The Legion "Freedom of Russia", "Russian Volunteer Corps" (RDC) and "Siberian Battalion" announced strikes on Russian military positions in Belgorod and Kursk. Residents of these cities were urged to evacuate.
"Putin's murderers are launching massive attacks on peaceful Ukrainian cities, setting up their positions between your homes, your children's schools and state institutions. Every day, dozens of ordinary innocent people (mostly women and children) are killed by shelling from Belgorod. The shelling of Ukraine from the territory of Belgorod must stop!" the statement reads.
It is noted that in this regard, they "are forced to strike at military positions in Belgorod and Kursk".
"We call on the local authorities to save human lives and start evacuating the cities of Kursk and Belgorod regions," the statement said.
