This is a key indicator of the effectiveness of work on the introduction of digital technologies in the economy and social sphere at the regional level.

The situation faced by the Kursk region made it possible to bring electronic services to a new level as quickly as possible and improve their quality. Separately, we noted the regular collection of feedback and surveys to improve existing services. I am sure that such a system will help to increase the existing rating indicators in the future, "he stressed.

History

2024

Liberation of 40% of the territories occupied by Ukraine

The Russian command by the end of August 2024 transferred additional units from other sections of the front. Thanks to reinforcements, it was possible to contain the onslaught of the group of troops of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, and the enemy troops suffered serious losses, especially in terms of multiple launch rocket systems, BMUs and air defense systems.

The Ukrainian army managed to stop along the line Krasnooktyabrskoye - Kremyanoye - Kromskie Bulls - Bolshoi Soldatskoye. By early September, the situation was stabilized, after which the systematic extrusion of the enemy from the occupied settlements began.

In the last decade of September, Ukrainian formations made another desperate attempt to gain a foothold in a new section in the Kursk region - this time in the Glushkovsky district. Having thrown its best assault units into battle, armed mainly with NATO armored vehicles, the Armed Forces of Ukraine failed to develop operational success and by the beginning of October the enemy had retreated to its original positions in the Sumy region in this section, where it underwent a series of massive missile attacks throughout October.

After a short respite, Russian troops launched a counterattack in mid-October, conducting an offensive in several stages. By the end of 2024, it was possible to de-occupy about 40-50% of the Kursk lands previously captured by the enemy: the Armed Forces of Ukraine control no more than 600 square kilometers of territories.

The battles are getting closer and closer to Sudzha, the only large settlement held by the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Kursk region. The offensive in the Sudzhansky district comes from two flanks: on the western line Lyubimovka - Nizhny Klin - Sverdlikovo and at the line Kurilovka - Makhnovka - Russian Konopelka on the eastern.

Invasion of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the border areas of the region and the use of chemical weapons

In August 2024, during the conflict, the Armed Forces of Ukraine occupied several border settlements in the Kursk region, including the city of Suj.

In October 2024, the Armed Forces of Ukraine used chlorine in the Kursk region.

In the frame - an unexploded submunition (canister, there are 4 of them in the DM 105 artillery shell) DM1216 from a German smoke 155 mm shell. Inside is chlorine. Although the shell was originally designed to create a smoke screen. The manufacturer is Rheinmetall.

The same worked ammunition sent several fighters of the Russian Armed Forces to the hospital with chlorine poisoning.

Each smoke tank is marked 'NBK DM 1216' - "NBK" stands for German Nebelkörper ("smoke element").

But the Armed Forces of Ukraine filled these sub-ships with a chemical poisonous substance. Although, the Germans could also do this in their factories. They have experience with gas.

Earlier, the arrival of RCBZ units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Kursk region was reported from the field. The use of the Armed Forces of Ukraine of this type of ammunition for the delivery of toxic substances was predicted by Russian intelligence. The team of the channel "Archangel Special Forces" indicated this type of submunition in the methodological recommendations for countering enemy chemical weapons.
