Cross-border attack by anti-Putin Russians shakes Russia-Ukraine conflict.

Anti-Putin Russian nationals fighting in support of Ukraine claimed responsibility for a cross-border attack on Russian soil in the Belgorod region, which borders north-eastern Ukraine. The attack resulted in one civilian death and caused confusion and anger in Moscow. The group behind the attack, the Freedom for Russia Legion and Russian Volunteer Corps, wanted to "liberate our motherland from the tyranny of Putin." The incident has drawn sharply different accounts from the Kremlin and Kyiv, with Moscow blaming Ukrainian militants and Kyiv acknowledging that the units had carried out an operation in the area but insisting they were acting independently.
