“Residents of russia! We are russians just like you. We are distinguished only by the fact that we no longer wanted to justify the actions of criminals in power and took up arms to defend our and your freedom,” the legion stated.
Later, the Freedom of russia Legion posted another message:
“Residents of the border regions! Stay at home, do not resist and do not be afraid: we are not your enemies. Unlike Putin’s zombies, we do not touch civilians and do not use them for our own purposes. Freedom is near! To everyone who follows us: soon all the details, stay in touch.”
Then the russian Volunteer Corps was spotted in Belgorod and Bryansk regions.
They also went cross border in Bryansk region. Besides taking footage in front of a village sign, it seems nothing worth reporting on happened. pic.twitter.com/QiUrDPQwfr

Cool!
Ukraine should invade Belarus asap. It should throw out the remaining cockroaches and unite the freed Belarusians with the free Russians and together invade mafia land. Forget the Donbas for now, just hold the lines. Head towards Moscow. Once there, the crime syndicate will evaporate. Maybe even before then.
The drone looks Iranian.
