Forty-six individuals, taken from Kursk Oblast by Ukrainian military personnel following Ukraine's incursion into the region in August, have returned home, Russian ombudsman Tatyana Moskalkova reported on November 22.
According to Tatiana Moskalkova, the return of the citizens, including 12 children and a person with disabilities, was facilitated through negotiations with Ukraine.
Last week, Moskalkova mentioned 23 individuals, including a newborn, who had been relocated to Sumy from Russian territories currently under Ukrainian control.
7x7 discovered that those returning to Russia transited through Belarus. A video shared by Moskalkova shows a shop located near a checkpoint in Belarus.
Yulia Fursova from Lebedevka and her newborn son, Mikhail, were among the civilians from Kursk Oblast who returned to Russia.
In September, 7x7 found out that the Fursov family had been taken to Sumy, where Yulia gave birth. She was later brought back to Lebedevka, a settlement under the control of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. In October, it was revealed that the Fursovs' home had been destroyed.
