Kremlin Denies Knowledge of Petition for "Green Corridor" in Kursk Region

The Kremlin claims it has not received a petition requesting a "green corridor" for the evacuation of residents from Russia's Kursk region, according to President Putin's press secretary, Dmitry Peskov.

"No, this is the first time I've heard about this. We have not seen or received anything on this matter," Peskov stated.

Residents of the Kursk region have previously made similar appeals to Putin, with the most recent petition being published on VKontakte on September 4. Addressed to Putin and the Ministry of Defense, the petition pleaded, "Do not abandon your people, who have made their choice in your favor! Please make your choice in favor of the people!"

Despite these efforts, there has been no response from the Kremlin.
