The Ballad Of Belgorod: Listing Equipment Losses During The 2023 Russian Incursion Into Russia
22 May 2023 at 21:54
A group of Russian insurgents known as the Freedom of Russia Legion, who are aligned with the Ukrainian Armed Forces, crossed the border with Russia's Belgorod Oblast on the 22th of May 2023. The Freedom of Russia Legion, a unit that consists only of Russian
volunteers, subsequently announced that it and the Russian Volunteer Corps (a different group
reportedly responsible for an incursion into the Bryansk region in
March) had secured the village of Kozinka in the Belgorod region,
and that its forward detachments had entered the town of Grayvoron.
A Ukrainian official acknowledged that the Freedom of Russia Legion had carried out a cross-border incursion in the area but stressed they were acting independently. [1] Vyacheslav Gladkov, the governor of Russia's Belgorod region, announced Monday that a ''Ukrainian military sabotage and reconnaissance group'' had entered the region’s Grayvoronsky district. ''Russian military forces as well as the border service, the Russian National Guard, and the Federal Security Service, are taking the necessary steps to eliminate the enemy,'' Gladkov vowed on Telegram.
