"Alleged Cross-Border Attacks: Pro-Ukrainian Forces Target Russia"

Pro-Ukrainian Russian forces, including the Freedom for Russia Legion and the Siberian Battalion, claimed to have launched cross-border attacks in Russia's Kursk and Belgorod regions, while the Russian defense ministry said Ukrainian forces attempted to cross the border from three directions but were "thwarted." The ministry claimed to have eliminated tanks and an armored personnel carrier and killed 60 Ukrainian soldiers. Additionally, Russia's Belgorod region suffered drone strikes, with one causing a fire at an oil depot and another damaging a power line. A Russian military plane also crashed in the Ivanovo region, the second such incident this year, with Russia blaming Ukraine for the January crash of an IL-76 over Belgorod.

"Unraveling the Pattern: Russian Dissidents Vanishing in Putin's 'Greatest Hits'"

Russian dissidents, including opposition leader Alexei Navalny, continue to disappear in strange and sudden deaths, with many analysts suspecting Russian intelligence services are behind these incidents. These deaths, often made to look like natural or accidental, are believed to be part of a long-standing intelligence tradecraft used to eliminate enemies of the state. The pattern of mysterious deaths extends to high-profile figures such as Boris Nemtsov, Anna Politkovskaya, and several Russian businessmen who opposed Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Analysts suggest that these deaths, if carried out by intelligence, are designed to be stealthy and are often deemed as "tragic accidents."

Russian Dissidents Join Ukraine Forces in Fight for Freedom

A group of Russian dissidents known as the Russian Volunteer Corps (RVC) is fighting alongside Ukraine against Russia, but their far-right white nationalist politics, including some neo-Nazi members, have raised concerns. The RVC's leader, Denis Kapustin, has expressed extreme views against migrants and Muslims, although he denies being a neo-Nazi. The alliance between the RVC and Ukraine raises uncomfortable questions, as it feeds into Putin's propaganda narrative that Ukraine is dominated by the far right. While the majority of forces fighting for Ukraine are not far right, the RVC's extreme politics lend some credibility to the Kremlin's claims.
