Belgorod Governor Vyacheslav Gladkov announced on his social media account that a sabotage and reconnaissance group of the Ukrainian Armed Forces had entered the territory of Grayvoron in the Belgorod region and that the Russian Armed Forces and Russian security forces had taken the necessary measures to neutralize the group.
CALLING RUSSIAN CITIZENS
In a statement about the latest situation in Grayvoron, Gladkov said that the Ministry of Defense and security forces continue to work in the area and called on the temporarily evacuated residents to “not return home yet”. “We will immediately notify residents when the necessary security to return has been established,” Gladkov said. Unfortunately, a woman born in 1941 died yesterday during the evacuation measures. “There is information that there are two wounded civilians in these settlements where the enemy has entered,” he said.
“RUSSIA emptied a few villages”
On the other hand, in the daily intelligence report published by the British Ministry of Defense on the Russia-Ukraine war, it was stated that the Russian security forces most likely clashed with the partisans at at least 3 points in the Belgorod region, close to the Russian Ukrainian border, between 19-22 May, adding, “The identity of the partisans has not yet been confirmed, but the Russian anti-regime groups claimed responsibility. The most serious incident occurred near the town of Grayvoran. Alongside light gunfights, there has been an increase in drone or indirect attacks near incidents. Russia has evacuated several villages and deployed additional security forces to the area.
In addition, the report emphasized that Russia is facing a more serious security threat covering many areas with the loss of fighter jets in the border regions, explosive attacks on railway lines and now direct partisan actions. “Russia will almost certainly use these events to support the official narrative of being a victim of the war,” it said.
