The Russian Defense Ministry claims to have purged all Russian saboteurs who attacked the Belgorod region, which borders Ukraine.
The Russian Defense Ministry announced today that it has purged all Russian saboteurs who attacked the Belgorod region, which borders Ukraine on Monday. The country had withdrawn from the attack.
“Nationalist militias have been surrounded and eliminated. More than 70 Ukrainian terrorists have been purged,” Defense Spokesperson Igor Konashenkov reported in the Daily War section.
