Russian Village Near Ukraine Border Asks Putin for ‘Protection’

"Residents of a Russian village near the border with Ukraine have launched a petition calling
on President Vladimir Putin to provide better protection against an increased number of cross-border attacks. 

About 2 kilometers from Ukraine, the Kursk region village of Tyotkino has been repeatedly targeted by shelling.

The latest shelling attack in Russia’s border area was reported Wednesday in the Belgorod region village of Zhuravlevka during which a local resident was badly wounded.

A truck driver making a delivery to a distillery in Tyotkino, which has about 3,200 residents, was killed in shelling last week — the second civilian death inside Russia since the start of the invasion. The incident was the third attack on Tyotkino in 48 hours." MT
