On March 16 and 17, anti-Kremlin militias, including the Russian Volunteer Corps, the Siberian Battalion, and volunteers from the Chechen Republic of Ichkeria, have escalated their operations in Russia's Belgorod region. These groups, allied with Ukraine, have captured 25 Russian soldiers and taken control of several settlements, notably the village of Gorkovskii, situated just 2km from the Ukrainian border. Significant achievements include the capture of local administration buildings and the village of Gor’kovskii, with the Freedom of Russia Legion playing a key role. The operations have been marked by the symbolic removal of Russian flags from local institutions, indicating a temporary but notable shift in control. Despite these successes, the situation in some areas remains contested.
