Share:
Russian President Vladimir Putin has dismissed the governors of two regions that border Ukraine, the Belgorod and Bryansk oblasts. The replacements for both regional leaders will be chosen through elections scheduled for September 20, 2026. Both regions have experienced significant military activity and cross-border incidents since Russia's invasion of Ukraine began in February 2022, making them strategically important border territories in the ongoing conflict.
