Ongoing updates on Russia's conflict in Ukraine.

An anti-Putin Russian group, aligned with the Ukrainian army, claimed responsibility for a cross-border attack in Russia's Belgorod region, calling it a "peacekeeping operation" and stating their goal is the "complete liberation of Russia." The group also claimed to have destroyed a Russian army motorized rifle company on Tuesday. Meanwhile, the head of Russian mercenary group Wagner, Yevgeny Prigozhin, acknowledged that the Ukrainian army is "highly organized, highly trained and one of the strongest armies in the world." The acting head of the self-proclaimed Donetsk People's Republic visited the Ukrainian city of Bakhmut, saying it would now be known by its former Soviet name "Artemovsk."
