The Russian border region is increasingly feeling the effects of the war in Ukraine.
Shortly before Vladimir Putin's re-election, the partisans are getting serious.
Belgorod – Millions of people have had to leave their homes in the Ukraine war since Vladimir Putin ordered his troops to invade the neighboring country.
Flee to be able to live.
Shortly before the Kremlin leader gets re-elected, many of his compatriots are now threatened with eviction from their houses and apartments.
Partisans attack Russia: “Shelling Ukraine from Belgorod must stop”
For a few days now, Russian partisans have been advancing into Putin's empire again.
They are targeting the Belgorod and Kursk regions.
And call on the people living there to seek refuge.
In a joint statement, the “Russian Volunteer Corps”, the “Siberian Battalion” and the “Freedom of Russia” Legion addressed “our fellow citizens” in Belgorod via their Telegram channels.
“Putin's killers are carrying out massive attacks on peaceful Ukrainian cities, positioning themselves between your homes, your children's schools and government institutions.
Every day dozens of innocent people (mainly women and children) die due to shelling from Belgorod,” it said: “The shelling of Ukraine from the Belgorod region must stop!”
Therefore, the fighters are “forced to open fire on military positions in the cities of Belgorod and Kursk.”
The evacuation appeal follows: “In order to avoid civilian casualties, we urge everyone to leave the city immediately.
We call on local authorities to save lives and start evacuating cities in the Kursk and Belgorod regions.”

Partisans want to depose Putin: Governors report damage and injuries
Kursk Governor Starovoit reported on his Telegram channel early Friday morning that the village of Gogolevka in Sudzhansky District had been shelled.
There were no injuries and three houses were damaged.
According to him, the day before, Russian forces had repelled an attack on the village of Tyotkino.
According to Governor Gladkov, an air alert was briefly in effect on Friday morning for the city of Belgorod and the region, which is constantly under fire.
Seven multiple rocket launcher grenades were intercepted, although there were also two injuries.
In Belgorod, 23 apartments in seven apartment buildings as well as a school building and the adjacent sports field were damaged.
The politician also said that five private residential buildings and two shopping centers were damaged in the region.
None of this information can be independently verified.
However, the war seems to be reaching more and more in the Russian border region and thus also keeping Putin's troops busy in his own country.
The partisans are also disseminating footage of off-road combat operations or airstrikes, making it clear that their long-term goal is to depose Putin and his entourage.
It is probably no coincidence that the attacks are intensifying just before the president wants to secure his fifth term in office.
So far, the Kremlin ruler has only ridiculed the partisans.
