The fighters of the Freedom of Russia Legion has destroyed Russian tanks and armored personnel carriers in Belgorod Oblast, the anti-Putin regime Russian armed group claimed in a post on Telegram on June 5.
According to the legion, a group using
drones eliminated two tanks, one BMP-3 armored personnel carrier and one BRDM armored
personnel carrier in the vicinity of the Shebekino checkpoint during the night.
“Moving forward towards the complete
destruction of the regime. Russia will be free!” the legion wrote.
On June 4, another anti-Putin Russian armed
group, the Russian Volunteer Corps or RDK declared it was taking part in
battles in Belgorod Oblast.
Furthermore, the RDK reached out to Belgorod Oblast governor Vyacheslav Gladkov with
an offer to return captured Russian army soldiers as a goodwill
gesture. In return, they asked for a private meeting with the governor to
discuss the present state of the region and, crucially, the future of Russia as
a whole.
RDK fighters announced their latest raid in Russia’s Belgorod Oblast on June
1.
The Freedom of Russia Legion announced on May 22 that together with the RDK it had “completely
liberated” the village of Kozinka in Belgorod Oblast, passed the
village of Gora-Podol, and began storming Grayvoron.
Local authorities declared a “counterterrorist
operation” and, according to the governor, had most residents of Grayvoron
evacuated.
The Russians claimed that they had killed
most of the saboteurs and “pushed the rest back” to the territory of Ukraine.
RDK and legion fighters denied the losses.
The RDK and the legion reported that they had advanced 42 kilometers into Russia and
controlled some settlements in Belgorod Oblast for a day. They claimed to have
lost two people in action, with 10 others wounded.
The Main Intelligence Directorate of the
Ministry of Defense of Ukraine called the actions of the legion and the RDK in
Belgorod Oblast of Russia “the establishment of a security strip” to protect
Ukrainians.
Ukrainian Defense Intelligence officer and
spokesperson Andriy Yusov said that the raid in the Russian oblast was carried
out exclusively by legion and RDK fighters, who are themselves Russian
citizens.
