Russia to rescue 9,000 kids out of border area targeted by Ukraine

9,000 children in a Russian border area are being relocated in response to the harm caused by shelling from Ukraine according to official on Tuesday. Kyiv’s soldiers are now attacking places far away from the war’s main area. The front line has not moved for over two years.

The governor of a Russian border area, Vyacheslev Gladkov, said that the children will be taken to a place further east, away from the border with Ukraine.

The news came one day after Russian President Vladimir Putin said the government wants to make a safe area to protect the border from attacks coming from Ukraine.

Ukraine is using its long-range weapons to attack oil facilities and storage areas in Russia. They are also trying to make Russia’s border areas uneasy, to put pressure on Putin.

Also, people from Ukraine who are against Putin and the government in Russia have been carrying out attacks across the borders.

Putin talked about the attacks with FSB leaders at a meeting on Tuesday.

Three people were hurt in an attack from Ukraine on the Belgorod region on Tuesday, according to Gladkov. One of them was a 14-year-old who had to have part of their arm or leg removed. He said his mother was also very injured in the attack.

Yesterday, four people from one family were killed in an attack in the village of Nikolskoe in Belgorod, according to Gladkov. A missile hit their house and killed a grandmother, mother, mother’s partner, and 17-year-old son.

“We couldn’t check if the claims from both sides about the battle were true. ”

The Russian defence ministry said they shot down two Ukrainian drones over Belgorod and one over the nearby Voronezh region. It didn’t say anything about any damage or injuries.

Russia attacked the city of Selydove in Ukraine using S-300 missiles. Four people got hurt and houses and cars got broken, the regional prosecutor’s office said.

Russian attacks on Monday killed one person and injured another in Donetsk, according to the regional governor Vadym Filashkin.

Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy asked Western countries to send more air defence systems to Ukraine as soon as possible. He also showed how difficult the situation is for Ukraine’s forces. He said that Russia used 130 missiles, over 320 drones, and almost 900 bombs to attack different parts of Ukraine this month.

Ukraine is working harder on its own defense industry and wants to achieve the same levels as it did in 1991. But it still needs a lot of help from Western countries, and that help has been getting less.
