Checkin' Out the Front Lines in Kursk with Old Putie
- Russian president pays a visit to military personnel stationed in Kursk region
Hey there! Guess who dropped by for a visit in Kursk? None other than our man Putin himself. This marks his first trip to the area since last summer's sneaky Ukrainian incursion into the border region, as reported by Russian news agency Tass. In August, Ukrainian soldiers boldly entered Russian territory and seized a good chunk of Kursk, control-wise. But, as they say, nothing Gold can stay, right? Russia has been working tirelessly to reclaim those lost territories, according to their own account. And it seems like their efforts are paying off, with the Kremlin declaring a "swell trend" in Kursk.
On Tuesday, ol' Putie declared that they'd recovered more than a hundred square kilometers in the region. So, Russian troops are feeling pretty darn chipper these days.
