Russia and Ukraine are at odds again. According to reports, a group of Ukrainian saboteurs entered the Russian territory, and Russia is doing all it can to repel them. While Russian officials claim they are fighting against Ukrainian saboteurs, Ukrainian military intelligence says that two Russian opposition groups-The Liberty of Russia Legion and the Russian Volunteer Corps are responsible for the attack. These groups are made up of Russian citizens.
The fighting has caused significant damage to the Belgorod region of Russia. At least eight people are wounded, and three residential homes and an administrative building have been damaged. According to Belgorod Governor Gladkov, a significant part of the local population has fled the region, and he has imposed counter-terrorism measures to restrict movement and communication.
Meanwhile, Russian forces claim to have captured the eastern Ukrainian city of Bakhmut. Kremlin officials believe that this incursion is meant to distract attention from this development. However, Ukraine claims that the attack is more of a diversion than an assault on Bakhmut. Despite the differing claims, the United Nations is calling for peace and dialogue between the two countries to prevent further casualties and damage.
