Belgorod incursion: Meet the anti-Kremlin militia behind the attack inside Russia:

At an abandoned gas station in northern Ukraine, five cars with Russian volunteers fighting on Ukraine’s side waited for journalists.

A few days after a successful incursion inside Russia’s Belgorod Oblast, those who took part wanted all the attention they could get.

The Russian militia groups, who call themselves the Russian Volunteer Corps (RVC) and the Free Russia Legion, say they have been fighting alongside Ukraine in some of the hottest spots of the war, including Ukraine’s Donbas.

They now claim to have attempted to bring the fight into Russia, even if for a short while.

While many details of the operation still remain unclear, the cross-border incursion into Belgorod Oblast, which borders Ukraine, appears to have been the boldest operation since the start of Russia’s full-scale invasion.

In early March, the Volunteer Corps’ incursion into Russia’s Bryansk Oblast was a similar yet much shorter endeavor.

Denis Kapustin, also known by his alias White Rex and ties to the Russian far-right, leads the so-called Volunteer Corps.

He said the operation that began on May 22 ended a day later when an undisclosed number of soldiers returned to Ukraine. He claimed his troops only suffered two light injuries.

“I think that any crossing of the state border with the Russian Federation and a successful return can certainly be called a success,” Kapustin told journalists.
