China News Service, Moscow, August 12 (Xinhua) Russian President Vladimir Putin said on the 12th that the attacks by the Ukrainian armed forces on Russia's Kursk Oblast and other places will definitely be responded to by Russia, and all Russia's goals will be achieved.

According to the Kremlin website, Putin held a meeting at the Novo-Ogaryovo presidential residence in the suburbs of Moscow that day to study and evaluate the situation in the border areas of Bryansk, Belgorod and Kursk regions and "solve the current urgent problems." Members of the Russian Federation Security Council and the federal government, heads of the presidential office and law enforcement agencies, as well as heads of Belgorod, Bryansk and Kursk regions attended the meeting.

Putin pointed out at the meeting that the main task of the Russian Ministry of Defense is to drive the enemy out of Russian territory and ensure the defense of the national border together with the border defense agencies. The Russian Federal Security Service and the Russian National Guard must ensure the local anti-terrorist situation and effectively combat the enemy's sabotage and reconnaissance operations. The civil affairs department must ensure that everything is provided to law enforcement agencies. The heads of various departments and states must go all out to complete the main tasks.

Putin said that Ukraine is carrying out the will of the West, and that the West is using Ukraine as a pretext to fight Russia. The purpose of Ukraine's military action is to try to strengthen its position in future negotiations. Its main military goal is to stop the Russian offensive, but the Russian armed forces are advancing along the entire combat contact line. Another goal of Ukraine is to sow discord in Russian society, create panic, undermine the unity and cohesion of Russian society, and shake the domestic political situation in Russia.

Acting Kursk Oblast Governor Smirnov said that the Ukrainian army had penetrated the region to a depth of 12 kilometers and a front width of 40 kilometers. 28 villages and towns were controlled, with about 2,000 people living in these villages and towns. The current situation is unclear. The Ukrainian army's attack on the region has killed 12 civilians and injured 121 people, including 10 children. At present, 121,000 residents have been evacuated to safe areas.

The Russian Ministry of Defense reported on the 12th that since the 6th, the Ukrainian army has lost 1,610 troops in the Kursk direction, and lost 32 tanks, 23 armored transport vehicles and other heavy weapons and equipment. (End)
