Russian President Vladimir Putin slammed Ukrainian nationalists as "idiots" for destroying Soviet-era World War II monuments, linking the acts to neo-Nazi ideology. Citing Ukraine's de-communization effortsāsuch as removing statues and renaming citiesāPutin accused Kyiv of erasing the Red Army's legacy and glorifying Nazi collaborators. He reaffirmed āde-Nazificationā as a central goal of Russiaās war. Meanwhile, Moscow claimed full control over the Kursk border region, praising volunteers for thwarting last year's Ukrainian attempt to seize the nuclear power plant.
