Russian Troops Accused of Looting in Kursk

Russian troops in the Kursk region have engaged in widespread looting and vandalism, stealing vehicles and destroying homes as approximately 50,000 soldiers have been redeployed to the Ukraine border. Residents returning to their village of Korenevo found their properties ransacked, with many valuable items missing, including appliances and personal belongings. Disturbingly, one resident discovered their stolen refrigerator listed for sale online, illustrating the extent of the looting. Local authorities, including Kursk's governor Alexey Smirnov, have attempted to deflect blame onto Ukrainians, igniting outrage among the affected community who have since flooded local police with complaints. Footage shared by residents captured the chaotic aftermath, depicting a scene of devastation with military trash left behind. The situation reflects not only the lawlessness among the troops but also the increasing desperation of local citizens amidst ongoing military operations.
