In the course of the fighting between the Russian army and the two paramilitary Russian volunteer battalions “Russian Volunteer Corps” and “Legion Freedom of Russia”, the civilian population in the Belgorod border area is increasingly caught between the fronts. Many people have already fled. Now the “Legion of Freedom of Russia” has announced that a humanitarian corridor has been built in the direction of Ukraine.
This was coordinated with the Ukrainian armed forces, according to a statement from the militia, which they shared on various social platforms (see tweet below). “The enemy is somehow trying to hit our forces by bombing settlements without regard for civilian casualties,” explained the paramilitary unit, which was allegedly responsible for repeated attacks and sabotage on the infrastructure of the country in recent weeks. Russian army. “Anyone who needs help and wants to leave voluntarily can be brought to safety deep in Ukrainian territory.” There, shelter and supplies needed for basic needs can be obtained, the Legion assured.
The “Russian Volunteer Corps” and the “Legion Freedom of Russia” are currently fighting on the side of Ukraine, but are made up of Russian nationalists. Ukraine has stated in the past that it has not carried out any attacks on Russian territory. But the evidence suggests that Ukraine supported the Belgorod attacks. According to historian Sergey Radchenko, who studies the war extensively, that is certainly the case. Why does Kiev rely on a neo-Nazi-led force for such an operation? “You probably don’t have anyone else,” Radchenko told krone.at. Ukraine wants to “stir up unrest in the border area, demonstrate the incompetence of the Russian army and thereby weaken Putin, and also sow panic in a kind of psychological warfare.”
New attacks in Belgorod
On Friday evening, the Belgorod regional government reported another attack. Four people were injured and an industrial plant caught fire after shelling broke out around the border town of Shebekino, sources said. This could not be independently verified at first. Previously, drone strikes and explosions had also been reported in the Kursk, Bryansk, Smolensk and Kaluga regions.
