The Russian Foreign Ministry said it protested to the US Charge d’Affaires in Russia Stephanie Holmes over an illegal entry of American reporters into the Kursk Region. “The US Charge d’Affaires to Russia Holmes was summoned to the Russian Foreign Ministry on August 20 and was issued a strong protest in connection with the provocative actions of American reporters, who illegally entered the Kursk Region for propaganda coverage of the Kiev regime’s crimes, as well as the emerging evidence of the participation of an American PMC on the side of Ukrainian forces during their invasion of the territory of the Russian Federation,” the ministry said. The ministry said Russian law enforcement agencies will take steps to bring the reporters to justice. It also warned the diplomat that foreign mercenaries, if they illegally cross the Russian border, “automatically become a legitimate military target” for Russian forces.
