The Russian Defense Ministry reported renewed fighting in the border area with Ukraine on Thursday. Ukrainian forces tried to invade the Russian region of Belgorod. However, the attack was repulsed and “up to 195 soldiers” were killed, the report said.
In addition, five tanks and four armored vehicles were destroyed. Belgorod residents reported explosions on Thursday morning. The governor spoke of repelling drone and missile attacks, and there was also talk of a dead woman and several injuries. Up to 195 soldiers are said to have died. The information could not be independently verified.
However, other sources, such as Russian military bloggers, also reported fighting in Belgorod and the neighboring Kursk region. As reported, pro-Ukrainian fighters from Russia announced attacks on the border area on Wednesday. Independent Russian media referred to reports from the paramilitary organizations Russian Volunteer Corps and the Russian Freedom Legion. Both associations fight on the side of Ukraine, but are composed of Russian nationalists.
This summer is already causing a stir
Last summer they caused a stir when they traveled from Ukraine, sometimes miles away, to Russian territory and fought battles with the army there. Earlier this week they made another breakthrough, which Russian officials said was quickly suppressed (see video above).
Belgorod borders Ukraine to the west and Russia’s Kursk region to the north. Despite these attacks, US military experts have now warned of a sudden breakthrough by Russian forces. The current front line is vulnerable and the Ukrainian forces have weaknesses. The war has already lasted two years.
