My acquaintances called me and told me to leave quickly, they said that tanks were coming in the direction of Soldatske and shooting everything moving," she said.

Ziborova also noted that their village is not under Ukrainian occupation, but is constantly shelled.

"They shell so much that half of our village is broken," she added.

In addition, the woman specified that the evacuated residents realize that the liberation of the territories is a difficult and not fast process, but they want to imagine what to do next.

"We all understand that it is very difficult, we understand that it is not one day. But we need an understanding of how long it will be and what we should do," Ziborova emphasized.

Valentina Shabanova, another resident of Bolshesoldatsky district, also noted that she wants to understand whether people from Kursk region will be able to return to their homes.

"The pressing question that concerns most people from Bolshezoldatsky district: will it be possible to return there? If it will be all demined and restored, then, of course, very much want to return <...> Listening to the President, there is hope that everything will be restored, we will return and live," - shared the woman.
