In the Belgorod region of the Russian Federation, they decided to form self-defense battalions in the border areas. This was announced on December 6 by Governor Vyacheslav Gladkov.
“From the first days of the start of the special military operation, a large number of residents of the Belgorod region applied with the need to start preparing and building territorial defense or self-defense units . We made that decision,” he said.
According to him, some battalions are formed “from those who, due to their health or age, cannot be called up by the Armed Forces, but have combat experience.”
“Experienced instructors, who have been through many local wars and have combat experience, are now conducting training and combat unification of detachments on the territory of all regions bordering the Belgorod Region,” said by Gladkov.
Recall that in the Belgorod region began to build fortresses.
It is also reported that, according to the American Institute for the Study of War (ISW), the Russian authorities are creating informational conditions for a false flag attack in the Belgorod region, probably in an attempt to return support of the public for the war in Ukraine.
