[Regnum] Representatives of the Russian Red Cross (RKK) have found out the fate of more than 1,200 people who went missing in the Kursk region after the attempted invasion of Ukrainian troops. This was reported on November 23 by the organization's press service.
So very good of them. Now do the those kidnapped by Hamas over thirteen months ago. It shouldn’t be hard — there are only about 100 of them, and something like half are already dead.
Since August, the RCC noted, requests have been received to search for more than 6,000 people, including lonely elderly people.

"We managed to restore contact or learn the fate of 1,253 people. The work continues," the statement said.

The organization provided assistance to 46 residents of the Sudzhansky district, who were taken to Ukraine in August and returned to Russia on November 22. People were given things, provided psychological support and helped to contact relatives.

Chairman of the RSC Pavel Savchuk emphasized that the Russians returned to their homeland thanks to three months of coordinated work.

As reported by the Regnum news agency, among the 46 residents of the Kursk region who returned as a result of the negotiation process with Ukraine, 12 were children. The people were placed in the Bryansk region, provided with food and opportunities for recreation.

On the morning of August 6, units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) invaded the Kursk region, intending to seize the territory. Their advance was stopped by Russian troops. A counter-terrorist operation is in effect in the Kursk, as well as the Belgorod and Bryansk regions, to ensure the safety of citizens.

Russian President Vladimir Putin reported on October 25 that the Russian Armed Forces had created a reliable ring around enemy units in the Kursk region and were continuing to squeeze it.

The number of civilians who have been recognized as victims in the case of the Ukrainian Armed Forces' attack on the Kursk region is in the thousands. Criminal cases have been opened against Ukrainian military leaders involved in committing crimes in the Kursk border area, the Russian Investigative Committee reported.
