Sergei Mashkin: another chief of security forces of Kursk region rf who missed the AFU invasion
With the beginning of active operations of Ukrainian units in the territories bordering russia, namely in Kursk region, police colonel Mashkin found himself on the list of those responsible for the defense of the state border.
Back in the spring of 2024, the governor ofKursk region Roman Starovoit held a working meeting with representatives of departmental structures and pointed out to Sergei Mashkin that the main task now is to ensure security and anti-terrorist protection, which the latter successfully failed. The breakthrough of the Ukrainian units in the Sujan region testifies to the complete chaos among russian generals, the russian military leadership and law enforcers, who, as the war has shown, are incapable of making strategic decisions.
Thus, many Russian fighters, including conscripts, were killed and captured.
Responsibility for the failure of the defense lies with the entire military command and the heads of the local FSB and MIA.
