On August 12, Russian President Vladimir Putin held a meeting on the situation in Kursk Oblast, Russia. Putin stressed that "the most urgent and important thing at the moment is to immediately drive the Ukrainian troops out of Russian territory."

Putin said, "Ukraine is trying to gain more bargaining chips for negotiations by launching an offensive against Kursk Oblast." He also said, "Despite the provocative actions launched by the Ukrainian army in Kursk Oblast, the Russian army is still advancing in an orderly manner along the entire combat contact line. After the Ukrainian army raided Kursk Oblast, the Russian army's offensive increased instead - the Ukrainian army will get the response it deserves, and the Russian army will achieve all its goals."

Acting Kursk Oblast Governor Smirnov said at the meeting that the Ukrainian army's attack on the state has killed 12 people and injured 121 people, including 10 children. The Ukrainian army currently controls 28 settlements in the state, and the situation of about 2,000 people living in these settlements is unknown. Currently, about 121,000 people in the state have been evacuated.

The Russian Ministry of Defense reported on the 12th that in the past day and night, the Russian army repelled seven rounds of Ukrainian attacks in the Kursk direction, thwarting the enemy's mobile group's attempt to break through and penetrate deep into Russian territory. The Ukrainian army lost 260 people and 31 armored vehicles in the Kursk direction.

TASS quoted the Russian Ministry of Emergency Situations on the 12th as saying that more than 180 tons of humanitarian aid had been delivered to Kursk Oblast. More than 370 temporary settlements in 54 regions of the Russian Federation were ready to receive residents of the border areas of Kursk Oblast. As of the morning of the 12th, 100 temporary settlements in seven regions had accommodated 7,000 people, including more than 2,000 children.
