The group claimed on Twitter that the village of Kozinka had been completely liberated and that units had entered the village of Graivoron. However, these claims cannot be verified.
Belgorod region governor Vyacheslav Gladkov said a Ukrainian sabotage group has crossed the border. The Russian army, the secret service (FSB) and the border guard are working to eliminate the intruder.
Andriy Yusov, a representative of Ukraine’s defense intelligence agency, told CNN: “We can confirm that this operation was carried out by Russian citizens. These actions are in the wake of increased Russian cross-border attacks, which have resulted in casualties and destruction.”
It is unclear who is behind the group and whether they are actually opponents of the Russian regime. (cma/t-online.de)
