident of Legov, a town in Kursk region, confessed that he went to a judge for his mother.

It is noteworthy, but Cyril fought in Ukraine in 2023 as part of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, where he volunteered. He now told reporters that "against hostilities". Cyril confirmed that since August 6, no evacuation from Sudzhi was carried out. His mother refused to leave, so he drove from Legov three times, helping his neighbors.

In the evening, the soldiers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine were already in Zavleshenka - a village, through which the road between Legov and Judge is coming. The Russian military blocked the road for all, and it became possible to get to Sudzha only rural roads through the fields. Cyril returned to Legov without his mother. On August 9, the authorities began to export the city residents, and Cyril himself also was evacuated in Vologda. "I lost everything: house, documents, money.

I stayed in a T -shirt and shorts," he comments, saying that the authorities threw the residents of Kursk region. "Here's the Ministry of Defense . . . . How? Why didn't they see a large accumulation of the Armed Forces near the border? Why didn't they take action to evacuate the border? In neighboring victims there was some little evacuation. But we did not have it at all," he said. . There are also no news from the village of Kozacha Loknya.

The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation reported fighting in this settlement. And there is no connection. Locals report that Russian security forces demand that the locals restrict the use of the Internet to protect themselves. On August 15, at the request of the Prosecutor General's Office, the social network "VKontakte" blocked the "Sudzha - search for people" group, where the announcement of the wanted residents of the area was published.

In the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation, on August 20, information security was released, there is strongly recommended not to use surveillance cameras, DVRs in cars and services for online dating-with their help Ukrainian intelligence allegedly collects data.

The security officers and the military demand to disconnect the services with geolocation and the "people near" function, as well as to change phone numbers, if they are recorded as "Lesha FSB", "Pasha Rosgvardia", "Misha 123" - these numbers are compromised. We will remind, on August 20 the Provisional Acting Governor of Kursk Oblast Alexei Smirnov informed that residents of Kursk region will no longer announce air anxiety. And in Sudzh, journalists of UNIAN have already visited.
