Russian relocations exposed: Outdated supplies spark online outrage
Russians are moving en masse from the Kursk region, which Ukraine has overtaken. The Russian authorities decided to assist them by preparing a so-called relocation package. Videos have surfaced online revealing its contents, and the recipients do not seem pleased.

Let us remember that the Ukrainian armed forces already control 580 square miles of land in the Kursk region. Although the pace of the expansion has significantly slowed down, Russians still fear that the Ukrainian military will capture the towns where they live.
Due to this, many people have decided to relocate to Kursk. The local city authorities have prepared a set of food products for the "relocatees." One recipient showed the contents of a cardboard box. It is evident from the video that he is not happy with it.
At first glance, the entire "package" looks appealing. The colorful, green box contains various food products. What can Russians who received the box expect? Coffee, tea, and sweets. But it is just a facade.
The problem, however, is that a significant portion of the gifts may already be long expired and come from very old stock. According to videos posted online, these are products that have been sitting in Russian warehouses since the spring.
September 8, 2024. City of Kursk. We received the "relocation package." Congratulations on Victory Day, May 9. Thanks for the greetings, of course, but it's already fall—one of the recipients ironically comments.
Mocking comments about the "relocation package" have appeared online. Internet users joke that Russians should check the expiration date of each product, verifying whether "there is old water at the bottom of one of the cans."
