Putin Has ‘Mission Accomplished’ Moment In Touring Liberated Kursk Region<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

On Tuesday into Wednesday Russian President Vladimir Putin had a ‘mission accomplished’ moment by visiting Kursk region for the first time\u00a0since its full liberation<\/strong> from Ukrainian forces.<\/p>\n

It was in late April which Putin first announced that all Ukrainian troops have been booted out and retreated, after their risky cross-border raid which started in early August, and resulted in over six months of Ukraine forces occupying hundreds of square kilometers of Russian land.<\/p>\n

Still, in touring some industrial sites in Kursk, including\u00a0the construction site of the new Kursk 2 nuclear power plant<\/strong> in the city of Kurchatov, he admitted that the situation in the Kursk border region remains “difficult”<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Ukraine has continued sending drones on a weekly basis into these southern regions, and there’s the constant threat of cross-border shelling<\/strong>, and even ongoing attempts at limited ground incursions. These border threats are far from fully over.<\/p>\n

Moscow had controversially deployed thousands of North Korean troops to Kursk over the last several months in order to help national forces drive out the Ukrainian occupiers.<\/p>\n

Putin during the visit also held meetings with Governor Aleksandr Khinshtein and local officials on Tuesday, the Kremlin and state media said. He\u00a0thanked volunteers in the war-ravaged border region for the\u00a0“the noble, important and\u2026 unfortunately, dangerous\u201d\u00a0work that they had been doing.<\/p>\n

A year ago the Western Media told you Ukraine had “invaded Russia” when they began their suicide mission into Kursk.<\/p>\n

Today Vladimir Putin visted a new Nuclear power facility being built in that same Kursk region.<\/p>\n

“You and I are a team, and the whole country today is one united team. And this is the unquestionable success of all our endeavors. This is a necessary condition for achieving all our goals,”\u00a0he said.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Western allies are not happy that President Trump is not pressuring Moscow harder, and has thus far refrained from slapping even more sanctions on Russia.<\/p>\n

Bloomberg<\/a>\u00a0previously reported that in the latest communications with European allies, Trump supposedly “repeated a number of the Kremlin\u2019s talking points” while painting a general picture of Russian military momentum and gains on the battlefield.<\/p>\n

And according to the NY Times<\/a>, <\/em>“images and videos of the trip released by the Kremlin were seemingly aimed at projecting a return to normality<\/strong>, even as fighting still raged in one corner of the region.”<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

As for ‘normality’ – fresh statements from Secretary of State Marco Rubio before a Senate hearing on Tuesday seemed to echo a desire to present things in eastern Europe as ‘normal’ – or at least not getting too distracted by…<\/p>\n

“But by the same token, I would say there\u2019s a flip side to that, and that is every minute we spend, every dollar we spend on this conflict in Europe is distracting both our focus and our resources<\/strong> away from the potential for a much more serious, much more cataclysmic confrontation in the Indo-Pacific,\u201d\u00a0Rubio told senators.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
