[Text/Observer.com Xiong Chaoran] On August 6, local time, Ukrainian troops broke into the Russian Kursk Oblast, which was the largest attack on Russian territory since the conflict broke out. Western officials expressed support for this action, but denied prior knowledge or involvement. Currently, Kursk Oblast has declared a state of emergency.

In an interview report published by Russia's Izvestia on August 16 local time, Russian presidential aide and former secretary of the Russian Federation Security Council Patrushev said that the Ukrainian army's entry into the Kursk region was planned with the participation of NATO and the West, and was driven by the realization that the Kiev regime was "about to collapse." Without the permission of the United States and the support of NATO, Ukraine would never dare to enter Russian territory on a large scale.

"It was the West that placed the criminal junta at the head of Ukraine. NATO countries supplied Kiev with weapons and military instructors, constantly provided intelligence and controlled the actions of neo-Nazis. The operation in the Kursk region was also planned with the participation of NATO and Western intelligence services. This criminal act was driven by a premonition of the inevitable collapse of the neo-Nazi Kiev regime."

Patrushev, who led the Russian Federation Security Council for many years and is now the presidential assistant for national maritime policy, believes that the claim of US leaders that they did not participate in the Ukrainian military's actions in the Kursk region does not match the reality. The United States often says one thing and does another. Without their participation and direct support, the Ukrainian army would not have ventured into Russian territory.

Patrushev said: "Currently, the Ukrainian population is suffering for the sake of the interests of the United States, which has turned Ukraine from a country into an anti-Russian military project. Under the strong manipulation of Washington, all the prerequisites have been created for Ukraine to lose its sovereignty and part of its territory, including some of the United States' allies that have long coveted it."

The Ukrainian army launched an attack on Russia's Kursk Oblast on August 6, local time, and fierce clashes broke out between the two sides in the state.

On August 12, local time, Russian President Vladimir Putin held a security meeting on the situation in Kursk Oblast. He said that Ukraine attempted to gain more bargaining chips for negotiations by attacking Kursk Oblast, but it was meaningless to negotiate with a government that attacked civilians. He said that the primary task facing the Russian Ministry of Defense is to drive the enemy out of Russian territory and ensure that the border is reliably protected.

Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Zakharova said at a regular press conference on August 14 that Ukraine's terrorist attack on Russia's Kursk Oblast will lead to a long-term suspension of peace talks between the two sides.

On August 15, local time, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky announced that he had occupied the border town of Suja in Kursk Oblast, Russia. Ukrainian Armed Forces Commander-in-Chief Sersky said that the Ukrainian army had controlled 1,150 square kilometers of Russian territory and 82 settlements. On the same day, Ukrainian News Agency quoted a source saying that the Ukrainian special forces captured 102 Russian soldiers in the Kursk region.

On August 15, local time, Russian Defense Minister's adviser Ilnitsky said that under the command and coordination of Western special services, the Ukrainian army invaded Russia's Kursk Oblast. In view of the extremely tense situation in the region, the Russian Ministry of Emergency Situations announced on the 15th that Belgorod Oblast, adjacent to Kursk Oblast, has entered a federal state of emergency.

According to a report by Russia's TASS news agency on the same day, the Russian Ministry of Defense stated that more than 9,500 residents in the border areas of the Kursk region were placed in temporary accommodation, and most of the residents were in a safe state. On the 15th, the Russian army regained control of the village of Krupets in the Kursk region, repelled the enemy's attacks in multiple directions, and eliminated more than 340 enemy soldiers and 19 armored vehicles and other weapons and equipment in one day.
