The Russian Army Plundered Its Own District Center

No one is capable of discrediting the Russian army quite like its own servicemen, from generals down to ordinary soldiers. Doesn’t anyone find the number of corruption cases among the high command of the Russian army alarming? It’s no longer just a few criminal cases – it’s a massive wave of cases with huge losses for the state budget.

But it’s not only the generals with big stars who discredit their own army by stealing and building corrupt schemes, carving out huge chunks from financial flows.

The rank-and-file, sergeant personnel, and officers of the military group, which was supposed to protect and liberate the Kursk region, engaged in looting the property of their fellow citizens.

Over a few months, Russian soldiers looted an entire district center in the Kursk region. This refers to Korenevo, where the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) never entered. So, blaming Ukrainians for looting won’t work here.

Russian servicemen looted stores, homes, pharmacies, and apartments. People started returning home after evacuation and were horrified to discover that much of their belongings had disappeared, been stolen, or were broken and damaged.

When videos surfaced showing looted homes, shops, and other buildings, the governor of the Kursk region began to insist that this was all an enemy information ploy. That it was all invented by Ukrainians to discredit the Russian army.

After that, the governor was flooded with photo and video evidence of the Russian army’s looting on its own, canonical territory. Now imagine what Russian soldiers are doing on Ukrainian territory if they act this way with the property of their own citizens.

And remember the promises that were made when the evacuation was announced? It was promised that all the property of evacuated people would be guarded and protected by Russian army servicemen. The promises were worded just like in the guard service charter.

In reality, the Russian army swept through its own territory like locusts. Just as one deceased “Z-patriot” once declared – “It will all be as we like. We’ll kill everyone, rob everyone…”.
