Russia complained that its 'peaceful' people don't deserve to be invaded

Russia complained about Ukraine advances into the Kursk region, calling the people there "peaceful."
The comment is ironic, given the attack is part of a war that Russia began.
Russian territory has not been attacked much before, and this operation put it on the back foot.
Russia complained that the people in its Kurk region are "peaceful" and not fair targets as Ukraine advanced into Russia in a surprise offensive.
Russian foreign ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova accused Ukraine of "intimidating the peaceful population of Russia" with its offensive in the Kursk region, the BBC reported .
Ukraine has typically not sent ground forces into Russia, focusing all its efforts on repelling Russia's invasion of its own territory.
Its cross-border strikes have mostly been with long-range weapons like drones and missiles. The Kursk advance is very different, with Ukrainian armor and troops many miles inside Russia's borders.
