Residents of the Russian border town of Shebekino complain that they cannot get through to the evacuation hotline – too many people want to leave the city of 40,000.

The local administration has not set up collection points because it is dangerous. Residents are trying to take away in cars and small buses. As writes the publication “Rise”, the situation is very tense. Some videos from the city showed locals burning some documents.
The city is being shelled. The city is being evacuated, and the administration basically helps us. But I can’t get through to the phones that are listed, because there are a lot of people who want to leave here. They (authorities) say that they give cars, buses, but it needs to go somewhere. And getting to the bus is dangerous because of the shelling. This, of course, is not a panic, but everyone wants to save their lives, the lives of their children. It’s better to go, – quotes the publication of the words of a local resident.
Recall that on the morning of June 1, Russian volunteers announced a new raid in the Russian Federation. Shelling continues in Shebekino.
The Legion “Freedom of Russia” announced that it had destroyed one military truck with ammunition and a self-propelled mortar “Tulip” in the Belgorod region.
RDK claims that Grad used rocket systems to cover the building of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in Shebekino when Russian security forces and military gathered there.
A number of telegram channels reported early in the morning about an alleged tank attack on a checkpoint near Shebekino.
On the morning of June 1, the fighters of the “Russian Volunteer Corps” fighting on the side of Ukraine published a video and announced the second phase of the attack on Russian territory.
The neighborhood of Shebekino will appear very soon,” one of them said.
Where the video was filmed is unknown.
The governor of the Belgorod region claims that there are no Ukrainian military on the territory of the region now, but shelling from Ukraine continues. RDC fighters claim that the shelling is carried out by the Russian army.
At the same time, Gladkov indirectly confirms the clashes – according to him, the army, border guards, the FSB and the National Guard are “in place”.
On May 31, the Financial Times called the drone attack on the Kremlin and the attack on the Belgorod region UAF operations to divert attention before the offensive.
The purpose of such actions, it is argued, is to confuse the enemy, thereby forcing him to take actions that benefit the other side. It is noted that Ukraine used a similar scheme during the summer autumn offensive of 2022 in the Kharkiv region.
Then, as the FT notes, the Ukrainian leadership discussed the possibility of an offensive in the south for a long time, after which the Armed Forces of Ukraine struck in the northeast. Something similar happened before the Russian invasion: then the Armed Forces of Ukraine were forced to deploy additional reserves along the Belarusian border.
