Quote: “The following is a joint statement by the Freedom of Russia Legion, the Russian Volunteer Corps and the Sibir (Siberian) Battalion.
We are addressing our fellow citizens: residents of the city of Belgorod, officials of the Belgorod administration and all those who can hear us.
Putin’s murderers are launching large-scale attacks on peaceful Ukrainian settlements, setting up their positions between your homes, your children’s schools and government institutions. Every day, dozens of ordinary innocent people (mostly women and children) are killed in attacks from Belgorod. The attacks on Ukraine from the territory of Belgorod must stop!
In this regard, we are forced to inflict a strike on the military positions located in the cities of Belgorod and Kursk.
To avoid civilian casualties, we urge everyone to leave the cities immediately.
We urge the local authorities to save people’s lives and start evacuating the cities of Kursk and Belgorod.”
Details: Meanwhile, the Kursk Oblast authorities have introduced a new system of air-raid warning for the locals in the event of a drone attack.
During the daytime, from 6:00 to 23:00, the public warning system will be activated, SMS and push notifications will be sent around the clock, and the TV signal will be intercepted.
Currently, an air-raid warning related to a threat of missile attacks has been issued in Belgorod and the Belgorod district.
