[We will definitely strike back: Putin talks with injured official]
On May 22nd, when Putin talked on the phone with Nikolai Volobuev, the head of Belovo District in Kursk Oblast, he emphasized that the Russian side would certainly respond to the attacks by the Ukrainian armed forces.
Volobuev was injured in a drone attack by the Ukrainian military; although he escaped from the vehicle in time, he still suffered injuries to his thigh and arm and is currently receiving treatment in the hospital. "Nikolai Viktorovich, we will strike back. We definitely will," Putin promised while talking about the Ukrainian side's attacks on Russia's border areas, and expressed wishes for the district head's early recovery.
Alexander Hinstein, the acting governor of Kursk Oblast, revealed that this was already the fourth time Volobuev had been attacked by the Ukrainian military: "Not long ago, he was injured by shelling while delivering bread to residents."
