The Ukrainian military commandant’s office is ensuring ‘strict observance’ of international humanitarian law in the areas of Russia’s Kursk Oblast under Kyiv’s control, the Ukrainian Ground Forces said in a statement on Sept. 4.

“A significant number of civilians, whom the Russian authorities have abandoned without any means of subsistence — food, light, water, and gas — remain in territories controlled by the Ukrainian military,” the message said.

The military reported that since its establishment, the Ukrainian military commandant’s office has been providing comprehensive assistance to local residents, primarily the elderly and children.
