Thanks for posting those videos Gortex, it shows some of those naysayers who posted trying to say it was all lies.

It does seem as the Freedom of Russia Legion want to prove a point during the Russian "election".

I don't really buy that, because if the West was gonna do that I think we'd have done it already.

It really begs the question: why did we seize those assets and are now just sitting on them?

Because it was just for show, so our weak, feckless empty suit leaders can pretend they did something tough to "fight back" against Putin.

There has been discussions but not all E.U. leaders can agree on whether it should be done, but it does look like things are finally moving...
www.theguardian.com...

EU leaders are to take a significant step towards confiscating a potential €27bn in profit generated over the next four years by Russian state assets frozen in Europe to help fund the war effort in Ukraine.

Officials at the European Commission are poised to put forward what they believe is a legally robust proposal to be considered by member states, possibly before a meeting of prime ministers in Brussels next Thursday.

About $300bn belonging to the Russian central bank has been frozen in the west, largely in foreign currency, gold and government bonds. About 70% of these are held in the Belgian central securities depository Euroclear, which is holding the equivalent of €190bn.

If The Enforcer's analysis is correct the Free Russian Army are making a serious move into Southern Russia , Belgorod region has come under heavy attack today.

Latest from the Freedom of Russia Legion / Russia Liberation Forces.

Map of the territory claimed so far by RLF.

A new map has been published showing approximate RLF control over areas in the Graivoron area of Belgorod Oblast.

"The RLF was met at the border by conscripts. It is obvious that the Russian side did not expect a breakthrough. The Belgorod region was slightly better prepared [than Kursk Oblast]. Bryansk Oblast is on the sidelines for now, but I think it won't be for long" - a legionnaire.

A third humanitarian pause has been announced from 21:00 to 07:00 Moscow Time. It is estimated that over 20,000 civilians left the border area in the last two days. "After this, we will continue strikes on Putin’s troops in the Belgorod and Kursk regions."

Gorkovski was taken by Siberian Bataillon and "Chechen Republic Ingushetia volunteers" has taken Gorkovsky

The offensive has restarted this morning following the announced humanitarian pause with shelling resuming in Belgorod.

Excellent collaboration between RUS and Ichkerian volunteers!

P.S.We briefly describe it especially for Putin’s propagandists:
On the orders of the curators of the West, with the money of their taxpayers, they built a village in Chernobyl, which is one-to-one similar to the village of Gorkovsky, Belgorod region.

Thats very interesting, seems like they really are fed up the status quo and are pushing to change things for the better.

Freedom for Russia !

a reply to: gortex

I first thought that these guys were attacking Russia during the election to show the world that not all Russians are fooled by or living in fear of Putin.

It seems that they're fighting for as long as they can to cause as much disruption as they can.

Freedom for Russia indeed!

Latest from the streets of Kozinka , Belgorod.

The Humvee armored vehicle belonging to the "Free Russia Legion", which entered the territory of Belgorod region of Russia and continued the military operation, opened fire on the position of the occupying Russian army in the territory of the region. Local residents, who shared images from the area where the Legion fighters were operating, showed the ruins, houses, other buildings and cars destroyed.

Putin says all attempts to cross the border from Ukraine have been failed. "Grandpa, are you serious? RLF have been taking control of settlements since March 12. Putin's army has already lost more than 1,400 soldiers! (dead & wounded)"

This could get interesting , leader of the Chechen rebels is calling out Ramzan Kadyrov and Rustam Aguev , a battle for Chechnya inside Russia.

Shamil Zakaev, son of Akhmed Zakaev, appeal to the Russian electorate represented by the Kadyrovites straight from Russia❗️

We have been in the Belgorod region for the fourth day and we are still waiting for our beloved voter named Rustam Aguev. According to you, Rustam, a person who votes for Putin is a “konakh” and a worthy man. So come, we are waiting for you, show your courage!

Also, this appeal is made by Zakaev’s son for a reason. He, along with other fighters, fights not just on the front line, but holds a populated area in Russia and repels daily attacks from the Russian army. Therefore, it is also addressed to Ramzan Kadyrov and his 18-year-old son Akhmad Kadyrov, who is willing to walk around occupied Chechnya with weapons and is already legally able to take part in the elections. You got the hint, Ramzan. We are waiting for you too, Ahmad.

Yes Putins problems seem to be compounding. Now the chechens are In Belgorod as well claiming victories against the Russian army. Makes me wonder if Russia assumed they wouldn't need troops to protect the border thinking they could throw all their troops into Ukraine.

It really seems they don't have a force left and seems cant even start repelling the invaders. There is armed groups roaming around inside Russia and no one is stopping them.

a reply to: dragonridr

I think the Chechens must have a serious force in the area if they're calling out Ramzan Kadyrov and Rustam Aguev to come "have a go if you think you're hard enough" , nightmare scenario for Putin is Kadyrove moving his forces to accept the challenge and losing so losing control of Chechnia.

As I said above this could get really interesting.

Well, after the Russians leveled parts of Chechnya 20 years ago, it doesn't suprise me that many still hold a grudge against Putins regime and the oppression of their people.

Yes Putins problems seem to be compounding.

His 'victory' at the polls is a double edged sword. On the one hand, it enables his supporters (of which we seem to have many on ATS) to try to crack down on any dissidents but on the other hand, real Russians will feel there's no end to Putins control and will feel their only option is to rebel.

This Ukrainian “freedom group” that went on some suicide mission here, seems it helped secure Putin’s win even more so.

Congratulations.

Odd. Looks like they are Russians?

Seems you're having difficulty understanding the articles people have posted?
These are Russian people fighting against oppression and fighting against the Russian military.
