"AFU came, I was evacuated": head of village council in Kursk region advised local resident to evacuate his relatives himself. Exclusive

The local authorities will not evacuate the village of Vnezapnoye in Kursk region, which the Ukrainian Defense Forces have recently entered. The head of the Viktorovka village council, Vladimir Marentsev, which includes the village, advised people to take their relatives out of the area on their own.

A local resident sent OBOZ.UA a recording of the conversation confirming this. He himself is working in Moscow, and he has a wife in Kursk region, who managed to write from the military's phone that she was fine.

"Why did you leave your wife? The Ukrainian Armed Forces entered Vnezapnoye, so I don't know how to relocate her from there now," said the head of the village council. He himself is now in Kursk, from which, according to the authorities, he was evacuated.

Marentsev justified his refusal to help by the fact that the so-called anti-terrorist operation was being conducted in the Kursk region. He advised to call 112 (a single number for emergency services) with all questions.

The village of Vnezapnoye, according to a local resident, was occupied by the Ukrainian Armed Forces on August 15.

It should be noted that the evacuation of the local population from the territories of the Kursk region of Russia controlled by the Ukrainian Armed Forces to Ukraine has not yet been carried out. Residents of the Kursk region of the Russian Federation, continue to live in place in areas where the fighting is not ongoing, although some may leave on their own without assistance from Ukraine, said MP Roman Kostenko.

As reported, Kirill Suvorov, the owner of a funeral home from St. Petersburg, threw a tantrum online because men were leaving the Kursk region. He was outraged that they did not want to take up arms or even shovels to dig trenches.
