According to the CCTV News client, on the 20th local time, the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs summoned the US Charge d'Affaires in Russia to express strong protest against the illegal entry of American journalists into Kursk Oblast and evidence that personnel from a US private military company were involved in Ukraine's attack on Kursk Oblast.

The Russian Foreign Ministry stressed that these actions prove that the United States is a direct participant in the conflict.

The Russian side pointed out that the relevant Russian agencies will take necessary investigative measures in accordance with the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. In addition, the Russian Foreign Ministry also stated that foreign "experts" and mercenaries who illegally cross the Russian border will automatically become legitimate military targets of the Russian Federation Armed Forces.

The Washington Post published an article on the 18th saying that two reporters and a photographer from the newspaper, accompanied by Ukrainian armed forces soldiers, arrived in the border town of Suja in Kursk Oblast on the 17th. Russian media reported on the 19th that a private military company in the United States posted photos of military personnel in Kursk Oblast on its social media. The photos showed that American personnel participated in the attack on Russia's Kursk Oblast.
