Vladimir Putin made a visit to a command point of the Kursk grouping of forces
The President thanked the General Staff leadership, as well as the units that distinguished themselves by meritorious achievement, for the missions completed in the Kursk Region.
Some of the key statements by the Head of State:
🔹Our immediate task is to inflict a complete defeat on the enemy that has dug in in the Kursk Region and still keeps fighting here as promptly as possible and to completely liberate the entire region.
🔹According to the laws of the Russian Federation, any people who are present in the Kursk Region and commit crimes against civilians or oppose our armed forces, law enforcement agencies, or security services are considered terrorists. This is how their actions are treated by the Prosecutor General's Office of Russia, and it is specifically a terrorism probe that has been started against those people by the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation.
🔹I would also like to reiterate that foreign mercenaries are not protected by the 1949 Geneva Convention relative to the Treatment of Prisoners of War.
🔹We need to think about the future, as well as about creating a security zone along the border.
🔹We treat everyone humanely, and we should keep treating everyone humanely in the future, including anyone who is taken into our custody.
