Anti-Putin Group Recruiting Russians for Moscow Storm

The "Freedom of Russia Legion," an anti-Kremlin, pro-Ukraine paramilitary group, is reportedly recruiting "thousands" and planning to continue raiding Russian border regions until it has enough troops to attack Moscow. The group claimed responsibility for the cross-border attack on Russia's Belgorod last week. The commander of the group said they have serious capabilities, including mortars, armored vehicles, stinger manpads, portable anti-tank systems, and a highly effective drone reconnaissance unit. The group is expanding and has a steady flow of incoming recruits. The group's primary long-term objective is to liberate Crimea and strike a devastating blow against Moscow.
