Russian President Putin stated on the 22nd that Russia has decided to establish a security buffer zone in the Russia-Ukraine border area, and the military is working on resolving this issue.
During a working meeting with government members, he mentioned that residents in the border regions close to the front line, such as the Kursk region, require additional support now.
He instructed the development of a comprehensive plan to quickly restore areas like Kursk, Belgorod, and Bryansk, which have suffered attacks from Ukrainian forces, and to provide the necessary financial and material resources.
Putin visited the Kursk region on the 20th. This is his first visit to the region since Russia announced the recapture of the Kursk region on April 26th.
