' You Will Go To Heaven If You Die Fighting In Kursk' Russian Commander by whatmoreng(op): 10:58pm On Aug 23, 2024
A Russian special forces unit commander told the parents of conscripts that their children would go to heaven if they died serving their country in Kursk.

A Russian commander said that soldiers who died serving their country in Kursk would go to heaven.
Ukraine's counteroffensive into Kursk took its Western allies and Russia by surprise. Kyiv says its forces have captured roughly 386 square miles of Russian territory since August 6.

Ukraine launched an offensive into Russia's Kursk region on August 6, taking both Russia and the West by surprise and forcing Russian President Vladimir Putin to divert some troops from Ukraine.

Following the incursion, the commander, Apti Alaudinov, said he observed parents demanding that their children be taken out of the combat zone.

In a message shared on his Telegram channel on August 18, Alaudinov said it is their duty to protect the country when it's being attacked.

He said conscripts who die defending "their Fatherland, their faith" will "go to heaven," the Russian-language media outlet Meduza reported, citing the Telegram video.

The incursion was a surprise, as NATO officials thought Ukraine would have to wait another year to launch a counteroffensive. However, experts say the attack has proven highly effective.

The Washington, DC-based Institute for the Study of War said in an update on Sunday that there was a "stark contrast" between the amount of territory taken by Russia so far this year and by Ukraine in less than a week.

Kyiv said its forces have captured roughly 386 square miles of Russian territory — almost as much as Moscow has seized in Ukraine this year — since the incursion began on August 6.

Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Ukraine didn't inform its allies about the planned incursion because its allies would have called the plan "unrealistic."
