State Duma deputy Andrei Gurulev acknowledged the occupation of one of the districts of the Kursk region and called on Russians to look at the situation “soberly.”
Which in itself is already funny, given the general’s inclinations for alcoholic drink.
According to him, the Ukrainian army has deployed "serious forces and resources" for the offensive. "There will be serious fighting there" and this will have to be taken into account.
He seems gloomy.
