The Legion “Freedom of Russia” called the purpose of the raid in the Belgorod region – “the creation of a demilitarized zone of the region between Russia and Ukraine, the destruction of the security forces serving the Putin regime, and demonstrating to the peoples of Russia that a successful fight against the Putin regime is possible.”

The legion added that on May 22 they managed to defeat the FSB forces, and on May 23 to destroy a motorized rifle company of the Russian army.
These goals were successfully achieved,” said the Freedom of Russia legion.
They also indicated that after the defeat and panicked retreat of the FSB forces, units of the Russian army arrived at the scene, trying to conduct a counteroffensive. The Legion claims that on May 23 it destroyed a motorized rifle company of the Russian army.
Recall that on the morning of May 22, the Russian Volunteer Corps (RDK) and the Freedom of Russia legion announced that they had entered the territory of Russia and were performing combat missions in the Belgorod and Bryansk regions. The RDK published several videos in which you can see the fighters against the background of road signs in the settlements of Lyubimovka, Bezlyudovka, Churovichi of the Belgorod and Bryansk regions. After that, videos of shelling, allegedly at the Grayvoron checkpoint, as well as fighters with equipment, began to appear on social networks.
The RDK and the legion reported on the “liberation” of the border villages of Kozinka, Podol Gora and the battles for the city of Grayvoron. Ukrainian intelligence said that the offensive in the region was carried out exclusively by fighters of the Legion and the RDK, that is, citizens of Russia.
