The situation in Ukraine is becoming increasingly tense, and after the civilian areas of Belgorod were attacked by the Ukrainian army, a large number of citizens began to move, which is also a reasonable reaction. After all, war is just around the corner, and living in a safe and unsecured environment is a real concern. Some netizens ridiculed that Russia regards the four regions of eastern Ukraine as buffer areas, but now the situation does not seem to be optimistic, so it has to use Belgorod Oblast as a buffer area. This is a very rare occurrence in history. ** The surrounding area has always been used as a buffer zone to protect its territory and security. However, this Ukrainian attack poses a serious security threat to the residents of Belgorod. Belgorod is close to the Ukrainian border, and if an attack takes place, it may not be too far away from the next one. Residents are beginning to feel insecure and are choosing to leave their homes and take their fate into their own hands. Although only a handful of citizens are the first to leave, this collective action is bound to trigger more destabilization and evacuation, which is normal everywhere. If Belgorod loses most of its civilians, won't it just become a new battlefield in the Russian-Ukrainian war?

Kharkiv has become the crux of the problem, and after the Russian army lost Kharkiv in 2022, the people of Belgorod lost their sense of security, mainly because they were too close to Ukraine. The city of Belgorod is only 70 kilometers away from the Ukrainian city of Kharkiv, which makes it possible for Ukraine to attack Belgorod at any time. Because of this, the Russian army wants to ensure its own security in the four regions of eastern Ukraine, but this is not internationally recognized. Belgorod, by contrast, is a Russian direct territory and is sacrosanct to the Russian authorities. Naturally, the Ukrainian attack will provoke a strong reaction from the Russian authorities, but it is the local population of Belgorod that will be most affected. They used to live a peaceful life, but now it has been shattered by war. Being in the border position of Ukraine, they cannot enjoy a peaceful life. Therefore, even if the Russian authorities want the residents to stay, the residents are not willing to take the risk and prefer to leave on their own initiative. Only a few hundred people left, but when someone leaves, others follow, and that's a normal reaction of human nature. If the inhabitants of Belgorod continue to evacuate, it will really become a buffer zone. Kharkiv is a key one, and in 2022 the Russian army lost here, which led to a helpless situation in Belgorod.

* Historically, they always wanted the surrounding area to be a buffer zone. They believe that the territory of ** is too large and there is no sense of security without a buffer zone. Historically, they used Azerbaijan, Georgia and other regions as buffer zones, and they acquired these places through war. This is also a desire to control the surrounding area. However, this Ukrainian attack has broken this pattern. The significance of Belgorod as a buffer zone was shaken, because it itself was threatened. Russia now has to reassess its strategy and find new ways to protect its own security.

All in all, the inhabitants of Belgorod lost their sense of security and chose to evacuate as a logical response. Ukrainian attacks threaten this Russian buffer zone, and residents no longer have peace of mind. It also poses a new challenge for Russia, which needs to reformulate its strategy to protect its territory and security. As more residents leave, Belgorod could become a new battleground in the Ukrainian-Russian war, a worrying prospect.
