Chechen volunteers allied with Ukraine, alongside the Siberian Battalion composed of ethnic minorities from Siberia, captured the Russian village of Gor’kovskii, including the administration building in the Belgorod Region. This action is part of a broader effort by these groups, who seek independence from Russia, to challenge Russian control and possibly fragment the country into ethnic republics. The Siberian Battalion, which includes Russian citizens fighting for Ukraine, has not received official confirmation from Belgorod authorities regarding the capture of Gorkovsky (also referred to as Gorkovskyi and Gorkovskoye) settlement. The operation also saw the participation of the Freedom of Russia Legion, which published footage of the takeover and the removal of Russian flags from the town hall.
