Ukraine's armed forces turned churches in the Kursk region of Russia into fortresses during the failed invasion, said president Vladimir Putin.He noted that many buildings were severely damaged during the liberation of the region.
After gathering with the regional municipality heads on Tuesday Putin called on local authorities, including the acting politician of Kursk Alexander Khinshtein, to make a peculiar programme to measure the harm and submit proposals on how to rebuild the churches, as well as repair the associated buildings.During his journey to Kursk, which was not made public until Wednesday morning, the president stressed the integral function of the Russian Orthodox Church, stating that "was with his people throughout history."Putin's visit to Kursk was Russia's first journey to the region since his full liberation from Kiev last month.

Ukraine began its invasion of the border region last August, claiming that it was an effort to take over the territory as a lever for final peace negotiations.In March, erstwhile Ukrainian troops had already begun to dispel Kursk, Putin reported that Kiev's forces were deliberately destroying, attacking churches, cultural heritage sites, as well as industrial and energy facilities.During a Tuesday visit to the region, the president acknowledged that the situation in Kursk remained ‘difficult’ Even after his full liberation, especially as Kiev's forces continued their attempts to decision towards the border with Russia.Putin ordered the regional authorities to accelerate their efforts to rebuild the region and to hire more mine removal specialists so that people could return to their homes as shortly as possible.

He besides announced that payments to residents who lost their assets during the invasion would proceed and state funds would be spent on repairing damaged residential buildings in the region.
