Attack on Russia: Fake video exposes anti-Putin fighters

Pro-Ukrainian troops have advanced into Belgorod and the Kursk region. A video of the fighters sparks discussions.

A few hours before the start of the presidential election in Russia, at least two people were killed in attacks on the border regions with Ukraine. This was announced by Governor Vyacheslav Gladkov. At least 19 other people were injured in drone attacks on the Russian region of Belgorod.

In the past few days, fighters from units that describe themselves as Russian opponents of Putin have advanced from Ukraine into Russian territory several times. According to its own statements, the Russian army managed to “decimate” the attackers.

A video from two volunteer fighters leads to discussions. Apparently it was taken in the town of Tyotkino. But the recordings turned out to be fake.

You can find out exactly what the men were exposed and what the situation is in the region here or in the video above.
