Original Note:
Ukraine has not 'massacred' civilians in Kursk. Russia claimed on the 23rd Sept 2024, that 56 civilians had died in the first 7 weeks of the incursion. A daily average of around 1. Even this figure is challenged. There are currently no independent observers in Kursk. https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/russia-says-31-civilians-killed-during-ukrainian-offensive-kursk-region-2024-09-23/#:~:text=Sept%2023%20(Reuters)%20%2D%20At,cross%2Dborder%20attack%20on%20Aug. https://www.ohchr.org/en/press-briefing-notes/2024/10/ukraine-worsening-impact-civilians-russias-attack-torture-prisoners#:~:text=The%20civilian%20casualty%20numbers%20for,Rights%20Council%20on%208%20October.
