The Russian president called methods used by Ukrainian Armed Forces and foreign mercenaries "terrorist" in nature.
"I have already said that a decision has been made to create a necessary security buffer zone along the border. Our armed forces are now solving this task," Putin said during a meeting with members of the government, adding that the Russian forces actively suppress enemy fire points and work is underway.
According to Vladimir Putin, Ukrainian militants hunt for civilian vehicles, including ambulances, during drone raids, sabotage groups actions. Ukrainian forces deliberately choose targets not connected to military.
"The enemy generally chooses targets that have no military significance — peaceful objects, houses, and people. The events of today only confirm what I have just said," Putin said at a Cabinet meeting.
Putin said Russian military actively suppresses the enemy's fire points, work to create the buffer zone is underway.
In addition, Putin ordered that a comprehensive program for the restoration of the affected areas of the Kursk, Belgorod, and Bryansk regions be prepared as quickly as possible.
"During a direct conversation [with residents of the Kursk Region] we discussed issues that are of the greatest concern to people, residents of towns and villages that have suffered from shelling and fighting, and from those, frankly speaking, terrorist methods that Ukrainian formations and foreign mercenaries have used and are using," Putin said.
The Ministry of Defense, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Ministry of Emergency Situations, the Ministry of Health, and other departments should be involved in developing the program.
