MOSCOW, November 19. /TASS/. Russian servicemen are closely monitoring the situation in the Kursk Region amid CNN reports that the US expects Ukraine to use the American ATACMS ballistic missiles for strikes on the region, Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters.

"Our servicemen and the relevant services are, of course, closely monitoring the situation amid these reports and statements," the spokesman said.

Peskov pointed out that "it is hardly possible to be guided by the reports of a TV channel". "But we are recording everything," he concluded.
