Reinforced concrete shelters will be installed across the Kursk region, local Russian authorities announced Thursday as Ukraine keeps up its daring attack on Moscow’s territory.

“Today we began to install reinforced concrete shelters in Kursk. On my instructions, the Kursk city administration identified key points for placing concrete modular shelters in crowded places,” Aleksey Smirnov, Kursk’s acting governor, said in a statement.

Ukraine’s surprise cross-border incursion earlier this month caught the Russians on the hop, and Kyiv’s forces have expanded their offensive, capturing more towns and territory with little resistance.

    Sometimes of the most trivial things.

    A conservative once asked me for proof that bikes have a lower co2 manufacturing footprint than a car. It’s funny how they tend to share tactics.

        They aren’t, but if you’re unable to produce a peer reviewed study showing this, then you “lose” the argument. And even then, it’s probably the result of Marxist college indoctrination.

        It’s pure sophistry. It’s taking the form of a rational argument while strangling its purpose.
