Captives and Confrontations: Latest Developments in Ukraine-Russia Conflict.

Pro-Ukraine Russian fighters claim to have taken two Russian soldiers captive and offered to exchange them for a meeting with the regional governor of Belgorod. The two groups involved in the incursions, the Freedom of Russia Legion and the Russian Volunteer Corps, have reported fighting battles in the region in recent days. Russia has labeled the groups as "terrorists" acting as proxies for Kyiv, while Ukraine has denied direct involvement in the attacks but has cast them as a consequence of Russia's invasion.
