Reports of an armed incursion in Russia’s Belgorod region, right on the Ukrainian border, surfaced last week.
In a joint conference, the Freedom of Russia Legion (LSR) and Russian Volunteer Corps (RDK), two paramilitary groups of Russians fighting against Russia on the Ukrainian side, claimed responsibility for the attack, which killed one civilian and prompted the evacuation of nine Russian villages.
They declared their goals had been to “liberate Russia”.
