MOSCOW. March 31 (Interfax) - Twenty-five residents of the Kursk region relocated to Sumy by Ukrainian troops are now back to Russia, the region's acting governor Alexander Khinshtein said.
"Twenty-five residents of our border regions taken to Sumy by Ukrainian militants are back to the homeland," Khinshtein said on Telegram on Saturday.
Seven people were admitted to a hospital in Kursk, three remained in a hospital in Bryansk, and two required medical assistance on the way to Kursk, he said.
"Some of the Kursk region residents were taken in by their kin, while the rest are staying at temporary accommodation centers. Doctors have examined them on site, and psychologists and lawyers will start working with these people," Khinshtein said.
The returned residents received 30,000-ruble certificates for buying essentials, he said.
