The Freedom of Russia Legion and the Siberian Battalion who are anti-Kremlin fighters have launched “massive attacks” against “Putin’s forces” in Belgorod and Kursk Oblast regions.
On Thursday the Russian National Guard are claiming that they are repelling an attack by “sabotage groups” near to the village of Tyotkino in Kursk Oblast.
The volunteer forces are conducting combat operations inside the Russian Federation after crossing the border on 12 March.
Roman Starovoit, Kursk Oblast governor, has said that fighting is ongoing with “Ukrainian saboteurs.”

According to Ukrainian intelligence the anti-Kremlin groups are Russian citizens who are part of Ukraine’s “security and defence forces” who are aiming to “march on Moscow.”
The Freedom of Russia Legion, the Siberian Battalion, and the Russian Volunteer Corps are calling on civilians to “evacuate immediately” and are urging them to “stop following criminal orders” from the Kremlin regime.
They said in a statement, “The liberation of Russian regions from (Russian President Vladimir) Putin’s terrorist regime is underway these minutes. Massive strikes are now being launched against Putin’s forces in the Belgorod and Kursk oblasts.”
“The operation to liberate the Kursk and Belgorod regions will continue until all aims are achieved,” they added.
On Wednesday Russian volunteer forces who are fighting alongside with Ukrainian forces strongly urged local authorities in Belgorod and Kursk to “evacuate the cities.”
LSR volunteer Alexei Baranovsky told Pravda, “All our groups are still located in Kursk and Belgorod Oblasts.
“The whole situation is underway. Today, we only saw the first part of the multi-act play.”
He told Newsweek they are now hoping to “march on Moscow” to undertake the “liberation of Russia from Putin.”
The volunteer forces issued a joint statement on Wednesday, “We call on the local authorities to preserve human lives and begin evacuating the cities of Kursk and Belgorod.
“Putin’s assassins are launching massive strikes on peaceful Ukrainian cities, positioning their military installations amidst residential areas, schools, and government institutions. The bombardment of Ukraine from the territory of Belgorod must cease!
“In this regard, we are forced to inflict fire damage on military positions in Belgorod and Kursk. To avoid civilian casualties, we urge everyone to leave the cities immediately.”
