![]() ![]() President Putin will hold a regular security council meeting on Friday. This will no doubt add ballast to one of the Kremlin's favourite narratives that Russia is fighting nationalists and neo-Nazis in Ukraine. He did not however deny that an attack was under way, adding in the same tweet, "the partisan movement in RF (Russian Federation) is getting stronger and more aggressive. Mykhailo Podolyak, an advisor to the Ukrainian president, called the incident "a classic deliberate provocation", where Russia wanted to "scare its people to justify the attack on another country". On Nikitin’s personal telegram channel called 'White Rex', he also posted a photo of himself wearing a snow camouflage outfit with the caption: "I never thought that the border of the Russian Federation, even during war, is as full of holes as Z patriots". The group’s leader Denis 'Nikitin' Kapustin is a notorious Russian neo-Nazi who left Russia to fight alongside the Azov battalion in 2017.Ī man looking very similar to Nikitin, dressed in snow camouflage, appears in one of the two videos the group released today. The Russian Volunteer Corps is a nationalist unit fighting alongside the Ukrainian armed forces. On the group’s telegram channel, they say the claim that they killed children and took hostages is a "lie of Kremlin propaganda". In one of the videos, a man dressed in snow camouflage wearing the yellow tape armbands used by Ukraine to distinguish itself in battle urges Russian citizens to "realise they are not slaves" and to fight the Kremlin’s regime. Two videos have emerged online of a group which calls itself the 'Russian Volunteer Corps', holding the flag associated with the group outside buildings in the Bryansk region. President Putin declared the incident a terrorist attack and said the group had deliberately opened fire on civilians. Initial reports from Russian authorities claimed Ukrainian saboteurs had crossed the border and opened fire, taking civilians hostage. Extremely murky goings on along the Russian-Ukrainian border in Russia’s Bryansk region.
