Ilya Ponomarev, an exiled Russian politician who says he is the political representative for the Freedom of Russia Legion, told Newsweek in June that the group, alongside the RVC, had crossed into the border town of Shebekino in Belgorod oblast.

He said the groups aim “~~to liberate Russia from Putinism~~” [overthrow Putin] and that they had “liberated” the villages of Kozinka and Graivoron in the same region. Kozinka lies directly along the Ukraine-Russia border, with Graivoron just a mile further into Moscow’s territory.

Terror Act at Training Site in Russia’s Belgorod Region Claims 11 Lives – Defense Ministry

⚡️A new partisan group has made itself known: The Atesh movement claims to consist of Crimean Tatars, Ukrainians and Russians, who have joined the Russian army with the goal of “destroying it from inside”. Various acts of sabotage are to follow. #NoToWar

The Russian Defense Ministry says that the terrorists were from a member state of the Commonwealth of Independent States, but some newly-formed underground partisan group is claiming responsibility. I highly doubt it, but it’s still interesting to me. Most likely, they’re just another National Republican Army, who falsely claimed to have assassinated Darya Dugina, and are now supposedly hacking Russia. There’s a video clip, at the Twitter link, but it’s not in English and I can’t translate audio.
