🗓️On 5 June, the Delegation of the Russian Federation to the Vienna Negotiations on Military Security and Arms Control and Ambassador-at-Large of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Russia, Rodion Miroshnik, co-hosted the international teleconference “Liberation of the Kursk Region”. 🌐 The event brought together representatives from more than 20 world capitals, including from the UN, the OSCE, the BRICS and the CIS member countries, Russian and European journalists as well as residents of the Kursk region. 📋The main speakers who made presentations at the teleconference were: Rodion Miroshnik, Ambassador-at-Large of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Russia, Sergei Futo, Head of the Special Projects Department at the Office of the Commissioner for Human Rights in the Russian Federation, Ivan Konovalov, military expert, and Olga Kiriy, RT.Doc war correspondent. Eyewitnesses to the war crimes committed by the AFU shared their accounts of events in the Kursk region. 🔹During the discussion, diplomats, journalists and bloggers from around the world discussed the situation caused by the Kiev regime’s failed attempt to seize territories in the Kursk region. ❗Key takeaways from the discussion: •The administration of the Kursk region is actively working with the Ministry of Economic Development of Russia and other federal authorities in order to restore border districts in the Kursk region in accordance with the order of the President of the Russian Federation. The size of the mined area poses a challenge. Enormous efforts are underway in this area. The return of Kursk region residents who were illegally displaced by the Ukrainian armed formations during the Ukrainian incursion remains the primary humanitarian concern. •International institutions are reluctant to publicly disclose and objectively assess Kiev’s actions which can be qualified as war crimes. In these circumstances, the Russian law enforcement authorities are thoroughly investigating all crimes that the AFU fighters and foreign mercenaries committed in the Kursk region. •The incursion of the AFU into the Kursk region of the Russian Federation added a new dimension to the Ukrainian conflict. Kiev had been playing the victim on the international stage, but the attack on civilians in the Kursk region debunked this narrative. Numerous incidents of torture, indiscriminate shelling, pillaging and obstructing the evacuation of the civilian population have been recorded. •Russian diplomacy will continue to draw the attention of international institutions and platforms to the evidence of crimes committed by Ukrainian armed formations against the civilian population.
