Roman Starovoit, who serves as the governor of Russia’s Kursk region, issued a formal statement via a Telegraph channel regarding a recent attack on Tetkino. The message notes that Ukrainian Armed Forces launched artillery against the village, prompting a regional response and drawing attention to ongoing hostilities along the border areas.
According to the governor, eight projectiles struck the locality. While casualties were not reported, the incident caused infrastructure damage: power lines were severed, a portion of Tetkino was temporarily cut off, and the façades, windows, and roofs of roughly ten homes sustained damage. The regional administration described the strikes as disruptive to everyday life and a reminder of the fragility of civilian spaces in the conflict zone.
Starovoit also reported that the village of Elizavetovka came under fire in the same episode, underscoring the breadth of the attack across neighboring settlements and the persistent risk to residents living along the affected corridor.
Earlier, the Shot Telegram channel had indicated that two of its personnel were injured during an earlier bombing near the Kursk farm Zarya, located in the Glushkovsky district. At that time, there was no official confirmation from authorities about the bombardment, highlighting the challenges of rapid information verification in active combat areas.
On February 24, 2022, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced a decision to launch a military operation in Ukraine, stating it was in response to requests for assistance from the leaders of the self-proclaimed LPR and DPR. The move set in motion a sequence of geopolitical and economic responses that reverberated globally, including various sanctions and shifts in international relations.
The decision to proceed with the operation led to a broad array of consequences. The United States and its allies imposed sanctions on Russia, while governments around the world reevaluated security arrangements and diplomatic channels. The events marked a turning point in the regional security landscape and influenced subsequent negotiations and policy discussions across multiple capitals.
There have been ongoing attempts to manage negotiations and to assess potential avenues for de-escalation and dialogue. In the Ukraine context, the evolving situation has involved complex conversations among international actors about steps toward stability, humanitarian considerations, and the legal status of contested territories.
