Russian President Vladimir Putin launched an attack on rebel fighters by attacking his own country with fighter jets.
The rebel fighters were able to capture Kozinka from the forces of the dictator leader on Wednesday. As a result, the armed forces responded with glide bombs, resulting in significant casualties.
Putin's Attack on Kozinka
According to reports, Russian President Vladimir Putin attacked Kozinka in Belgorod, damaging residential houses and killing many enemy army groups. Despite proof, the Russian military denies hostile soldiers in Kozinka and other villages across the Ukraine border. Pro-Putin governor Vyacheslav Gladkov said citizens were being evacuated but denied the Ukrainian military entered Russia.
Putin's violent blitzing of the area is a response to Ukrainian and partisan attacks on Belgorod. Putin ordered his troops to bomb civilian targets in Ukraine and his FSB to find and murder anti-Putin partisan rebels this week.
Moscow's armed forces have never purposefully targeted a Russian border settlement in Belgorod, an area increasingly under attack by pro-Ukrainian troops and paramilitary rebels.
The Russian Freedom Legion (RFL), Russian Volunteer Corps (RDK), and Siberian Battalion (SB) rebels launched an unprecedented cross-border attack on their motherland on March 12. They wanted to disrupt Putin's phony elections last week and "take our territory back from [Putin's] dictatorship centimeter by centimetre."
In an internet video of Russian government soldiers clashing, the SB declared "fierce fighting is underway on the Russian Federation soil."
Another video message was released by the FRL stating that their mission is to rescue people from impoverishment, suffering, and terror-not to murder, erase, destroy, or punish. They advised Russians not to vote in this week's presidential elections and stated the criminal authoritarian system in Russia could not be overthrown peacefully, according to Daily Mail.
Russian Forces Strike Kyiv
Moreover, Russian forces attacked Kyiv for the first time in 44 days, intensifying the war. Ukrainian air defense troops knocked down over three dozen hostile missiles, including ballistic missiles, over Kyiv and nearby, wounding 10 people.
A kindergarten in Sviatoshynskyi was hit by rocket shrapnel, while a residence and a car caught fire nearby in the capital. After days of attacking Russia's Belgorod area bordering Ukraine, Kyiv launched the strike.
After the operation, the Russian military said they had cleansed Kozinka of Ukrainian insurgents. Ukraine's military denies involvement in border incursions and calls paramilitary formations "independent organisations" of Russian citizens working "at home."
Putin ordered his soldiers to assault Ukrainian civilian sites, as they did throughout the war. He instructed the FSB to find and assassinate anti-Putin partisans. The dictator ordered his secret agency high command to find and kill "scum" Russian rebels attacking Ukraine on Tuesday.
Belgorod governor Vyacheslav Gladkov ordered the evacuation of 9,000 children from the new borderline, where paramilitaries have been firing and crossing. Stavropol will receive refugees, including children from Belgorod, which has been under bombardment for days.
Putin has shown the power of his military, but he cannot protect a territory. Anti-Kremlin groups have warned people of "massive strikes," The Sun reported.
