The natives are getting restless. Kursk Civilians' Anger Turns Toward Russian Government and Putin (msn.com) Story by Kathrine Frich • 1d As the Ukrainian incursion into Russia's Kursk region stretches into its third week, local civilians are expressing mounting anger — not just at Ukraine, but at their fellow Russians and their own government, which they feel has abandoned them and downplayed the severity of the situation, according to Hotnews. How Could they have Missed it?Residents of Kursk, who spoke to The Moscow Times, voiced frustration over what they see as government inaction and fears about the war now at their doorstep. For security reasons, their names have been changed. “People don't matter to anyone,” said Anna, a 28-year-old resident of Kursk, criticizing the Kremlin's response. “To Russia, we’re just a piece of the map. To Ukrainians, we’re enemies supporting Putin's regime. Everyone here is on their own.” Svetlana, 32, echoed these sentiments, blaming both Ukraine for the attack and questioning the competence of Russia’s armed forces. “How could [Russia] have missed the buildup of such a large number of Ukrainian troops at the border?” she asked, noting that while locals are frustrated, they hesitate to directly blame authorities for abandoning them.
