Khinshtein prohibited Kursk region representatives from openly announcing drone destructions.
Khinshtein forbade Kursk representatives from publicly revealing the count of unmanned aerial vehicles taken down over the territory.
The acting Governor of the Kursk Region, Alexander Khinshtein, rebuked Deputy Governor Mikhail Gorbunov at a regional government assembly for publicly announcing that 157 drones were eliminated over the region during a seven-day span.
According to Khinshtein, it is “entirely inadmissible” for government personnel to “evaluate” the operations of the Russian armed forces and “cite statistics.” Responding to Gorbunov's claim that information regarding destroyed drones is openly accessible, Khinshtein remarked that all data should be revealed by individuals “authorized to carry out such actions” (in this situation, military leadership).
Those who think otherwise are welcome to put on military attire and head to locales where this arrangement is fully functional currently. There is a vital need for individuals there.
