Fighting In Russia's Belgorod Region Enters Second Day

 

BBC: Belgorod raid: Insurgents defeated after rare cross-border incursion - Russia 

Armed insurgents who crossed the border from Ukraine to launch attacks in Russia's Belgorod region have been defeated, Moscow says. 

Villages in the border region were evacuated after coming under sustained shellfire. 

Russia says that 70 of the attackers have been killed and insists the fighters are Ukrainian.

But Kyiv has denied involvement and two Russian paramilitary groups have said they were behind the incursion. 

Monday's raid appears to have been the largest cross-border incursion since Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine 15 months ago. 

It led Moscow to declare a counter-terrorism operation in Belgorod, giving the authorities there special powers to clamp down on communications and people's movements. The measures were lifted on Tuesday afternoon.

Imagine volunteering for this. One of the leaders was legitimately in a mental institution before this but I don't know about the other 69 guys.

This was the crew of the Battleship Potemkin. They needed something to do.

An psychiatrist said that often the people in the mental institution should not be there. It is the people that pushed their buttons that shpuld be in the institution.

This was a nato/brit/ US operation.
Also study the photos. Those vehicles are almost brand new. The uniforms and kit are new and very clean. Not a conventional ukrainian unit.

Zero Hedge is an anonymous site. And it has something of a paywall. Since you cite their pics, why not give us either the pics or the URL for that story.

If you dare to challenge fazboy's ridiculous statements the best reply you can hope for is a lol straight back in your face or perhaps an accusation of being a Russian troll. Hopefully he'll wise up as he matures and learns to stfu.

I wonder if the possibility exists that these are from the captured from the battlefields of Ukraine and were put there by the Russians to discredit the rebellion. With the added benefit of making western suppliers question where their equipment is going

That's actually a pretty good point. Only need a few burned out carcasses stashed away in a warehouse somewhere to bust out for propaganda purposes.

Russia also capture a number of Humvees in Georgia and I think we gave Belarus some too.
